Hi there!
Welcome back! Did you miss me? What a whirlwind life has been for me lately! Working full time again, running boys to activities, friends retiring, friends visiting from out of town, plus stamping, and I held my first stamp class of the year - Not to mention new job training for MORE job opportunities. WHEW! I'm ready for vacation!
Well, hopefully I am figuring out a new balance. I did squeeze in this card for this week's fun Paper Craft Crew Color Challenge!
I know this SCREAMS Valentine, but I went in a slightly different direction! (Click on the image above, and you can see what else the other designers did)
I chose to use TWO of my fave things on this one - watercolor AND Blends!!!
I LOVE this happy little piggy! A few notes to help you recreate this card:
*To create the watercolor background, I used an Aquapainter to spread a little water on to my watercolor paper layer. Then I picked up some Rose Red and Berry Burst re-inker with the Aquapainter and added it to the wet area.
*The Piggy is colored with Pink Pirouette and Smoky Slate Blends. I also used Wink of Stella on her wings to make them sparkle!
*I cut the "celebrate" out of Smoky Slate and Basic Gray cardstock and layered them. Before layering, I used the cloud image from the stamp set to add a little interest. Can you believe that this is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item?!?!?
*The balloon's string is a combo of Black thread tied into a messy bow, and the Mini Sequin Trim
