The theme this time at Crafty Cardmakers is
Layer it up!. So, anything you like, so long as you use lots of layers.
I had to make a 50th birthday card for a colleague, and came up with this.
I started with some watercolour paper, and then tried out something I've been meaning to have a go at for ages. I scribbled with some Promarkers on an acrylic block, then spritzed that with blender, and let the paper soak up the result. I did that three times with shades of blue, green and pink. Then, I stamped the sheet with a couple of flower stamps, and coloured those, again with Promarkers. To complete the background, I dusted the surface with some Distress Ink in Victorian Velvet and Tattered Rose before edging with Iced Spruce.
The accent, is a bit of fake 'Spirelli' that i did ages ago. I used a Spellbinders die to get the base. The silver layer is another Spellbinder's die, as are the pink circles and the ovals. I finished with a die cut greeting and a computer generated
50, and layered everything together.
I hope you can join us this time.

Gorgeous card, love the images Josephine. Happy crafting, Angela x
I love it when I see your sewing on a card. How clever to use that spellbinder die to match. Beautiful card Josephine. Oh and that background is great!
Beautiful Josephine. Very creative. Judy
Love the background Josephine. I've tried it with DI but haven't played with promarkers for age. Must give it a try.
