A big congrats to Paula, the newest Featured Stamper! Such a beautiful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the white embossing & lovely turquoise color, but I used different images, a big sun instead of a flower & an umbrella instead of ribbon.
For my version, I was thinking along the lines of the sun coming out after a rain. To make the bg, I white embossed the Belles Vignes on white then sponged on the distress inks. I used a water brush to splatter it with water (for the lighter rain drops) then used a white spray I made by mixing a little white acrylic paint & water in a mini mister & spritzed it on.
The sun was also white embossed on another piece of white, die cut & w/ the circle die still in place, I sponged on the colors. I didnÂ’t like the way the hills turned out, so I did them over, fussy cut them & added them on top. For the yellow layer, I didnÂ’t have enough of the right color of yellow, so I used a couple of yellow Copics around the edges before I attached the turquoise layer on top.
The umbrella was die cut 3 times & I shortened the very top one & used a Scor-Pal to add the score lines on the top 2 in order to fold them a bit. I wanted it to look as if the umbrella was being folded up to put away. The clouds & greeting were added to finish.
Congrats again, Paula! Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff
