Today's card serves a couple of purposes. First, I wanted to play along with the latest Tuesday Trigger over on the Moxie Fab blog. I just loved the flowers and colors in the picture. Here is the inspiration photo:
Second, I wanted to make a birthday card for my friend Hare. Even though her favorite color is red, I thought she might like this color combo too. If you squint REALLY hard, you might be able to see a faint wood grain on the kraft cardstock. I used a really light blue ink, which looked pretty good when I stamped it. Then I watched as the pattern slowly disappeared as it dried. Oh well! I think using a light color of ink only really works if you stamp on white or stamp tone on tone. Live and learn...
I took a close-up of the flowers to show you that I watercolored the petals with watercolor crayons and a waterbrush then added some Distress Stickles for sparkle and Glossy Accents to make the cup look like porcelain.
When I got home today, I saw that my photos from Snapfish arrived. I have plans to make some photo cards, so I will let you know how they turn out.
