Just Playing

I came here to post my OWH cards I spent all day making, but then I found one that I made first and forgot about, so you'll get to see that now. My next post will be my OWH cards. You've been warned. :D

Today I started out just playing. I still had my Impression Obsession Circle Fusion 1 stamp out *ahem* and I spied a pack of Strathmore Canvas ATC papers, and suddenly I had a plan. Here's the card, then I'll explain:

It all started with the embossed image on that piece of canvas-y paper. It's just a textured paper - not real canvas. And it's not as texture-y in real life; that darn camera picks up detail when I don't want it to. ;/

I wanted to do gradient colors, so I grabbed three of my neglected Gelatos and colored over the embossed paper. It mostly stuck to the embossing until I spread it around with my finger, and that filled it all in. I took a wet wipe to clean off the embossed area, and although I tried not to rub any green onto the blue (and visey versy) I still managed to do so. There is some green in the blue section at the top. Oh, wait, I meant to do that. I like it, anyway.

All I did was round the corners of the ATC piece and the base, stick the ATC piece down, and add the banner & sentiment.

Now, if someone could explain to me why I insist on stamping on textured paper, I'd love to hear it. ;/

Okay, I'm going to attempt to get the OWH post up next.

Thanks for stopping by!
