Sunny Blossom


Hello!  I created this with the Impression Obsession You are My Sunshine Challenge in mind.   I didn't have much in my stash that seemed to work with this theme so I purchased a pack of yellow gelatos hoping it would spark my creativity.  The colors are so beautiful and vibrant but I they are going to take some practice.  They don't blend the same way distress ink does.  I rubbed gelatos on paper, spritzed with water and then used a paintbrush to move the paint around.  I let it dry and then cut the hollyhocks out of the colored paper.

I used distress stains to create the sentiment layer.  After it dried I stamped the sentiment in black.  The lattice design behind the sentiment is the chain-link texture stamp is also from Impression Obsession.  I love it - it added so much depth to the image.

The top layer is popped up with foam tape so there's more dimension than appears in the photo.  Thanks for looking!

Beautiful card...and love those Hollyhocks!! I have Gelatos and saw where if you take a baby wipe, add some gelatos and wipe on your flowers it makes apretty contrast...I did try it and like the look a lot, however, the ones you did are gorgeous!!! Thank you for joining us this week at Classy Cards 'n Such for our "die cuts" challenge!!
