To begìn I chose my three colours. I wanted to use colours I don't often use, after the comment in one of Bev's lives to "try not to use those favourite colours". I also wanted to be able to use matching spritz sprays, so I chose the colours below.
Next I drew round the inside of the 6" heart easy frame using a black micron pen.
Then I stamped the zig zag border from the freehand borders 1 stamp set using versafine clair nocturne.
To give the background its first colour I used the alternate circles inkable with warm lipstick distress ink.
For the second colour of the background I blended wilted violet distress ink through the off set dots inkable and then for the third colour I spritzed weathered wood distress spritz through the same inkable. This was left to dry naturally.
When the spritz was dry, I stamped the circles with small dots, from journal art elements 3, three times using weathered wood distress ink.
Next I stamped the circles with letters from the same stamp set three times with warm lipstick distress ink.
To finish the background I added three sets of the multi-circle stamp from journal art elements 1 using wilted violet distress ink. (Sorry forgot to take a photo.)
On seperate card I stamped 3 of the large flower head and 5 of the large leaf from the dandedaisy stamp set using versafine clair nocturne.
I coloured the images by spraying a little of the distress spritz sprays on my blending mat and using a paintbrush to paint them.
The spritz sprays can look a little dull until the light catches them and then they are really vibrant.
After cutting them out I glued them to the page.
Finally I stamped and cut out a sentiment from the ticker tape 1 stamp set and then glued it to the page.
