Getting Messy with Watercolors, part 2

 

Today is the the 12th and it is time for another Hot Mess card. This card is #74, so we are into year #8. The idea of Hot Mess ~ Success is to Get Messy and you will have Success!  Messiness can be almost anything that we come up with--glitter, alcohol inks, glimmer glitz, sponged backgrounds, etc., anything that is a bit messy.  We are a very fun group and will post a card each month on the 12th.  The links to the other members are on my left side bar and I will also link them at the bottom at this post.

For my messiness this month, I cheated a bit and used some leftovers from last month when I used Taylored Expressions Liquid Watercolors on Yupo paper.  I had made two panels and used the second full panel as the background.  I had some leftover leaves and a part of the first panel where I was able to die cut the sentiment.  From last month, I smooched the Yupo paper on the liquid watercolor that I placed on my glassboard.  I then die cut the leaves from the colorful paper with a Simon Hurley-Spellbinders die set called Foliage Hello. I also die cut a set of foliage from solid Blue Corn cardstock. The Thanks sentiment is from a Pinkfresh Studio die set called Scripted Greetings.  I picked a Gina Marie Designs Cottage Lattice Cover Die and layered it in white three times over the colorful panel. I then die cut a Pinkfresh Studio Double Stitched Oval from vellum to place under the leaves and the sentiment.  I add some Studio Katia Teal Ocean Pearls around the foliage.

I really like the look of this card and hope you do too.  I also sure hope my fellow messy ladies like them too!  Here are the links to the other somewhat messy crafters: Darlene, Jeanette and Terry. I am sure you will enjoy seeing how everyone got messy this month and was successful in making some great cards!   Be sure to check back to see what we are up in October!
