Muse 274 - Thank You


I pulled out some new Altenew goodies and my favourite Catherine Pooler inks to make this card for this week's Muse challenge, where Tracey brought us this inspiration:


I focused on Tracey's:
-blue smooshed background
-gold embossing
-black sentiment
-colours

Don't you love how this flower almost looks like the ends of a mermaid's tail?

I started by smooshing 4 colours of CP Ink onto my watercolour panel to create a rich blended background.  On another panel, I stamped the flower with Versamark then embossed with gold embossing powder.  I watercoloured it with yellow, orange, red and green CP Inks and used the matching die to cut it out. I used Copics to colour the edges around the flower to match the background.

Here's a close-up so you can see the shimmer:
