Be Happy with GDT Mindy

Welcome everyone! I’m thrilled to be guesting designing over at Dare 2B Artzy today with these gorgeous Tiger Lilies!

I started my card by heat embossing the Tiger Lilies onto Neenah Solar White cardstock with Hero Arts Embossing ink and Brutus Monroe Alabaster Embossing Powder.

Next, I used the emboss resist technique and ink blended Thistle, Grape Slush and Pool Party Hero Hues Reactive Inks using a small sponge dauber. I wiped off the excess ink with a paper towel to reveal the bright white embossing. Then fussy cut out my images.

For the background, I used a sun ray stencil and ink blended Fruit Punch and Lemon Drop inks. Once I removed the stencil, I lightly went over the white space with those same ink colors. I spritzed with water to create the speckles and also flicked on some Perfect Pearls mixed with water for a little shine.

Have a great day!
