Next I started to rub the string covered block across a piece of Whip Cream card stock. I twisted and rubbed the string against the paper as if I was trying to clean the string or rub the ink off of it. It created this beautiful soft look on the card stock. I could have stopped there, but I wanted to add something more.
So, the next step I did was to spray Cool Pool Color Splash across the paper. I placed it in a box and gave it one spritz, from far away. I just wanted a light coverage.
I then repeated with Silver Shimmer Color Splash using the same method.
I really like how it turned out. The colors are soft and look really pretty. I then decided to add some of our Silver and Pool Play Sparkle tape across the bottom section of the card. Using the Whip Cream Thread, I wrapped it around the piece centering it between the sparkle tape.
I then used the Timeless Foliage Steel Rule die to cut out one of each leave design. I did one in Whip Cream, one in Tubo Teal, and one in Brushed Silver. They were then glued to the front and I added a Whip Cream Thread bow where the stems meet. As a final touch I added some Fashion Silver dots. This was then popped up on a Turbo Teal Base card. Here is a close up.
I decided not to add a sentiment as I think It really didn't need one. You can use this card for any number of occasions or just as a note card. I hope you like it and will give it a try for yourself!
