Hello Ai Fans!
Today I have a fun summery card that's just perfect to send to a friend for any occasion!
I used the Girlfriends Stayin' Afloat set and a sentiment from the WC Sentiment Set 2. I stamped the image onto watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black in and heat embossed it with clear powder. I used watercolor markers (listed below) to color everything. Sometimes I added the marker direct to the paper and pulled the color out with a damp brush. Other times I scribbled the marker onto my glass mat and dipped my brush into it. For the white dots on the pink float I used some white gouache. I like it because it's totally opaque. I put a tiny dab onto my mat and mixed in just a bit of water. To get the nice round dots I dipped the end of a rounded stylus into the gouache and touched it to the paper.
After I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Onyx black ink, I heat embossed it twice with clear embossing powder (the first photo really shows the shine and dimension). Then I cut it out with the small tag die from the Tag Stitched Dies set. I used the same die to cut tags from the pink and striped papers. I adhered all three tags together and used some twine from my stash to add a bow.
The pink cardstock is adhered to the card base and the image with the striped edge is popped up on foam tape. I used some thin 3D foam squares for the tag.
This card really has me ready for warm weather, sunshine and fun! Have a wonderful and crafty week!
