Several months ago I bought a roll of texture wallpaper at a thrift store. I happened to find a roll with panels which are almost the perfect size for a standard 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 card. I was going to color it with watercolor paint until I bought myself gelatos. I'm having so much fun using them along with the Inka Gold that I found in a clearance aisle.Reminder to self don't forget to check out the clearance aisles.
And here is my card
I used Inka Gold for the outside trim of the panel. Where the blue is I wet a brush and wiped it over the gelato stick and then brushed it on. The green was scribbled on and the blended with my finger. Using a wallpaper panel like this makes for a quick card.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving comments. I am off to finish packing craft supplies for a play date with my sister. I'm so excited. Wishing you Happy Frugal Crafting till we meet again!
How fortunate to have found a perfect match. Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteAt one time I looked for the wallpaper but the pattern was miles too big so of course now I had forgotten about this technique.

Great card
ReplyDeleteI can never pass on a visit to our local DIY. I managed to get some ' samples' of a patchwork paper the other week, so pretty and it chopped up into lots of card sized pieces. I embossed all the smaller pieces.
Lovely idea to use the wallpaper. I hope you and your sister had fun!
