Hey Friends! I am playing around with a bit of left over scrap and managed to turn it into one of my favorite cards in a long time.

A handful of months ago I was doing a Facebook Live with White Rose Crafts and created this image using Distress Oxide Refillers, my Gel Plate, and this amazing stamp from AALL & Create. I had stamped the Blooming Heart stamp set onto watercolor paper. Then I dripped Refiller ink onto a gel plate and smeared the ink over the image. In the playing around, I also used some Ranger Perfect Pearls over different elements of the image.

To enhance the image, I stamped the Blooming Heart image again. Then I fussy cut out roses and a sentiment to add back onto the main image using three dimensional tape.

Onto the roses I smeared some Golden Acrylic Glass Beads Gel that I picked up in my big box store. This gel will dry clear creating a very cool effect.

To enhance the leaves I pulled out a watercolor and color the leaves a bold green. To create a little more visual interest, I added molding paste through the AALL & Create Cracked Walls 2 stencil.

It is amazing how simple this card was to make, and yet how visual impactful. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below! Until then, happy crafting.
