Shimmering Sympathy

Hi friends! I'm up on the Shimmerz blog today with this sympathy card with a bit of shimmer.

I started with the Tall Blooms set from Reverse Confetti. I knew I wanted to use this pretty flower and sentiment, so stamped the flower in jet black amalgam ink twice on watercolor paper. I then watercolored the flowers with Jeni B. Bleu Vibez, Well Blue Me Down Coloringz and It's Mint to Be Shimmerz. I used Elfin' Magic Vibez for the leaves. When these were dry, I fussy cut the two floral pieces on one image and cut a tag with the other flower image. Next I masked off the image and used a brick stencil and some See Ya Latte' Spritz to create a background. When dry, I removed the mask and then added the cut flower pieces, curling up the edges for a little added dimension. I highlighted the little dots in the center of the flower with Spun Sugar Dazzlerz.

For the background, I used a crackle stencil and blended in some see ya latte', Jeni B. Bleu and Well Blue Me Down sprays with a blending tool.  I then cut a length of sheer ribbon and dyed it to match the card with some water and Well Blue Me Down Coloringz. I used the excess ink to make some ink splatters on my background and then started layering everything together.

The sentiment is from the same Tall Blooms stamp set and I accented the sentiment strip with a heart from the CottageCutz Cup of Love die, stacked three times. I accented the bow of the tage with the inner cut out from the heart.
