Negativity......

A few challenges inspired me to make this card.....

The background has been stamped with Mono-chromatic colours 

and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

This allowed me to spray with a light brown spray.

There are also brown and gold splats and the edges blended with distress inks.

I cut out three keys with a die and made my first shaker card.

I popped in different colours of seed beads, which I thought looked masculine.

The bottom right hand side has a die cut layered lock on it, 

which has been heat embossed with copper, which gives a vintage look to it.

I stamped a key, three times, with shades of brown onto shrink plastic, heated it

and attached them to some brown twine.

The size of the key shrank to fit the lock at the bottom right hand side..A happy accident.

The ends of the twine have heated embossing powder on them.

I finished off with some copper heated enamel at the bottom of the card.

Update...Spotlight Artist with this card..
Thank you very much, absolutely delighted and thrilled x

After masking the background I blended with several colours of distress inks.

I popped on a stencil and dabbed water through it, 

to give the water effect of the white flowers behind.

I stamped a few flower stems with black archival ink.

I had fun with stamping flowers onto shrink plastic.

I experimented lots!

I had hoped to achieve a clear effect with the flowers but my shrink plastic was translucent 

and not clear! I had thought translucent was clear...it appears not!

I stamped the sentiment onto black card and heat embossed with gold glitter.

I finished off with gold glitter glue around the edge of the blended background.

Had fun with this one.
