Hi there! Sharon's challenge this week is to mat at least one layer with white. You can see the entire challenge here. My card looks pretty basic. There are many hidden details in my card. The first time I saw this Tulip from Kitchen Sink Stamps I knew it would be gorgeous as a watercolored painting. I started with PTI white cardstock. I stamped the image and sentiment. Let it dry. I used my Mega Nesties from i{heart}papers on the right side of the image. I used several inks from SU! Caramel, Apricot, Cocoa, Saffron to name a few. I then smeared disstress ink over the entire image. I used my score-pal to score a line on the left side. I glued the edge of my final image on the white mat. I stamped another KSS sentiment inside the main panel on the front. The inside of the base card says We love you. This card is in a box to my oldest daughter who is deployed right now.
Here's the front panel open
See what AWESOME things the Stamp Simply DT made!!
