Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!
Hi Everyone and Happy Wednesday!
I hope you are having a wonderful day and enjoying your summer so far!! We have been having some beautiful, sunny days here in Mn.
I love this time of year even though it's seems to be moving a long so fast!
I wanted to update you a bit as things are moving along great with bridal shower and wedding projects. I am keeping real busy as to why I have not had a lot of spare time for blogging :( The shower for my future daughter in law is next weekend and after that I will share some of the projects I have been
working on. I will also have some free time to come visit you to...yeah!
I have a fun card to share with you today using a sentiment from My Craft Spot's Chalkboard Sentiments stamp set. The water coloring techniques seems really big right now and it's fun to play around with the different colors to achieve a interesting background look.
So, I grabbed my inks and here is what I came up with :

So, I grabbed my inks and here is what I came up with :
I started with a pretty blue card base and followed with a green base layer. I edges were distressed with the Zutter DIA....love this machine! SO easy to use and what a fun look :)
The next layer is water color paper which was cut at 3 3/4 x 5. I cut an scalloped image from the Elegant Edges at 3 1/2 and temporarily adhere it down so it wouldn't move to use as a template. I used a water brush and distressed ink to make my background within that scallop. The colors I used were TH Peeled Paint, Weathered Wood and Victorian Velvet.
After it dried, I removed the temporary template and then stamped the sentiment on top of it. The sentiment is from My Craft Spot's Chalkboard Sentiments stamp set. I sprayed a mist of Gold Glow Smooch Spritz for a shimmery look. It's hard to see in the photo but it really is pretty :) After it dried, I finished by adding a few sequins and some black jute string also from My Craft Spot.
So, what do you think?
