A Two Challenge Card

Today lovely people, I have a card for two of my favourite challenges!  Freshly Made Sketches and this is the lovely sketch.

As you will see, I turned the sketch on it's head . . . more of that later.  The other challenge is CAS Mix Up where they want to see, stamping, splattering and 'your choice', again, . . . more of that later!

Here is my card . . . explanations below!

First, I took a panel of white card-stock the same size as my base card and partially die-cut the top with a (very old) die from supplies.  Then I stamped a flower arrangement in Versamark ink and heat embossed it using platinum embossing powder by WOW.  Then, I water-coloured the flowers using my Inktense pencils and a water brush.  Next, I splattered it with some red paint on a paintbrush.

When the panel was dry I attached a piece of vellum longer than needed for the card front and folded over the excess and attached that to another panel the same size as a card front, so I had a see-through bit.  Next, I adhered a sheet of patterned paper to another panel and sandwiched the whole thing together, so you could see the patterned paper through the vellum, lost yet? . .  I am! 😜

To finish, I added a strip of patterned paper that was actually a strip of scrap card-stock covered with some washi, and a stamped sentiment that I mounted with foam tape, adhered a few sequins in matching colours and, of course, the obligatory, lick of Stella on the flowers and vellum panel!  Phew!

I do hope that all made a modicum of sense, any questions, don't ask me, ask Jennifer McGuire, who came up with the design some months ago, that I remembered (kind of). 😉

Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment.  You are all appreciated more than you know! 

If you have a question, please be sure I have a way to contact you so I can answer, as a lot of you are 'no-reply' bloggers, so I am unable to reply via e-mail.
