Just a note

By Suzanne

Week 2 of Summer Card Camp 2 brings us a new color scheme and some fun new sketches, so I got busy with some more Verve goodies. These stamps and dies are from their Joyful Blooms collection.

I used the technique that Jennifer McGuire showed us in her video, which involved using a craft knife to make slits in your watercolor paper before adding your distress inks. I used Broken China on the flowers and then spritzed them with water to blend the color some more, but after they dried, I stamped the flower images in turquoise on top. I used my Signo white gel pen to add the dots:

I scored the card base using my Scor-Pal, and the white strip is embossed using a text impression plate from Papertrey Ink - sorry, I think it’s hard to see that in the photos.

I think this is the first time that I managed to squeeze in all the colors from a challenge at once! YAY! Have a great day!

    Gorgeous!
    But they always are! :)
    And I gotta ask…
    why slit the paper?
    Am I missing something? :)
