For my card, I started with a piece of white cardstock coated with heavy gesso, then pulled out some Color Burst powders in yellow, orange and violet. There are several layers here, repeating and dripping and drying until I achieved a result I was happy with. I then stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and embossed in white, masking off the kind, so I could stamp again in a different color. I inked the kind with a purple marker, then embossed in clear. It didn't stand out quite as much as I had hoped, so I outlined the entire word with a white gel pen.

So much texture...beautiful Julee!
Absolutely gorgeous as always. I love the effect with the heavy gesso <3

These flowers look somewhat similar to a previous released floral set (Great Friend); I'm hoping the dies might work for it too??
Regardless, I ADORE this set!!
