Furever Friend Shaker Card

The card I have today is a very straight forward shaker card. It uses a Copic colored background. I first white heat embossed the geometric shapes then randomly colored them with W1, W3, E42, E43, and BG57. I also Copic colored the images and adhered them to the front of the shaker window. I hope you enjoy this rather simple card design.

Summer Camp Greetings

I'm sharing a watercolor card today featuring the summer night sky. I started out by wetting the entire piece of watercolor paper and used big brush (size 16mm) to apply paints. I was randomly dropping black and yellow paints and finished the card after three layers. The card watercolor piece didn't look good until I used toothbrush to splatter white acrylic paint onto the night sky. Also, I adhered the Copic colored images to cover up the ugly boundary between sky and ground. Lastly I heat embossed the sentiment and drew large stars with white gel pen.

Summer Water Fun

I'm sharing two water theme cards today that I made on separate days, but using the same stamp set. For both cards I colored everything with watercolor. In the first card, I used 3-4 different shades of blue in Daniel Smith to create the background. As you can see, the water texture from Daniel Smith watercolor was able to add some interest to the otherwise plain background.

The second card is a one-dimensional card. I stamped the monkeys and boat (single stamp) with grey ink, then colored the image using distress ink markers. Then I hand drew the background also using distress ink markers. I added some waves using white gel pen afterwards and finished the card by stamping the seagulls and sentiments. This is quite a bit of stretch for my limited watercolor skill.
