Relax

I'm back with another card. After seeing all of the lovely tropically themed stamps and dies of the Stamp of Approval collection that was launched last week, not to mention all the wonderful inspiration by the creative team, I decided to dig up all of my 'tropical' supplies, some of which I had not or hardly used before.


That's why I decided to use pinks for my 'splash' watercolour background (DOI in worn lipstick and picked raspberry). Before adhering my pink panel behind the die cut peek-a-boo window (MFT), I stamped the sentiment in Versafine blak using my MISTI. I coloured my flamingo die cut (PTI, Some like it hot) using grey and black copics and glued it on top of another die cut flamingo in black cs before adhering it to my panel. My panel was foam mounted onto my white card base.

I'm playing at:

CAS Mix Up - Stamping, coloured die cut + watercolour


CAS Watercolour - Splash watercolouring


SSS Wednesday - Use a die and/or punch
