Today's share is a card that kind of made itself. I had an idea of what I wanted, then it turned out completely different. I absolutely love this card though, and love that it just kind of "happened"!
I had originally planned to use the embossing folder then add a few pearls to the design, a flower and an Easter Greeting. Well, I ended up with something a bit different. I wanted to try the whitewashing look that I've seen on idea boards so I just started out with flowers. I used Almost Amethyst, a retired color, because it is a beautiful soft color for Easter. When I tried putting just pearls and and the flower and greeting it was too plain for me. The doilies were sitting on my desk so I thought, leaves, flower, doily! I even ended up stamping the greeting on the doily, seemed like the only good place to put it. The flower was fun to experiment with. I embossed in white on Crumb Cake. I painted the flower with StazOn white ink refill since I didn't have any white craft ink refill on hand. I had to paint it a couple times to get the whiter look, the first coat just looked a bit glossy but not white. I used an aqua painter with Lovely Lilac ink and painted the petals for the soft look. This was a really fun look to try, I will definitely be trying out other colors and designs.
This close up shows the layering of colors. I added in the leaves and a greeting on the doily. I also took my aqua painter and added a little color around the edges of the doily. Kind of hard to see in the picture, but it added a nice touch.
