FMS Final 269-001

 

I'm still trying to catch up on the birthday cards and this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches inspired me to keep it quick & simple.  Since I still had the Carousel Birthday stamp set on my desk, it was an easy choice to decide what to use.

I started by stamping the carousel horse image and sentiment in Basic Black archival ink onto Very Vanilla card stock.  To add some color to the horse, I scribbled some watercolor pencils in Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, and Calypso Coral over the image.  Next, I used a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to blend the color and soften the lines.  This gave the image a watercolor look and a tiny bit of shimmer.

 I completed the card by adding the Bermuda Bay-stamped "birthday" over the sentiment, some Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper along the edge, and a few embellishments (ribbon & paper bow) from the coordinating embellishment kit.

You'll find the complete list of supplies below.

Thanks for stopping by!
