Hero Arts Orchids Scramble

By Yvonne

ha-scramble-138

Stamps – Hero Arts – CL947 “Color Layering Large Orchid”
Ranger – Distress Crayons
Ranger – Distress Inks
Distress Watercolor cardstock
Bazzill cardstock – Bouquet
Neenah Solar White cardstock

I created this card for a 90-minute scramble #138 on the Hero Arts Flickr site. Our challenge was to use solid stamps and outline stamps together. I used Distress Crayons directly on the outline stamp and spritzed it with water. I did a similar watercolor technique for the solid stamps and stems, only using Distress Inks. I added some water splatters and the sentiment to finish off the image. I then adhered it with a strip of purple cardstock and popped the whole thing up with dimensional adhesive. Thanks for stopping by.

Your card is very pretty, love how you used the distress crayons. I’m wondering whether I need them, I saw someone else using them for backgrounds on ATCs that looked fun too.

  Oh, Dolores, I’m sure you *need* them! They really are nice to work with and quite versatile because you can even watercolor with them. Thanks for your comments!

Love your class projects from last week. That would have stretched me for sure which can feel good sometimes.
