Wowza! I pulled out some oldies but goodies for this card!

I pulled out the long retired Too Cute Stamp Set and Card Word Puzzle Stamp Set for this card. Along with the retired Skylark and Surf’s Up Paper Packets! With all the new products that have been released I’m needing to use up my very large stash! I layered both of the B&T’s and then added a panel of Watercolor Paper. I used my new gelatos that I picked up at my local Michael’s to give the watercolor panel a blue tinted wash. The cute little bear is stamped in Archival Black Exclusive Ink™ <—YES, it’s back!! Along with Momento™ Tuxedo Black Ink for your alcohol marker coloring pleasure! I then used multiple ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Markers (Warm Grey, Bronze, Clay and Tender Pink) to color in that cute little bear. The umbrella was stamped in Versamark™ Ink and embossed using a golden hue embossing powder (no name on the jar so I’m unsure of the brand!) I then paper pieced all of those layers using Thin 3D Foam Tape. For final touches I machine stitched around the watercolor panel and added a few White Enamel Stars.

Thanks for stopping by today!

It’s Monday which means it is time for another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

For my card I started with a panel of Watercolor Paper. The focal point was created using washi tape and my Watercolor Paints to create the center rectangle. I then grabbed my Stitch Guide and added a stitched border around the rectangle. Instead of using a scallop shape, I grabbed September’s SOTM-Paper Garden and Black Exclusive Ink™. I then layered the Watercolor paper onto a piece of purple Basic Grey cardstock followed by a piece of Colonial White Cardstock. The diecut “Thanks” is from Mama Elephant and is cut twice in the same purple cardstock from Basic Grey and Black Cardstock. For final touches I added black sequins and Clear Sparkles. I added Bitty Sparkles to the center of the sequins and shaded them a dark hue by using my Black ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Marker.
