One of my favorites is Hustle. It is awesome because of all the fun sentiments. I particularly love "if you want a rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain".


To create this Caribbean pink and purple sunset-inspired postcard piece that's perfect for anybody's desktop, I used clear embossing powder to stamp the sentiment onto watercolor paper. I then created a background using distress markers using the ink to craft sheet, water and bead up the ink, before applying paper to the craft sheet. This is one of my favorite techniques currently.


To finish off the postcard piece, I added sequins, photo corners, a pattern background, and placed it into a frame.

Materials used: Mama Elephant HustleTim Holtz distress markers, Ranger super fine embossing powder, sequins
