Wisteria Summer

 Hello Nomad friends.  Today I am sharing a little more inspiration for our current challenge at Let's Squash It!, use a nature themed embossing folder and watercolouring.  Some gorgeous makes in the gallery already, but still plenty time to join the fun.

 I used a beautiful 3D folder from Sheena Douglas called Wisteria Wall.   I love the way Sheena tends to combine soft and hard elements together in her designs.  I am not really a flower person, but when I saw the riveted sheet background behind the lovely wisteria I just had to buy it.

I am so pleased how this turned out.  I smeared distress inks on my craft mat, spritzed generously with water, then I used my water brush with added bling to watercolour the embossed design.  The sentiment is a pre-printed strip from a Kort og Godt patterned sheet.  It says Good Friends are Worth Their Weight In Gold.  Too true.  


Thanks for dropping by.  Hop over to Let's Squash It! for more details on how I made this card and for more amazing inspiration from Jo and our guest this month Marlena.  We hope you feel like getting squashy and splashy with us.  Linky closes last minute of the month so still plenty of time to sit in the shade and watercolour a masterpiece.  Hugz

    I can see why you are pleased with the results that you got from this interesting embossing folder. I have not seen one that had the flowers and the more industrial background. It works! Thanks for linking up with us at Double D Challenge.
