WSW12 Cling Wrap - Always Thinking of You

I was inspired to create this card for the Hero Arts June2012B Challenge and for Anna-Karin's WSW12 Cling Wrap Texture Challenge.

 

Anna-Karin asked us to create a background using wet paint and cling wrap. I used 140# cold-pressed watercolor paper. I spread yellow and yellow ochre paints on my paper, placed bunched up cling wrap on top, and let it dry. This created the mottled background that I used for the focal piece and for the sentiment background.

 

Once the watercolor paper was dry, I stamped Hero Arts CG172 Garden Bouquet using Tsukineko VersaMark watermark ink. Then I heat embossed it with Zing copper glitter embossing powder. Next I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Two to die cut and dry emboss the focal panel.

 

I also cut a matte from textured copper metallic paper from Die Cuts With a View (DCWV) Metallic Mat Stack. I adhered the focal panel to the matte and wrapped a copper ribbon around them both. The card base is made with patterned paper from DCWV's Old World Mat Stack. I adhered the focal panel to the card base with foam squares for dimension.

 

I stamped the "Always Thinking of You" sentiment from Hero Arts CL578 Good Friends using VersaMark and embossed with Zing copper glitter embossing powder. I adhered it to the base using foam squares.

 

The butterfly is from Hero Arts CL383 Antique Engravings. I pounced Ranger Lemonade and Peach Bellini alcohol inks onto glossy paper. Then I stamped the butterfly using Ranger Archival Ink in black. After the ink was dry, I cut out the butterfly and adhered it using foam squares.

 

Thanks for looking! :-)
