Hello!! Our wet and rainy weekend is coming to a close and it will turn into a rainy week! Found some time this morning to make a card for a couple of challenges... ColourQ and Where Creativity Meets C9 - Sparkle and Shine. I pulled out my C9 Brushed Blossom stamps and the coordinating die and did a little watercoloring. I stamped the images on watercolor cardstock and then blended the colors out with a little bit of water. To get more depth to the color of the flower I used my MISTI to add more of the rust color and then blended it out a bit. Once that was finished I added the sentiment and then stamped the two little splatter images from the set using a light blue color. The splatters were blended out slightly with more water. Once the panel was dry I die cut it with an AJVD Stitched Dot rectangle and adhered it to a light gray cardstock base. The CT floral die was cut from gold glitter cardstock and adhered to the image. For some additional sparkle I added some Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins in two sizes. I think I over did it a bit with the little splatter images, but live and learn... right? I have included a close up of the floral image with the gold glitter die cut so you can see more of the sparkle... it looks so pretty in real life!
Hope you have a wonderful day...
Supplies: Cardstock: SSS fog, MFT gold glitter cardstock, Ranger watercolor paper; Stamps: Concord & 9th; Dies: Concord & 9th and AJVD; Inks: SU! Real Rust, Old Olive, VersaFine Onyx Black, Ranger Broken China Distress ink; PPP clear sequins

If I could just have 1/2 of your talent I'd be so happy! This is just gorgeous, Rosemary! I really love the splatter stamp--looks like you made the splattering yourself & the gold glitter layer is the icing on the cake!

So so pretty, Rosemary ... the shimmer and sparkle is gorgeous ... and the splatters (IMHO!) are just perfect! Hugs, Anita :)

Sorry I'm so late visiting! Your card is just gorgeous and the extra ink you've used for the flowers adds so much dimension.
I think your card is "delightful". Love that design with beautiful products.
Absolutely delightful.
