Congrats

Why hello there, so happy you stopped by!  I have a card to share with you today that I made for 2 challenges, Winnie & Walter's The Gossip Column with Taheerah Atchia No. 4/Spectrum, and Virginia's View Challenge #22 All About Colors.

To make this card I started by using a sponge dauber and some white pigment ink which I applied through Winnie & Walter's Madison Creative Screenings stencil onto Kraft card stock.  I wish I'd taken a picture so you could see that step but I didn't.  All of the stencil openings were filled with the white ink though if you can picture that.  I waited until the next day to add the color so that I knew the white pigment ink was completely dry (you could also hit it with your heat tool, you just want to make sure it's dry).  I placed the stencil back on the paper but this time I shifted it slightly so that some of the white pigment ink would show though.  I believe this technique is called "ghosting".  Next I applied a rainbow of distress inks to my card using an ink blending tool.  The "colors" covered over most of the white area so it mutes them a bit, giving a very soft look.  I die cut several roses and leaves using Winnie & Walter's In Bloom: Maggie's Roses Cutaways.  You can't see it in this picture but for the solid bottom layer of the roses I used white glitter paper, it looks so gorgeous in real life!  I cut 4 of the word "congrats" (also from Winnie & Walter), glued them together to create depth, and then topped it off with some glossy accents.  Before I attached the roses and sentiment to my card I added some white paint splatters, I think this always adds so much to a colorful card like this.  I finished my card with some Pretty Pink Posh clear sequins.  I do love how this turned out and I think it will make a perfect wedding card.
