Thanks for Being You Rainbow Birds ~ HSS485, FF0206, JAI782

Hello friends!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #485.  I'm throwing it back to this wonderful stamp set called Free As A Bird.  I thought the long branch with the birds on it would work nicely with the sketch.  I'm also playing along with Just Add Ink #782 and I chose to use Twine & Rhinestones (gems).  I also grabbed some inspiration from Festive Friday's National Unicorn Day challenge #206.  I used bright colors, watercolor, and sparkle gems.  

For the watercolor, I used the no-line watercolor technique.  I painted with my aqua-painter and a plethora ink pads in colors of the rainbow.  Because all the color is concentrated in the center of the card, I added a bit of texture to the white background using my Tasteful Textiles EF for extra interest.

I also used my dark Cloud Cover Blend Marker to splatter some subtle specks on the main panel.

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Free As A Bird

Ink: Pecan Pie, Smokey Slate, Basic Beige, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Azure Afternoon, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, and Pool Party; Dark Cloud Cover blends

Paper: Shimmer White and White cardstock

Accessories: Stitched Sentiments die, Tinsel Gems in Lemon Lolly, and white twine

 Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Consume Cocktails 21st Birthday ~ CI202, CTC555

Hello friends! Today's card is a custom order I fulfilled for someone's special birthday.  I knew I could use the colors from Colour Inkspiration and make some super fun cocktails using a favorite of mine, {Cheers and Sips}. I also used {Love You More Than} for the sentiments to complete the cocktail theme.  I also used Casing the Catty's case a template Challenge. I loosely cased the scrapbook page layout, circled below, transforming it into card form. I played off the circles by using my dots Basics EF. 

I used blending brushes to achieve the color in the cocktail glasses.
