Getting AALL & Create-ive

Hi peeps, today I would like to share another card made using my new stash, which today is all goodies by AALL & Create. As previously mentioned I chose the fabulous “Textured Florals” set when I won the Simon Says Monday Challenge in November, and today is the first time I have used the main flower stamp which I think is completely awesome 😍. I also used some new Christmas stash, namely the A & C background stamp and stencil, and last but not least I used two new colours of distress oxides (Squeezed Lemonade and Rustic Wilderness)  that also found their way into my Christmas stocking 😍

This card was partly inspired by a Jo Rice YouTube tutorial  though I changed a few things too. I started by creating a smoosh background with my DO’s then stamped my flower with Versafine Onyx. I added background stencilling using more DO’s, stamped my hexagon background stamp using 2nd generation with Versafine Clair in Rainforest, and stamped a couple of random background words using 2nd generation with VFC in Morning Mist. I stamped and heat embossed the flower head onto a separate snippet of card, coloured with my old Twinkling H2O’s and Cosmic Shimmer paints which I have recently rediscovered and really love, and then fussy cut and mounted on top of the original image. I matted the panel onto blue and black card, added my stamped sentiment popped up on foam tape, and finished with a few white paint spatters using my Posca pen.

The watercoloured flower actually has a beautiful iridescent gleam to it due to the mica paints I used,  but as always photos don't capture this very well ... here is another angled shot which shows it a bit better.
