Let me just start by saying that I LOVE this card - I love it so much that I would bake a cake from scratch for this card and watch while it ate it! I love it even though it has blue in it - go figure!
The colors of Fudge, Goldenrod and Teal are courtesy of the
Play Date Cafe - look how easy it is to make the colorful background -
Started with my
a muse|studio 2.25" square acrylic block and scribbled two colors of
Tombow Markers (443, 993) onto it and added a quick spritz of water.
Flip it over and stamp onto your watercolor paper - it can be a bit tricky - too little water and you get a spotty impression - too much water and you get a green puddle!
Used
French Roast ink on some of my favorite stamp sets -
amuse|studio Just Because and
Friend to Friend. Love the sentiments from the
friend to friend set - there are 6 different sentiments with that mix of script and print which is so fresh and popular now.
psst - wanna know a secret? a muse|studio is going to be releasing a supplemental catalog with new stuff including stamp sets, dies, cardstock/ink/ribbon, patterned paper, baker's twine and even felt!! This 44 page supplemental catalog won't be going live until August 22nd but if you are nice to me and ask pretty please I can e-mail you a .pdf file of it!! Just e-mail me at msmathey@gmail.com if you want to peek and start your wish list.
