I started with a panel that I watercolor smooshed using distress inks and an embossing folder, then matted with a couple of papers, mounted on foam tape and applied to cardbase. I then used ep to write my sentiment onto vellum, attaching underneath the sentiment only.
Edited to add: I had seen this technique year's ago (don't even remember where), but resurrected it since I'm in love with this ef! Sorry I can't get credit! P.S. I did not run the ef through a Big Shot or any other machine, just used the pattern after I smoothed and spritzed onto the emboss side (both sides are the same on this folder).
This card is playing in:
NBUS #6 - EF, the script, and an inside sentiment
CAS Mix-Up: March - Stamping, watercolor and heat embossing (my choice)
SSS Wednesday (3/10) - A Bit o' Green
Ink: DI Faded Jeans & Mowed Lawn, PTI Enchanted Evening
EF: Darice Argyle
Sentiments: Concord & 9th - Sophisticated script, PTI - Inside & Out Well Wishes and Beautiful Blessings
Thanks for dropping by, hope you don't mind that this was such a quick post!
