For this week's challenge Stampin' Up! has a punch that looks just like this tile. But of course the 1 thing I don't have from the catalog yet is that punch! So I have taken a different approach to this weeks challenge.
For this week's challenge card is a technique that I am currently doing in my Technique Class that I hold once a month. It is called "Faux Fresco". Thank you to Lydia Fiedler for this great technique and card.
I thought this would make a great tile!!
For the background I used Watercolor Cardstock and embossed it with the Flutter Impressions folder. Next I took Watercolor pencils and colored as shown below. Then took a blender pen and spread the color around.
I then finished it off with white acrylic paint and the clear embossing powder to all the the raised areas. I did add the Happy Birthday banner to just give the card a little something. I didn't want to do to much to take away from the background.
Make sure that you stop by all the DOstamper's that are joining us in this weeks challenge.
Happy Stamping!
