Bday card for a girl who loves the water
I made this card knowing how much this sweet girl loves the water. I used the sketch from Our Daily Bread Design's sketch challenge ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/odbdslc145-.... I had a premade black frame that I wanted to create into a picture frame look. So I watercoloured the background with gel water colour sticks, used some cool blue paper for the waves and then stamped the fish (Recollections) and coloured with Bic Mark It markers and added some stickles and glitter (since its for a a girl!). The banner was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, sentiment was from Totally Stampalicious and My Cute Stamps and finally I scattered some blue and aqua bling. I also used glossy accents on the number 8 to make it stand out. Both the frame and #8 are popped up to create dimension. I also created a thin black border by just drawing on the edges with a black marker (picked up this tip somewhere but I can't remember). I used black to frame the image and the card after being inspired by the challenge at tsgclearstamps.blogspot.com/ #197. I am submitting this card to the following challenges: ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/odbdslc145-..., flourishes.org/2013/03/timeless-tuesday-210-cards-with-ca... and tsgclearstamps.blogspot.com/2013/03/tsg197-black-cardstoc....
