For August, the theme for the Sheepski Designs challenge blog is Anything Goes! For my inspiration project, I made a slim-line card using the Mini Orchid cut with Cricut Maker on a background made with Color Bursts.
Putting It Together
I got a "Stamp It Forward" gift of sap green Color Burst to add to the violet Color Burst I already had. I decided to put them together and experiment a bit.
I started with spraying a panel of cotton watercolour paper with water.
I then tapped on the powder on the wet paper. Some of the pigment began to 'bloom'.
I sprayed on more water for more blooming. More powder, more water.
I used a puffer to move some of the pigmented wet around.
I used a heat tool to dry up some puddles.
I also used a paper towel to dab up some of the puddles.
In the end, a hot mess or wonderful abstract goodness?
I trimmed the panel to fit a slim-line card. I'll use the other bits in future projects.
I used the Cricut Maker with the PNG of the orchids to cut light grey cardstock.
I dabbed the grey with white pigment ink to break up the colour and give it a little depth.
I dry-fit the cut image with the trimmed panel, card base, and a die.
After die-cutting the sentiment, I glued everything down with a liquid adhesive and trimmed the orchid.
