Dear Friend,

Welcome to Lost Art Cards and Designs.

You might find tiny bouquets on paper, pretty places, words of encouragement, the artwork of others, or a quote from a good book.

My hope is that you will find something that delights the eye of your heart and remains a part of you for a lifetime.

One facet of the creativity in my soul.

Misted Roses



Misted roses in woven basket on tracing paper misted with water. Really pleased with the effect the distress ink and water had on tracing paper.  

Stamped with a variety of Rose Peg Stamps and Ranger Distress Ink Pads and Markers on tracing paper gave an antiqued look and feel to this card. The sound this paper makes after adding distress ink and water takes you to an imaginary place...

To make this card, experiment with Distress Markers, Distress Ink Pads, or Distress Crayons by applying color to the tracing paper.  Then mist with water and crinkle the page until you get the distressed effect of lines and wrinkles that make it look like the paper has been aged.  While still wet, smoosh the colors together to blend.  You can blot any excess with a paper towel, or dry with a heat gun.

I stamped the IO gathering basket while the paper was still wet.  I liked the watery effect it gave the image.  Then, I dried the whole sheet before stamping with all three Rose sets.  

Supplies:

Water Mister
Coordinating paper cardstock

This looks so elegant - it could be a vintage painting - so pretty.
