FREE with any purchase! Just follow the instructions in the graphic.
Now onto my card.
This is another mixed media card. One day I sat down and did a bunch of backgrounds with the Hero Arts Spray using their Luxe White Watercolor Paper. I like to do that and set them off on the side for a rainy day.
Well, that rainy day is today! I picked out one of the backgrounds and sporatically stamped the Friendship Background using Archival ink.
Then added black and white splatters.
THis fun new stencil, Dash and Dots, makes for a great mixed media background. I placed it over my background and applied Slippery When Wet Lunar Paste over the top. I made sure to leave rough edges to it.
While that was drying, I die cut the Whirl Butterflies from Matte Silver cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Flower Power bundle which also has a coordinating die for the sentiments. Gotta love that !
Keeping with the rules of three on my card front, I arranged the butterflies and sentiment over the stenciled area.
Pretty fun how this all came out.
Make sure you have those days where you just sit and create backgrounds. You never know when they’ll come in handy.
