New Technique - Thank you

Hi!  Diana here to share a semi-new technique I came up with.  It's inspired by clear embossing and watercoloring - but involves neither!  :) I just received the Memory Box Pennington Rose and was trying to figure out the best way to highlight the delicate lines.  I've been playing with some watercolors and I love the soft look.  Here I sponged Spun Sugar where the rose would be and also sponged some Evergreen Bough where the stems and leaves would be.  I then adhered the die cuts over the sponged areas.  I like the soft look!  I trimmed and matted all the layers using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A and the MFT Blueprint 13.  I also embossed a layer with the Anna Griffin Foulard embossing folder. The fishtail banner is embossed in white with a sentiment from ODBD Cherry Blossom.  For extra dimensions, the banner and center layer is also popped up using large foam tabs.  Hope you like this and try it out!

  2. I love this "spray paint" technique. It looks so modern and yet so soft.
