Blam

Hello! I was playing with my Gel Press a couple of weeks ago and I wound up with this really soft, watery looking print. It was pretty, but it was too soft for me to just leave as-is. So I decided to ink up the new Blam stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and see where it took me.

I had rummaged through my stash of colored images, and I came across this Cheeky gal from The Greeting Farm. I thought she went well with the background, so I grabbed my Villainous Potion Distress Ink to use on the Blam stencil. I didn’t go for a heavy, even coat. I wanted the edges to be darker that the center of each of those “blams.” I chopped down the background, and added sentiments from Simon Says Stamp’s Clean Line XL stamp set.

On my card base, I used a couple of VersaMagic inks to mimic the soft background on my top layer. I also added just a few iridescent sequins for shine.

I don’t think you can tell that these elements were created at completely different times, with no intention of putting them together until it happened. I think everything works really well together.
