Dried Marigold, Texture Paste and Spellbinders

Hi everybody, sorry I've been away for so long, but I've had a busy month! Been on holidays, my daughter graduated high school among other things lol. So we have a new challenge starting at Eclectic Ellapu and for the Purple team the the theme is to use Texture Paste. I was a bit challenged by this card, nothing seemed to balance out but I got there in the end.

To start this card I used a Heidi Swapp mini stencil, with Liquitex texture paste. Over this I used dried marigold distress ink. I also used distress ink around my card base. I then used my ebosser to cut Spellbinders dies, the top butterfly layer is vellum. I used more dried marigold on these as well as to stamp the Fiskars sentiment. I added some ribbon and bead string as well as bling from Kaisercraft to finish.

I am back to the See Dee's stamp set again for this card from Day 8 of Stetch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. I have used a combination of Prima and Distress Inks for the Ombre as well as versamark and Hero Arts White embossing powder for the flowers. I used a mini version of a technique from Watercolor For Card Makers for the banner. Only a few more days to get posted yay lol.
