Krafty Chicks Challenge #613: All Occasions

  Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Welcome to another great challenge week from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. All Occasions is the theme, so pretty much anything goes. Here's my card:

I am very pleased at how this card turned out. Took me a few tries though to get the look I wanted. Tip: any time you are stamping a background image, use your Stamparatus. I needed to stamp this floral three times before I got all the image perfectly stamped. I first stamped it on Basic White card stock but then I messed up watercolouring the blue and it was quite difficult to see the outline of the image. Once I stamped it on Pool Party though, I could see the outline perfectly and I didn't need to fuss with the white space.

Here's a close up. All I did was messily colour my florals, letting it dry a bit and adding a second layer in the shadow areas to darken the colour. Quick and fun to colour!
