I was having a bit of a mooch through a box of odd pieces saved from other makes when I found two pieces left over from an acrylic dirty pour a long time back.
Looking at them I wondered why I kept a couple of them cos they were very small and odd shaped but obviously I was psychic as they fitted perfectly into the idea I had in my head for this challenge!
I embossed a piece of cardstock for some texture on the background then die cut my heart from the biggest saved piece.
I used the other small pieces to paper piece the flowers.
Am not sure whether I will use this as an anniversary card or another occasion so currently no sentiment!
I need to do this technique a little more often as I really enjoy it and you never know what patterns and designs are going to turn out!
Hope that you can find time to join us this challenge - look forward to seeing your creations as always! x
A really striking card - love it. I quite enjoy colouring techniques which give unpredictable results, a lovely surprise when you get to see the outcome (usually anyway) and even if they aren't what you were intending can be kept and used for something or other 😁
ReplyDeleteWow Viv, what a stunning card. I love that bright paper. It really pops against the white, and the background texture is super. Hope all is well. hugs-Erika

ReplyDeleteSo inventive to use those found dirty pours to create the flower heads and heart. Reminds me of melted chocolate... scrumptious upon the embossed backing. Thank you for the inspiration.
