I Knew You Could Do It

This week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches sparked an idea this morning, then that idea sparked another and before I knew it, I was making a card for two challenges lol. Cutting close to the wire for FMS, but I made it!

  

Here's my deceptively simple card - 


The background is distress spray stains on watercolour card and it took me four attempts until I was happy with it, lol - that's what I meant by deceptively simple! Once I had that right, the rest was easy. 

Materials used:
  • stamps - Sentiment Strips 2 (Altenew)
  • dies - Pooh & Friends Silhouette (Spellbinders)
  • distress spray stains - dried marigold, ripe persimmon, barn door
  • distress mica spray - flickering candle
  • other - Big Shot, water spritzer, heat tool, craft foam, white embossing powder, MISTI

Thanks for calling in.

Cheers
Kerry

Your card is adorable, Kerry, and the spray background is fantastic. I bet you have a number of other backgrounds you can use at a later date with all your trial and error. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
