Hello Friends and Happy Thursday..or should I say Friday Eve? Today I'm sharing a standard, top folding A2 sized card created using the Keep It Real digital stamp and sentiment from Polkadot Orchard.
To start my design, I've used a panel of Alcohol Ink paper; paper that is specially designed to allow the ink to move when applied..similar to Yupo. Using Pinata Alcohol Inks, I.ve blended a background and set aside to dry.
The image has been printed, colored with alcohol markers, fussy cut and popped on craft foam for dimension; the sentiment has also been popped up. I've had the Recollections Flowers in my stash for about 5 years and happened across them while looking for embellishments. They have been adhered flat to the panel.
I invite you to stop by the Polkadot Orchard Shop for so many adorable, lovely and fun digi images. I especially like the way I've colored this image; I wanted a "cartoon-like" appearance and I achieved it by not blending the shades while coloring.
Thanks for stopping by, until next time - Happy Crafting!

AYLI - prefer cool colors because I look good wearing them. Autumn and those colors are my favorite time of year so it's a toss up. Depends on my mood really.
This card is fantastic! I love your coloring and the sentiment.
