Yellow thank you card


The challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is X,Y,Z...  I went with Y and used yellow in making my card.  I also wanted to play along with the Lawnscaping Challenge to try a new technique.  I went through some PDF's from Online Card Classes and found a technique taught by Jennifer Mcquire that I hadn't tried.  I spritzed some glimmer spray and some water on my craft mat to create a small puddle.  I then took a mini blender tool and smooshed it in the distress ink pad hard to get it really inky before soaking up the glittery puddle.  I then pressed the mini blender onto water card stock to create the rainbow colored circles.  When dried I stamped and embossed in white images from Lawn Fawns Summertime Charm stamp set.  I splattered the piece with some diluted distress ink in Squeezed Lemonade.  I flattened the piece overnight under a heavy object.  The yellow card base was stamped with Impression Obsessions Spatter  background stamp before I adhered the front panel.  The sentiment has some foam tape under it for some dimension.
