Instructions
Step 1: Trim Distress Watercolor Cardstock to 5x3.75" and create a sunset scene by blending Wendy Vecchi Blendable Dye Inks. Use Red Geranium, Tiger Lily and Sunflower for the sky and leave a blank area at the bottom of the panel.
Step 2: Fill the blank area with Wendy Vecchi Blendable Dye Ink in the color Fern Green. Use Distress® Blending Brushes for a softer blend.
Step 3: Create a stamped silhouette effect by stamping images from the Wendy Vecchi Bravo Stamp, Die & Stencil Set with Archival Ink™ in Jet Black. Stamp the flowers at different heights and use a Dylusions Black Paint Pen to extend some of the stems.
Step 4: Create some shimmery droplets using a Dylusions Shimmer Spray in White Linen. For more control, add some of the solution to a Non-Stick Craft Sheet and use a paintbrush to create the drops.
Step 5: Stamp the sentiment with Archival Ink in Jet Black directly on the panel. Glue the panel to some black cardstock, cut to 4x5.25", and then glue everything on a Wendy Vecchi Perfect Cardstock White Card.
I am an Italian crafter with a huge passion for card making and paper crafting. I currently live in England with my husband, who always supports and encourages me, and is the reason I started exploring my crafty side in the first place. I love crafts in general, but paper crafts really stole my heart! I like bright and cheerful cards, and I am always trying to experiment with new media and techniques.
I love sharing my creations on my blog, YouTube channel and social media, where you can find me as @lauravolpescards. Come over and say hi!
