Mix-ability with Gelatos and More

Happy Friday! I wanted to make a card for my Mother-in-Law for Mother's Day, so I decided to play along in this week's Mix-ability challenge on SCS.

I started out by heat embossing the floral image (Penny Black - Delicate Florals) using black soot distress ink and clear embossing powder. Then I stamped the image again onto a sticky note. I cut out the little blooms to use as a mask. After they were in place over the stamped image, I used gelatos for the background. I used a damp baby wipe to smooth out the color, and added a couple different shades to the green. I only have one shade of blue gelato, so I wasn't able to do that on the top part. Next I stamped a background stamp (Whimsy Stamps - Life Defined) onto the sky part using weathered wood distress ink. 


The blooms were colored using some of the R20 copic color group, and I used R39 for the darkest shade. I also stamped some grass onto the card using a penny black clear stamp and distress ink. Finished off the card by adding some washi tape and the sentiment (Whimsy Stamps - For all the Women in our lives). Added a little button and some twine and then adhered it onto night of navy cardstock, then onto a watercolor paper card.

Besides the challenge on SCS I'd love to play along here:

This is a bit special. Really like how the flowers pop out from the background. Very clever use of colours and embellishments. Lovely, lovely card.
