Stampin' Floral Statements on Glossy Card

Hi Everyone

Thanks for stopping by, it's Jay here. Do you go back to projects that you weren't happy with before? Where do you store them? I hardly throw anything away; strips of card stock, punched/die cut shapes, stamped images, etc. much to Barry's annoyance as I tend to leave them aside and forget about. We now have a tub each of unfinished projects and mine is already half full!

The card I am sharing today was actually an experiment for the hop with Kylie and the Crazy Crafters. It didn't turn out the way I hoped so I left it aside and just recently finished. I used the Marbled Background first, daubing different colours of ink but ended up so light that it is hard to see on the flowers. I also used Clear Wink of Stella which didn't make much impact as the rest of the card are glossy so will omit next time. What I was pleasantly surprised about was how the Glossy Card withstood a lot of changes that went on in this project!

Whisper White base card A5 folded in half
Glossy Card 9.5cm x 13.8cm
Inks: Black Archival, Pool Party, Marina Mist & Island Indigo

For next time, I will keep to the following steps:
Stamp Marbled Background on Glossy Card
Stamp 'Thanks' in Archival Black
Use Aqua Painters to spread Pool Party from the middle of the card outwards and change into Marina Mist for an ombre effect
Use Island Indigo Stampin' Markers to trace around the right side of the image to add shadow
Sponge the edges of the card with Island Indigo ink
Ensure the project is dry then use Embossing Buddy to cover the whole images
Stamp the ink splatter from Awesomely Artistic in Versamark randomly
Apply Gold Embossing Powder and use Heat Tool
