i was able to make a card for the new AEI{heart}U challenge! so exciting! this one is all about gradient/ombre coloring! swoon! who doesn't love that right now?
so for my card, i added color to everything with a gradient/ombre feel! and i used LOTS of different distress products! he he! LOVE getting messy!
i took a panel of watercolor paper that i had lying around and stamped the clouds from avery elle's happy camper stamp set (SUCH a fun set!!), in various shades of blues and teals. then i spritzed that with water and let the colors move, and meld and bleed together! sooo fun!
the mountains were done the same way, except i smooched my vintage photo and old paper ink pads right onto the watercolor paper and then spritzed it! then i stamped my mountain images twice and popped up the middle one for dimension! :)
for the gradience in the sun, i colored onto the stamp itself in wild honey and mustard seed distress markers, then stamped onto my card base. :)
the sentiment was stamped onto some vellum and then hid behind the mountains and i love the softness the vellum adds! :) the sentiment was created with the simply said: hello stamp set. LOVE the font of this set, and the versatility!
i finished the card off with some triangle wood veneers (birds, perhaps?!) and that's that! i LOVE it!! :)
hope it made you smile today!
enjoy!
This is awesome! You clearly had a ball making this and that totally comes through in your fun and funky design!
