Cherish Dreams

Hey there!

I'm sharing this project on the
Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.

This card is not my usual type or style but,

 you have to step out of your comfort zone every now and then, right?

I did some stamping, inking, water coloring and die cutting.

I started with a piece of water color card stock

and some alcohol inks to create the background.

I applied water to the water color card.

Using a few drops of water and the inks I applied color

to the water color card with a paint brush in a random pattern

until the whole card was covered and I was pleased with the design.

After the ink dried I took various sizes of circle dies

and created a stencil out of acetate. Placing the acetate over

the patterned water color card, I inked through the circles with

an ink dauber and white ink to create a bokeh effect.

I applied the finished background to a card base.

I stamped the Lavinia "Alura" stamp on to water color card

with a black water resistant ink and water colored.

When dry, I die cut with a rectangle die.

I added the image to the card base

and die cut part of the sentiment and stamped the other.

Gems were added to embellish.
