A few weeks ago, I posted a clean and simple version of a card that I made using the May Stamp of the Month, To My Bestie. There are some very cute images on the set, so I decided to do another version that is at the other end of the spectrum, i.e., a bit more on the "messy" side a la a card inspired by coloring rock star, Kelly Latevola. 😊
First I stamped the images of the women and the balloons onto a piece of watercolor paper using black ink. Next I taped it down and used a wet paintbrush to cover the paper with clean water. Using watercolor paints, I dropped the paint onto the paper using targeted areas for the various colors. I then dried the paper using my heat tool, so that the paper looked like this when it was done:
Next, I used alcohol markers to color all the images and added a final spatter of paint over the whole thing. After re-drying, I removed the panel and attached it to a card base that I cut from Black Cardstock. I added a few sequins and stars from the silver sequin pack. And like Miss Kelly, I added some shimmer brush and went over the images with a fine tip black marker. Finally I stamped the "it's your day" sentiment on a piece of Black Cardstock using VersaMark ink and embossed it in Ranger White Embossing Powder, then attached it to the card base using Thin Foam Tape.
