Good morning, guys!  Today I’ve got a couple of cards to share that I made for Basically Bare using some of their goodies along with plenty of  Art Anthology paint and spray.  Lets dive right on into the cards, shall we?

First up is this “Timeless” card that features a Dress Me Up Dress Form.  I painted the dress form with Art Anthology Sorbet paints (Satin Sheen Gold for the dress and Trolley Grey for the post and stand), which are dimensional and glimmery.  I kind of smunched my brush around in it to give some texture.

Once the Sorbet paint was dry, I added a thin coat of Art Anthology Velvet paint in Mayan Gold over the top of the dress.  The Velvet paint has a much more matte finish, but still allowed some of the glimmer to come through from the Sorbet paint beneath.

To finish up, I added a few stripes of Stickles in the corrugated grooves of the card background for just a little more shine, and a few ribbons.

Now, on to the second card!

I used a Bare Basics Heart for this card.  It has three layers of Art Anthology goodness which combined to match the background paper color fairly closely.

I started with Art Anthology Colorations spray in Lark as a base coat.  I then added Sorbet paint in Lagoon, which is a little bit more teal than the background.  To tone down the teal, I added a final coat of Sorbet paint in Splashed once the other layers were dry.

Like the first card, this one has some Stickles in the grooves to make it shine a little more.

The black ribbon and rhinestone trim are the finishing touches on this one.

Thanks so much for stopping by and having a look!
