Happy Tuesday!
Today’s card is a little something different for me, I’ve made it with my colorful take on “La Dolce Vita” by Aall & Create!
I stamped & colored the images on white card stock, using Distress Watercolor Pencil Crayons for some fun colors that would match the background I’d made previously (similar to the one I used on this card, except I added some Sparkle Texture Paste stenciled, this one is by Altenew, over it)
I cut my main image & a solid, pearly layer slightly larger from Hero Arts Pointed Arches Nesting Dies. Since it was straight at the bottom, I stamped some grass along the bottom edge. They are a fun change from the typical rectangles or circles I tend to default to using! I trimmed the birds loosely and added them with 3D foam squares, then finished the card using one of the sentiments I demonstrated the enamel technique with on my Facebook Live last week- love how shiny it is! Finally, I added a scattering of the spring floral mix-ups. They are super pretty and match so well with this card, I couldn’t resist!
Hope this bit of whimsy makes you smile!
Inky hugs,
Tara

Happy Tuesday!
If you joined me live on Facebook last week (or caught the replay) you would have seen me color up this Funky bee near the end of our time together. After all my watercolored bits were dry, I glued my layers together and added some Glossy Accents to his wings. Since the watercolor paper I was working on was a lighter weight, it gives it a somewhat translucent effect. It’s not what I intended… but it’s kinda perfect for wings!
I know it’s another grey card base, but I really thought the Silverleaf Willow by Prism Studio complemented the colors of my bee quite nicely. I cut a wide border at the crease side of my card with one of the Puffy Cloud Border dies by Lawn Fawn.
Behind the bee, I used some book print which I spritzed with some Distress Oxide Spray in Salvaged Patina. I then adhered that paper to white cardstock and attached it under the creased edge of my card. I stamped a sentiment from one of my older Tim Holtz stamp sets (CMS086 if you’re wondering) to finish it off.
I’ll show you how I did that fold and assembled the card during this week’s Facebook Live, but our finished card will feature the dragonfly I colored :). Hope to see you there!
Inky hugs,
Tara
