Anyone who knows me could guess- Pink or Blue....so I used both. I want to describe how I made the background.
I used Peerless Watercolors for the background- painted onto Watercolor Paper. I used Geranium Pink, Royal Crimson and Sky Blue. One it dried, I stamped a portion of the script in Nassau Blue on the background-here and there. I used the Rose flower from the stencil and added embossing paste, then added some texture paste around the flower thru drywall tape. I added some dots with White Dye ink and Nassau Blue. I daubered ink over the embossing paste with Pink and Blue inks. The rose was painted with Peerless watercolors.
A little Washi tape, burlap with Gesso and Nassau Blue ink and some ribbon finish off the card.
Items I used on the card from the SweetStamps store can be found in the Blog post HERE.
