Though black and white were free for this challenge I decided to use them as my neutrals.
On water color paper I scribbled a bunch of blue Lyra water color crayons and then smeared them with water and a water color brush.
I can’t wait for natural drying so I heat tooled it!
Next I die cut the paper with Tim Holtz’s “Umbrella Man” die.
I like the steel dies to cut the water color paper as I get a cleaner cut.
Now to start layering...blue card stock base card with a black layer.
Next the white card stock layer run through the BigKick with Parklane “Clouds” embossing folder.
On that folder I glue the umbrella man and then stamp the verse from Just Rite stamps “Fancy Tags” with StazOn jet black ink.
Love how you coloured your paper for the die cut on this stunning card Arlene - I must get my crayons out again - you have inspired me!
