Using words and phrases as an integral part of a card design is something I love to do. I love text, fonts, big words, titles, you name it. If it involves the alphabet more than numbers, I'm there. (Yep, I am a Wordle addict). So when Poppystamps chose Word Art as this month's challenge topic, I was all in. This card features the Freestyle Hello die and the matching shadow. I saw Debby Hughes of Lime Doodle Design watercolor on a large stamp of small floral images, then spritz it with water and stamp onto watercolor paper. The sharp lines of the image blurred and moved and made it look amazing. I used four Zig Clean Color Markers and tried the same thing with a rubber stamp with little florals all over it. I was thrilled with the result. I used the mid-size die from the Scalloped Stitch Frames die set and cut a white frame. I trimmed the top of the frame off and glued this to a Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake card front. Next, I trimmed the watercolor to slightly larger than the frame opening and mounted it with foam adhesive to the card. I matted the kraft onto a SU Calypso Coral card.
I cut the Freestyle Hello from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb cardstock. Next I cut the matching shadow from Heavyweight Vellum I bought on Amazon. I hid drops of clear Nuvo Crystal Drops behind the hello and adhered it to the shadow and then the watercolor piece.
I finished the card with tiny adhesive pearls on the watercolor paper. I'd love to make this again with different colors.
