thanks - you are incredible - Aud Sentiments #258

Thursday August 20-31, 2020

Hello.. I have a card to share for the new challenge going on over at Aud Sentiments #258

Our theme for our two weeks challenge is
ANYTHING GOES + SENTIMENT



I first created the background. Using Mission Gold watercolors and adding salt while the paint was still wet. I love the effect it gives.  I set it aside to dry. I then found a light creamy color script scrap and using Taylored Expression birch die I cut it out and using Quick quote chalk ink just gave a little color to the birch trees. I added some foam dots and added to the dry background. I die cut the My favorite things "thanks" 4 times.. I used an orange scrap and glued them all together but once it was done I didn't (or should say my hubby didn't like the orange) so I die cut the teal and adhered over the orange pile of thanks. You can see a hint of orange which I do like that hint. I stamped the Simon Says sentiment and heat embossed. I die cut two MFT birds and layered them two times and added to the card.

    Love those trees. I have a similar die but have only used it as a Christmas scene. You have inspired me to use it in a different way. Elaine
