Happy 4th, everyone! I have a fun little card today using (again) You're Sublime and some fun colors from Can You Case It:
along with the sketch from Sunday Stamps:
And here we go!
I started out with some watercolor paper that is really crappy...but I hate to waste anything so, I am striving to make the best of it! SU's is really the best, I just wish in came in bigger pieces! Anyway, I stamped my submarine in Stazon and used an aquatpainter and inks in Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Cool Cucumber to color my image:
You can see how the image bled, even after drying it with a heat tool! I gave the fishies and the periscope a little highlight with my white gel pen and stamped some speckles with the current Paper Pumpkin set. I rounded the top edges with a corner punch, tore the bottom edge, added a banner sentiment and some baker's twine to finish it off. Oh, and I added some Candy Dots too! I mounted it all on a Bermuda Bay panel that was embossed with the Decorative Dots EF. It's corny but cute! Hope your day is wonderful!
Missin' this little funny face!
Love those colors and I don't think the bleeding takes anything from it, just makes it more watery and fun.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lorraine. It just makes it look more watery!
