I received the new July Store Kit from Whiff of Joy yesterday and had to whip up a card right away. I just love this image of Willow sunbathing (oh for a figure like that lol). I did the sentiments together with Katharina and love how she has combined the sentiments with cute little images.
I have used Basic Grey Sugar Rush papers (SO not my colours but love how they work so well with this image). The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and are: Cherry blossoms, aster daisies and I have also stamped and coloured up a few little starfish from the kit and added those in with the flowers. I chalked the sky using a cloud template – I think I prefer the soft chalk look (plus if I make a mess it’s easily rubbed out – not brave enough to go in with the inks lol)
I’ve added tiny little sparkly pearly things (from Papermania) to the little starfish and also on the corners of the card. The sentiment is also from the stamp kit.
I’ve coloured the image with Copics and have used:
Skin: E11, E001, E00, E000, R20
Hair: E25, E31, E50
Bather & Towel: R85, R83, R81, G21, G20
Sand: E31, E30, 0
Starfish: E07, E11
I’m entering this card is Charisma Cards challenge – which is PINK and Your Next Stamp Challenge which is Flower Power
Thanks so much for stopping by today,
Great card, pretty colours.
