As you can see there's some fabulous inspiration to work with in the photos above! I used the starry night theme, along with taking inspiration from the colors and streamers and celebratory feeling in the first photo, and came up with this card.
First I embossed the stars (Winnie & Walter) on a piece of watercolor paper, then added some Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor over top. The lanterns (which I wanted to make look like they were floating in the sky) are from the Winnie & Walter's stamp set The Party. I embossed those in white, then colored with a red Zig Clean Watercolor pen. The tassels were embossed in white and simply colored with my Wink of Stella glitter pen. The sentiment was cut with a PTI die. I added Pretty Pink Posh sequins in clear and gold to finish my card.
This was a fun card to make, hope it tickles :)
pretty card!
ReplyDeleteLove this fun design! It looks fabulous with the patriotic colors and that wonderful watercolored background! I have W&W's The Party and you have reminded me I still haven't tried out the lanterns!
