A happy Stamp-tember Saturday to you all. I'm here today with a thank you card to say "Thank You" to all my new friends out here and to all who entered my Gratitude cum 6th Blog- anniversary giveaway.
watercolour paper
pan watercolours
silver acrylic paint
silver thread
sequins
diamond stickles
Hero Arts-fancy die
After wetting the watercolour paper, the rainbow colours were added. While still wet some diluted silver acrylic paint was sprayed and splattered, salt was sprinkled, heat dried then gently scraped off. The four edges were machine stitched, then adhered to the card base. Finished off with the die cut sentiment and sequins with stickles covering their centers.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges...
