Welcome to the Mama Elephant February Stampede Blog Hop!
I stamped the images from the Carried Away Stamp Set on Bristol Smooth Cardstock using the Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and colored in the images with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The color combinations I used are shown below:
GIRL: 072, 071, 028, 200, 025, 021, 022, 902, 064, 062
BOY: 072, 071, 028, 021, 022, 902, 097, 062
Once the ink dried, I die cut the images with the coordinating Carried Away Dies. I added detail to the eyes with the Sakura Black Glaze Pen.
I die cut the frame and background from watercolor cardstock using the Madison Avenue Frame Die. I cut it twice. From one of the inside rectangles I die cut a cloud border using the cloudy Landscape Trio Die. I also die cut the frame from vellum and die cut another cloudy border. I applied Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks to the watercolor frame, background, and cloud border. I spritzed the pieces with water from a Distress Sprayer, let it sit for about 30 seconds and then blotted it dry with a paper towel.
To add to the love theme of the design I added stamped hearts from the Confetti Stamp Set using the Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks.
I die cut a frame from Fun Foam to give the frame a bit of dimension under the Distress Inked frame and then assembled the scene as shown. I stamped the "I Love You" greeting from the Labeled Messages Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and cut out the greeting and adhered it to the bottom edge of the card.
I finished the design by adhering some Pretty Pink Posh Iridescent Heart Confetti using Ranger Multi Medium.
