It's my turn to be your designer over at Muse for this week's challenge and hopefully my card will inspire you to play along.
The idea at Muse is to use the designer's creation as the inspiration for your project. You can, for example, use the layout, colours, technique, etc. Hopefully there are a few elements here that will kickstart your creative mojo!
This card just sort of evolved as I went along, I didn't have a finished image in my head, just went with the flow...
On a white cardstock panel I started by masking a horizontal strip before blending out from it with pink Distress Ink. I then added a little water to a couple more Distress Ink colours on my craft mat and created some splatters over the blended area, blotting gently with a paper towel to keep the splatters a little more subtle. Next, I stamped the flowers, leaves and flourishes, using masks over some images as I went. The horizontal mask was then removed and the sentiment stamped in the centre before popping the panel onto the card base using 3D foam.
Materials used:
- Ink: Distress Ink - Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves, Mermaid Lagoon; Memento - Tuxedo Black
- Stamps: Altenew - Hennah Elements; Clearly Besotted - Just Fabulous
