Hi friends! It's Monday again and time for another of my card sketches over at
Mojo Monday! I soaked up the sun this weekend and ran out of time to finish my card for this morning. Then got up early this morning to do it, and in a pre-coffee haze decided to add texture paste which takes FOREVER to dry! So I'm a bit late in posting due to dry time wait, but had a lot of fun with this card.
My background was created with a couple of stencils, some Color Burst powders and a few distress inks. I added the mini chevron pattern in textured paste and then realized I hadn't sealed my inks, so went over it again with a coat of white paint to make it stand out a bit more. The inner rectangle is done with distress inks, texture paint and a stencil. I added the sentiment from
Wonderful Marvelous (on sale for 30% off right now) to the center, with a wash of distress inks behind. I found this tropical flower in my stash when I was working on my
Diva Inspirations Hop card and just had to use it. A sprinkling of
Shine Bright sequins finished things off.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic start to your week. Hope you can find a little time to join the
Mojo Monday challenge and our
Diva Inspirations Sunny Tropics challenge!
