Flourishes is sponsoring the Shimmerz Design Team this week and I chose to play with this beautiful Waterlilies set, which was released in June.
I guess you would call this a mixed media card because I used watercolor paint, ink, Copic markers and Shimmerz. Here's how I did it:
I mixed blue watercolor paint and December Sky Blingz into a thin wash and applied it over a watercolor panel. Once the panel was dry, I stamped and masked the waterlilies, then stamped the lily pads all with Memento ink. The lilies and pads were colored with shades of pink and green Copic markers. Here's a close up view:
I trimmed the panel down to measure 3" x 4" and mounted it onto a black panel with 1/8" mat. I finished it off with a sentiment from the same set and some pink silk ribbon that Flourishes also carries.
Head over the Shimmerz blog where you will find more Flourishes and Shimmerz inspiration!
This is just absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I love it!
