I made today's card once again for the Watercolor for Cardmakers class. I was inspired by Day 5 of the class and Shari Carroll's tutorial. The background stamp I used is 'Looped Flower Pattern' by Hero Arts and it is heat embossed in white and coloured with Distress Markers. The sentiment says 'Congrats' and as other elements there's some vellum, a bit of twine and one single sequin. Do you wonder at all why I placed the vellum banner over the sentiment instead of stamping the sentiment on the banner? Well, let me be honest: it's an attempt to save this card! :D I stamped my sentiment with Hero Arts ink 'Cup O' Joe' thinking it would not be as bold as black ink - well, it wasn't but it was still way too dark for the card and looked a bit odd. I didn't know what to do to save the card (I liked it otherwise so I didn't want to throw it away) so after some panicky pondering I decided to place some vellum on top of it, like a banner, to soften the appearance of the sentiment. I'm not sure it works though or if it just looks strange but there it is now... :)

This card is really beautiful. The background is perfect and the sentiment below the velum is OK too !
Upeat värit ja kekseliäs tekstin haalennusidea. Toimii todella hyvin.
