I love to create cards and it seems people enjoy receiving them. You'll often find me amidst a stack of paper, glitter, stamps and inks playing with my supplies. If you would like to make an order, email me at cardsbycara AT hotmail DOT com

PTI April Blog Hop: Tilted - Enjoy your day
PHOTO CREDITS ::: cherry logo ::: butterfly ::: aa ::: fancy ::: take two ::: blessed ::: nichole's hello card ::: melissa's star card ::: maile's striped card:::
From PTI's website: It only takes a little *something* to take a project from ho-hum to amazing! Even something as small as tilting your images or sentiments at an angle can have a huge impact. This month we are challenging you to create a project that features something tilted. Position a frame at an angle, tilt your text, add a background strip diagonally, create a border that has an incline, slant a sentiment block, the sky is truly the limit! We look forward to seeing your projects later this month!
For this card, I took a panel of watercolour paper and did an ombre effect with some pearlescent watercolour paints from Impress Ink. I didn't worry about lines and just blended them a bit, leaving some streaks.
After it had dried, I stamped the hexagon pattern from Rosie Posie in Steel Blue ink from Fresh. This is a nice deep turquoise shade. I layered the sentiment over top with StazOn Jet Black for a crisp look.
I mounted the watercoloured panel onto a white card base and that's it!
Supplies:
Paper: Staples 110lb white, Strathmore watercolour paper
Stamps: PTI Rosie Posie, Mini Blooms
Ink: StazOn Jet Black
Misc: Niji Pearlescent watercolours, aqua pen
