April showers bring May flowers but...Hello, Sunshine...you come too!
These rainy days are perfect to stay inside an create! I have been playing around with my brayer and acrylic paint to create backgrounds. I put yellow, white and oragne on a craft mat and rolled it around. Then I put a bracket stencil over that and brayered away. When that dried, I put orange on the craft mat and inked up the brayer. The bracket stencil was placed on the paper again and I brayered away. Once that dried, I stamped the grunge on the card.
The sunshine had yellow paint brayered over the stamp. Once dried, I put sparkle embossing power because this sun has to SHINE! Grunge was stamped on the edges. The sun rays did not stand out so I used an Elegant Writer to draw a line under each ray. The sentiment was stamped and embossed with white embossing powder.
I love this mixed media card.
Thanks for stopping in and if you would like, let me know what you think.
