Inspired by all the little Things # 17


Hi all! It's Memorial Day weekend in the USA. We've got some unseasonably warm weather and it's perfect for a holiday. Feels like summer! 

For this weeks Inspired by all the little Things #17 Challenge, I went with the spike-y looking  flowers in the inspiration photo along with the colors.  

I heat embossed the Inkadinkado image (set is called "meadow") with white embossing powder on Ranger water color paper. I laid down a wash of clear water then dropped the darker colors close to the images. Those colors were Picked Raspberry and Seedless Perserves Distress inks. Then I added Milled Lavender and Spun Sugar in the outer wet edges and let them do their beautiful spreading magic. To help the spreading process along, I spritzed clean water from a mini mister. For me, this is key to getting the look I want. Then let AIR DRY. 

The rest is obvious, white heat embossed Hero Arts sentiment on a piece of heavy weight torn vellum, a couple of punched butterflies adorned with PPP sparkling clear sequins adhered to a dusty green mat and white card base. No foam tape for easy mailing. 

Thanks for visiting and please come play with us this week!
