This card started off as a bit of an experiment - the inner panel was originally supposed to be the card, but I wasn't happy with it. I used an Inkables stencil and versamark, and then embossed the design, and then used Luscious powders and Brushos over the image, sprayed with a little water. As I said I wasn't happy with it.
I then took a black card and using the Lilies die cut out the aperture and cut away some of the Lilies. I then cut down the original background and stuck it down behind the aperture.
Some sentiments were then stamped onto white card using the Creative Expressions Big Ideas stamps. and edged with black,.
It was beginning to come together. I applied clear sparkle pen to the remaining Lily and placed a gem in the centre.
I felt it needed something else, so I applied some Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter drops to two of the corners ......... this is when it went slightly pear-shaped, as I managed to smudge the drops when I moved the card to let the drops dry. Oh heck or words to that extent were said as I needed the card dry and ready to post the next morning (I was making it rather late in the day I do confess - and I didn't have time to start all over again!)
There was nothing for it but to recreate the splodged mess all over the surround, by adding more dots and splodging them with my finger - thankfully it seemed to work. Not quite my usual style of card, but it is for a felly crafter, who will hopefully think I have just gone for the "grunge" look.
An insert was crated in Craft Artist.
