After winning a challenge here at Time Out Challenges I was asked to do a guest design spot for this “fashionable” challenge.
I had borrowed a friend’s Stampin’ Up Set to make a few cards and played with some backgrounds.
The base card is white linen card stock.
On water color paper I applied water then using a tea strainer and a Derwent Inktense blue pencils I shaved some color onto the water to create the watery look.
Once dry I stamped the sentiment (unknown company) and the image from Stampin’ Up’s “Beautiful You” stamp set. using StazOn jet black ink.
This I trimmed and applied to the base card.
I love the fashionable look of the lady and her umbrella!
WOW, wow ,and wow again Arlene - this is stunning, and so elegant

Your card is gorgeous, Arlene. I thought you had used Brushos or other powdered paint for your beautiful background, but using the pencils is a brilliant idea. I have to try that! I love the simplicity of this card, and it is perfect for our challenge. We are so happy to have you as Guest Designer for this challenge, and appreciate your support of our challenge. Thank your for creating with us.
