Hot Mess=Success Feb 2024

                                                  

Hi all I'm playing catch up here. My hot mess card isn't one I'm fond of. I started with one thing and the card morphed into something entirely different. Ugghhhh.

I started with embossing a Altenew flower on vellum and colored it with paints. When I got it finished I then die cut it with the matching die. Ok I guess that will do. Maybe I should put it on a darker background and the colors would show up a bit better. So I took some watercolor paper and swiped distress ink over the background and wet it with water and crumpled it up to give the background a little more texture. It didn't quite turn out how I had imagined. I then mounted the vellum flower on black paper and fussy cut around the vellum to get even more color to pop. It helped somewhat ( I should have given up here and started over) I then mounted the flower on the  background paper. I also added some little silver rhinestone randomly on the card. Like I said I should have just thrown it away but the stubbornness took over and I am now posting a card I'm not fond of because I was sure it could be salvaged. Here is my card:

Thank you for stopping by. I really do appreciate it. Please stop by Barb and Jeanette's blogs they have some wonderful cards they have created.

Until next time,

Hugs,
