Oh yeah, it's Monday and time for a new SSS Monday Challenge!
This week is all about
THANKS/THANKSGIVING
You can win a $50 voucher as every week and spend it at SSS Store!
Since there's no holiday like Thanksgiving here in Poland,
I have made a Thank You card because we could be always grateful.
I have been playing lately a lot with Magnolias For Her stamp set which I just adore and this time I decided to watercolored them in a vintage way.
They are awesome in every color and I will be using them more and more!
Having my Magnolias in a neutral, soft beige/browns, I needed the background to be very strong and contrasting. I decided to make it chocolate brown and I really love it. Isn't it yummy? :P
I started as always with a thick layer of gesso making the texture by touching the surface for a while with another cardstock. I love the way the gesso react.
I use it a lot and I really love this simple technique.
Then I applied Distres Paints: Antique Linen and Ground Epresso.
After that I applied Infusions and sprayed the whole surface with
Distress Spray Stain Ground Espresso (I just love this brown!)
When it was still wet, I applied Embossing Powder randomly and heated.
After that I smeared the Opal Magic Acrylic Paints to give a golden touch.
The magnolia flowers were stamped with Evening Gray Crisp Ink, watercolored with Distress Inks, cut out with scissors and placed with 3D foam.
