Hi TAWS friends!! I'm here today with a treat filled card to share! I'm using this month's awesome set called
Slurp! I've also used this month's 'free with $40 in product purchase' set called
Brain Freeze for my sentiment. Lastly, I pulled out one of my favorite older Alley Way sets called
Line Upon Line for my background. This is a FANTASTICALLY versatile background set that is perfect for so many techniques.
I started by pre-coloring my ice cream image on water color paper. I do this in advance so that when I have a moment to create the images are ready when I need them. I colored the image with my Kurtake Gansai Tambi Watercolor paints. I fussy cut my image out and added a very generous coating of Glossy Accents onto the ice cream. I set it to dry overnight.
I stamped my background onto watercolor paper to give it that splotchy look. I used Hero Arts ink in Butter Bar as I wanted it to be a very summery yellow. Lastly I stamped my sentiment. I used my very favorite glitter cardstock from Michael's as a matte for my panel. Sometimes I'll cut small strips and adhere them to either side of the panel but this time I used a full piece as it lends itself to a different look.
I added both of these layers to a card base using kraft cardstock. It's simple and fun!
Thanks for coming by today!
See you soon!
Crafty Hugs!
