Together & Always

Dear friends,

Inspired by a few challenges i would like to share a layout and a card today.

Card with Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamp.

http://altenewblog.com/2017/02/01/february-2017-inspiration-challenge/


 I created the background with Camlin soft pastels. I used black & white colours to get a grey finish.Sprinkled some Camlin white fabric paint.

I stamped the wild hibiscus stamp flowers & leaf on a regular cardstock with Versamark watermark inkpad and heat embossed it with Ranger Golden embossing powder.I watercoloured the flowers and leaves with Dawler & Rowney watercolours.

Used foam tape to adhere to the cardstock and added shaker elements and black outliner

The second project is a scrapbook layout using Mudra stamps - the economical Indian stampers.
