Splashy Mix April Challenge

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing my inspiration for the SPLASHY MIX CHALLENGES - Papercraft Challenge.

The color palette for my card is inspired by this months mood board.

Though challenging, I loved the outcome of the colors I chose.

Please visit the challenge blog here for amazing inspirations from my teamies & all the rules to play along the challenge. 

For this card, I first created a background with 2 colors of distress inks - blueprint sketch & salty ocean on Neenah White card stock & added some splatters. The gold heat embossed image is from I Craft stamps, which is fussy cut.

Cards - Gold Alcohol Splash

Hello friends!

So glad you visited me today, as I share some cards!

The background for all these was created in a jiffy using Itsy Bitsy Gold alcohol splash (hop here to know more about these).

For this card a few puffs of pink punch, wild rose & purple haze was all that was needed to created a gorgeous background with the most gorgeous gold shimmer! Used bird dies & made it into a shaker card!

*Rub the black soot distress inkpad directly over the panel now. The heat embossed flowers resisit the distress ink & to pop the the gorgeous pink flowers & gold shimmer wipe gently over the image with baby wipe.

Undeniable Chemistry

Hello!

A quick card share using the adorable MFT - Undeniable Chemistry stamp set.

I starting by creating a blended background with distress inks - fired brick & abandon coral & stamped the benzene ring image. I thought adding hearts to the rings & background made sense to the  heat embossed sentiment "Our Chemistry is undeniable".

Added a vellum panel & diecuts to complete the card. The shimmer on the glassware & hearts is the Wink of Stella effect!
