Tuesday with Tara {take 129}
Wishing you an OTTERLY Merry Christmas! I fell in love with this cute mini set by Lawn Fawn and snatched it up… I had fun creating a set of these cute & simple cards featuring this little guy and matching sentiment. I kept things really simple, letting some rose gold metallic tags and washi tape add a fun metallic touch to my cards. It was hard to capture the shine in a picture, but it’s really pretty!
As you can see, I added some glitter glue to his little scarf as well… aw 🙂
My little otters were stamped on watercolor card stock and colored simply with watercolor pencils. All the blue on this card is Broken China Distress Oxide Ink- I stamped the sentiment with it, rubbed it on my craft sheet, misted and smooshed for the splashy background, and used a watercolor brush to paint his scarf. Luckily I had this ribbon that was also a perfect match and doesn’t overpower the pretty washi tape! I finished off the background with some little hearts (part of the stamp set) and bits of Nuvo Glitter Dots.
These were fun to make, and I’ll be duplicating this design if I need some more cards at the last minute (which is pretty much where we are with less than a week before Christmas is here!).
Inky hugs,
Tara
