Two challenges got me motivated to get out some of my flower stamps and try a little watercoloring. Unfortunately I think it is the “splattering” that I need the practice with. Actually I don’t really know if practice even helps, as I always seem to end up with some misplaced or huge spots or more than I wanted. Oh well, they seemed to give the end result a unique look that I couldn’t change anyway!
I chose the colors from the new challenge at the Paper Players (#536), using black as the neutral. Next I used the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches (#600) for my card design.
I would also like to join the challenge at As You Like It Challenge – Do you prefer embossing or stenciling? – I have to go with embossing, I think adding texture really steps up a card, and there are so many embossing folders to choose from, almost always can find one that fits with my design.
This turned out gorgeous Melanie and I think. Your spattering looks just perfect-sometimes you have to get away from it for a while and then look again to know it is ok :o). Thanks so much for creating with us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!!
Ooh so pretty! That flower is gorgeous. Thank you for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
What a sweet, elegant design. Love the classic polka dot embossed background. It reminds me a bit of the Swiss Dot line of CS Bazzill used to put out (which I just adored – and still do!).

Wow! What a gorgeous card!! I love your huge flower and the embossed BG!
Dry embossing is my favorite technique! I agree that it really steps up a card!!

I think your splatters are perfect, what a gorgeous card! I also think you are right, spatters are what they are, so you just have to go with it =). Thanks so much for joining us at As You Like It Challenge!
