To make the card, I use Nestabilities Labels 8 for the shape, stamped my image (the dancers are one image) with Memento ink, and colored everything with Copic markers. To give a hint of ground under the dancers, I brushed on some brown chalk. I don't think I normally would have added the strip with the saying, but I messed up and had to cover the mistake. :)

Couple of Challenges

For this card, I combined a Splitcoast VSN challenge (use watercolor and the color brown) with the layout challenge from Clean and Simple. Here is a picture of the sketch:

The images are some of the newer Impression Obsession clear stamps and I colored in the dog with watercolor crayons and a waterbrush. Definitely easy enough to do within the 45 minute time frame!

IO Friendship Card Challenge

For my card, I layered three of the latest Cover a Card stamps to create my background. Here is a breakdown of the steps:
First, I started with a pale blue notecard
Next, I added Cover a Card Distressed Denim (CC051) with Colorbox Chalk Ice Blue ink. This background is great to add subtle variations to your card.
To finish the background, I inked up Cover a Card Distressed Dots (CC046) with Colorbox Chalk Prussian Blue ink and stamped it onto a scrap piece of paper before stamping it onto my card (to get a lighter shade of the blue ink).

To add my flowers, I stamped the Silhouette 14 flower (E5564) onto my card with the Prussian Blue ink at full strength so that you could see it over the blue dots of the same color.

Finally, I added the friend saying (Ordinary Things D7519) with Prussian blue ink and edged it with a little more of the same ink.

Clean and Simple Challenge #90

I decided to get into the blogging game by participating in the latest challenge from the Clean and Simple blog. Here is a copy of the sketch:

For my card, I grabbed some of my Versafine inks and stamped some large and small flowers/designs by Impression Obsession and added a saying by Hero Arts. In place of the ribbon on the sketch, I added some kraft colored twine.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
