Kylie's International Blog Highlight March 2020

Hello and welcome,


Today, I will be sharing a card that I’ve created for Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights with the theme “Thank you”. I’ve entered my card in this month’s challenge and the top 10 winners get to participate later this month in an International Blog Hop. I would really love it if you would take a moment and vote for my card. The link is here or at the end of this blog. Thank you so much!

The colours of the card are very similar to a shaker card that I made recently. I just love the bright colours and water colouring is such a fun technique.

I started off with a panel of Shimmery White Cardstock and randomly adding ink to the Cardstock. I’ve used Mango Melody, Poppy Parade, Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss. All of the colours have been watered down. Once the water colour was completely dried, I then stamped the splatter stamp from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and used Stazon Ink. The panel was layered over the card base of Basic Black.

I’ve also used the Painted Labels Dies for the card, using scraps of Basic Black Cardstock, I’ve used the swirly circle die and placed it under the Poppies. The other die cut piece is used under the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Label Me Bold Stamp Set.

The Poppies are stamped in Stazon Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock and I’ve used the same colours as I had used for the water colour background. Starting from the centre with the darker colours and working my way out until finished. I like to add a bit more colour if needed. 

The sweet little black flower-shaped sequins are from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins they also come in round, in the following colours - Gold, dark Poppy Parade, light Poppy Parade and clear. 

The layout for my card was cased from the card on page 4 of the 2020 Mini Catalogue. I really liked how the Poppies are layered over the black cardstock. 

I do like the mix of bright colours against the black stamped images and the Cardstock. What do you think?
