Featured Products: Small Packages (illustrated by Julee Tilman), Cupcake Frame Die Set
Today's Prize: $50 gift code to Verve
As you’ve seen all week, I’ve had fun creating different backgrounds using my new Dylusions ink sprays. I’ve added some stencilling on today’s card with white gesso. My only problem was figuring out how to finish this card without covering up all that fabulous texture and colour! Hello vellum to the rescue! I stitched on a vellum panel so I could attach the frame and sentiment from the Small Packages set. Next I paper pieced the cupcake liner with some bold polka dot paper and painted the icing in two pink tones with my pink distress ink and an aqua pen. I just spread a little ink directly onto my craft mat and used my aqua pen to paint the pink. I used a little more water on the lighter layers. Once the icing had dried, I used my Wink of Stella pen to add some “sparkles.”
