Sending paper hugs

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges with this card today.

I smooched distress oxide and distress ink onto watercolor paper using a piece of acetate to create this dreamy background.  The white heat embossed script stamp is an old one from My Favorite Things.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee stamps. 

I splattered some black paint before adding the dragonfly die cuts and their blue vellum shadows. Lastly, I added some dewdrops, which are hard to see unless you enlarge the photo. 

This card is for the following challenges:

Designer Choice Challenge - Hello

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is a Designer Choice Challenge and it's my turn. I would like you to use the following photo as your jumping off point to create a card.  Hope it inspires you.

I used speckled egg distress oxide ink on the top of the card. I applied it direct to paper to match the door on the photo. I liked the ghost of the wreath on the door and added that. I created a bit of shiplap on the bottom of my card using a barn wood planks die from Honey Bee stamps. Martha Stewart punch used for the little flowers and the wreath.  Hello and the keys are stamps from Repeat Impressions. 

The butterfly charm is covering up a "goof" that occurred when I was finishing off this card. Oil from my fingers or some such thing left a darker blob. Instead of starting over, I just covered it up. And yes, those are brads that I used across the top of the shiplap. Had to dig deep into my stash for those. LOL.

Hydrangea's

Hello - What is this, my third post today? Wow, the mojo was flowing today. LOL =) I'm now playing in the Twofer challenge with the code word of Flowers. 

Mondo Hydrangea is from Ellen Hutson. I stamped it in versamark ink and heat embossed it using detail white embossing powder from Ranger. Then I spritzed them both heavily with water and dipped a paint brush into blue watercolor and let it run. Layered both of these onto navy blue cardstock.

Once dried, I added the sentiments and the flower centers using fabrika decoru drops.  Sympathy sentiment is from Honey Bee and the birthday one is from Simon Says Stamp.
