Gotta Wear Shades

I couldn't help myself I saw the neon and went for it!! Today I'm using Craftin Desert Diva's stamp set called Gotta Wear Shades. It has these adorable bears hanging out in the sun and the cutest sentiments! So I start this card by cutting a piece of Canson XL watercolor paper using my Fancy Frames die the biggest in the set. I then use Distress inks in Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade to watercolor my background. I put this aside to dry and stamp my image using Ranger Jet Black ink. I then watercolor my images using Stabilo Pens and a small brush. Once this is finished I fussy cut the image which I didn't realize but Craftin Desert Diva's sells the SVG for this and I would recommend if you have a cutting machine. (I did go and buy it after this project!) 

So I checked my base panel to make sure it was dry and stamped the Wishing you from the Wishful Thoughts stamp set and A splashing good time from Gotta Wear Shades. Added foam tape to the back of my image and placed that down and finished this off with some black dots using a jelly roll pen and sequins from a few different CDD mixes! I hope this brightens your day!! Happy Craftin!
