Today we were to use "specialty" paper with glitter or flocking or whatever, just something special that we have had for a long time and not used. Well, I don't really have specialty paper, but I do have a crazy imagination! LOL So, here is my specialty paper of the day.....details......
For my bg I took saran wrap, crumbled it up and sponged Stazon mustard all around. Then I poured clear ep over it, shook it off and heated it up. After that I brayered bashful blue over top. I added a few black dots using acrylic paint and my stylus. When they were dy, I put a tiny dot of white paint on top of them.
For my image, I stamped it using versa mark, embossing it with black detail ep. I colored my image with Faber-Castell Artist Pens. Punched out the corners and sponged the edges.
For the next layer, I just sponged whited cs with mustard on the edges and doodled. The next layer was white cs, sponged edges with black. Put these three layers together and added the black brads that I put a dot of white paint on the match the bg.
Put my homemade specialty bg on a white card that I sponged with mustard and doodled the edges. I popped up my main image panel and then I added my homemade bow! That's right, this is my homemade bow times three! I have made three bows this week. I am on a roll! Yeah me!
Well, there you have it. IRL this card has a sparkle to it. Thanks for taking the time to view my card and thanks for any comment you might leave!!! TFL :0)

Over the top fabulous!!!! I just love that paper you created, and your coloring on that image is so vibrant. Sunflowers are one of my all time favorites, and you sure did these beauties justice! Great bow too

This card is beautiful. Love the yellow, greens and black with the pop of red. Great coloring and the shading in the middle of the sunflowers is perfection. Love it. Every dp you make has a different technique involved. I am with Anne, I read it but could never attempt to create it. I will have to continue with the boring way of going to the store and buying it. I am humbled by your creativity, sis. tfs.
hugs,
