Hi there! Today I have a card to share with you for the Mama Elephant & Me Challenge. This month's challenge is Watercoloring and Birthdays. I am loving watercolors lately, and I just got the adorable new Carnival Cupcakes and Carnival Toppers and couldn't wait to play along!
I wanted a soft pastel watercolor wash for behind my images, so I took some Distress Inks on an acrylic block and lots of water and brushed on light stripes of color and let them dry. Then I cut out the panel using the Femme Frames die set. I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the images, added some Wink of Stella pen and glossy accents to the cherry, and adhered it to my card base. This card is being mailed, so I had to keep it more flat than I normally like, but I think it turned out cute. I can't wait to play with these images some more! :)
That's it for now... thanks for stopping by! :)
Supplies:
Stamps: Mama Elephant Carnival Cupcakes, Carnival Toppers
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Ranger Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry, Dusty Concord
Paper: PTI White, Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper
Dies: Mama Elephant Femme Frames
Other: Copic Markers, White Gel Pen, Wink of Stella Clear Pen, Glossy Accents, Pop dots
