The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!
For my card I started with some water color paper and papertrey inks. I used some masking tape on the sides. I brushed on clear water first. Then I added color using bright buttercup, hawaiian shores, and hibiscus burst. I kept the colors soft. I popped up an hibiscus flower and leaves from the Some Like It Hot set stamped with berry sorbet. I stamped off the bottom layer.
For the detailed layer I stamped it in versamark and heat set in clear for some added shine and subtle texture. I stamped the sentiment using Tropics stamp set in versafine onyx black. I finished my card with some loose threading, clear sequins, and a touch of tonal glitter to the top of the stamen. I am also playing along with this week's CAS(E) This Sketch.
