A Storybook-like Card- a colorful world because of you!

2/28/2017

I always wanted to live in a tree house when I was little. Now my kids want to live in a tree house too. When my son saw the card and started to shout " that is the house I want". Lol so cute~^^

< Here are some of the behind the scene photo>

I used versafine black ink to stamp the image on white neenah cardstock. The fun part is to color the tree house any color I desired using distress ink and zig clear brush. Then I cut off some area on the upper right hand corner where I plan to add a colorful sky and sentiment there.

I created this background using Tim Holtz's new distress oxide ink. I probably layered it three or four time in total. The first layer is very light and transparent , but the more layers I add the more opaque it becomes. It is the color that I am looking for, subtle but rich in color and yet not overpowering. What a yummy color!

This critter is from Neat and Tangled My favorite nut stamp set. It is perfect for this tree house scene.

After I finished the coloring, assembled all the pieces and lastly added the sentiment to complete the card. Enjoy!

Supplies:
Neat and Tangled My Favorite Nut clear stamp

You are my Favorite! valentine card

This is a CAS valentine card. Quite simple and easy to make with coloring and minor cutting. The little critters from Neat and Tangled are so adorable, hard to pass it for valentine's day.

I used combination of Zig Kuretake clean color real brush and Tim Holtz distress marker to color them with waterbrush.

I wanted to add a heart die cut behind the critters and realized the top part of nutshell was blocking the heart. This was a simple fix, all I did was to take down the top and rested it on the side. Now I could see the heart. ^^

Finally I added the entire background with watercolor effect and stamped the sentiment 'you are my favorite' from the same stamp set to complete the card.
