Today I was playing around with my 2007-2008 "In Colors" from Stampin' Up! and came up with this color combination of Soft Sky, Blue Bayou and Certainly Celery.
I stamped the image from the Blooming with Love stamp set with Jet Black Staz On ink and then used my aqua painter to watercolor the image using Soft Sky, Blue Bayou and Certainly Celery inks. I squeeze the plastic on the top and bottom of the ink pad together to form a little smearing of ink on the lid of the ink pad. I then use my aqua painter to pick up the ink and watercolor the image.
The strip of Blue Bayou cardstock on the front has three brads on both sides from the Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware Collection. I used the paper piercing tool, the piercing guide and the mat from the Crafter's Tool Kit to poke the holes evenly on both sides of the strip of cardstock.
For the center piece of my card (my focal point), I used the ticket corner punch on both layers of cardstock to add a little more interest. The image is attached with dimensionals to make it pop off the page. In the bottom right corner, I stamped the word "Friend" from the Fundamental Phrases stamp set in Blue Bayou ink.
The patterned paper in the center is the Soft Sky Designer Prints paper. I have to say that this is my all time favorite paper. I just LOVE Soft Sky and will miss it terribly when it retires this July!
I hope you enjoyed today's card sample!
