Barbles Challenge #2 - Second Card

Hello!

Today i have another card for Barb's Second Barbles Challenge. Barb has some great photos for inspiration and some really great prizes! Check it out here, you have until 1/31 to participate!

Today's card is inspired by this pic:

I really like the little sparkle the petal has, so pretty. I have a big Lily stamp that i hadn;t used yet, so i figured now would be a great time to break it out!

I stamped the Lily in white ink on white paper, then embossed it with clear kaleidoscope powder. When i started my intention was to also tie it into PTI Make it Monday but after coloring it, i didn't want to die cut a shape out of the middle.


To color it i used a clear block and added a few drops of PTI's Autumn Rose ink and spritz it a couple times with pearlized water (this gives it a nice sparkle similar to the yellow Lily). Then i added water as need. This is the 1st time i have used PTI's ink to color an image, it was similar to using watercolors, and i will definitely be trying this again with other PIT's inks! When i was done i used a baby wipe to clean up the embossed areas. Next i cut out the Lily.


I struggled a little with what to do with it after i cut it out. At first i had a pattern paper picked out but after taking a break and coming back, i changed my mind. Instead i stamped a script across most of a card and for the bottom part i used the ink pad and directly applied it to the cardstock. Where the 2 meet i used some tissue tape the pleat some ripples across the card.


I added the Lily to the card front with pop up dots and added 3 dark pink embellishments to the Lily's center. Then i hand cut a stem from green cardstock and distress it with ink and added it to the card.

Thanks for stopping by!
