Make It Monday #230: Cover Plate Watercoloring
The card that I made for this post is for the, Make It Monday Challenge #230, Water Coloring using a Cover Plate. since I did not have a cover plate that worked for this challenge, I die cut my Dangles stars onto a piece of masking paper and used the negative as a cover plate. I placed that on the top of an A2 side fold card and proceeded to used Distress inks and water colored it. The inks are Peacock Feathers, Broken china and Black Soot. I love the dreamy look that I got, but decided to used the other die in the set to cut some stars in Blue foil paper and adhere them as you see. This was mounted on Ocean Mist card stock with an embossed strip of Turquoise Sea paper on the side. There is a small strip of Silver paper to set it off. Then I stamped the greeting from PTI's Tinsel and Tags set. Lastly, I sprayed the entire card with a mixture of water and Perfect Pearls. So it all shines. It also ran, i forgot that I used water based ink and so I got the dreamy look that I am OK with, but it was not my intention. Live and Learn.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Barbara! I only own a few cover plates myself, and when these challenges come up that use them, it's hard to know what to do when you want to play along...obviously you overcame this challenge, and beautifully too I might add! And I love your "happy mistake" too where the colors ran...it is such a soft and pretty look! Lovely, lovely card! :0)
