This week we are welcoming the lovely Sandra Rupp aka SR Paper Love into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat! Please pop over to say hi! :-)
I made a card using Paper Rose Texture 2 and Stitched Eucalyptus Dies. You may need to wear your shades before scrolling down, it is quite bright ;-)
I really had fun making this background! I started with White Yupo Paper and Dandelion, Coral and Sublime Pearls Alcohol Inks. I sprinkled a few drops of Alcohol Blending Solution and chased the inks around with an environmentally friendly Bamboo Drinking Straw. While the ink was still puddled in places I applied a layer of Gold Foil and buffed it with a Teflon Bone Folder (best tool ever!!) so that it would stick to the wet ink. Isn't it GORGEOUS!!
I then used the Paper Rose Texture 2 die and cut a panel from the background and made a shaker. I blended Mowed Lawn Oxide Ink over the Stitched Eucalyptus and used black archival to add some script design onto the leaves, I then layered with black cardstock wo give it a more 3D look.
I used a Tim Holtz Celebration Words Die for the sentiment and added a couple of remnant rub butterflies and a few black gems to finish.
I had a little strip of the backgound paper left over so rather than throwing it away I used it to decorate the envelope, a little touch but I think it makes the card more special, what do you think?
Thanks for looking :-)
