This card was made for giggles a while ago and I'm just getting around to posting it. I have been meaning to do a watercolor paper one-layer card for the longest time and I finally made it happen. The image was stamped directly on it with StazOn ink and watercolored with reinkers and a blending pen. I am particularly happy with how her hair turned out. Red hair can be tricky, it sometimes comes out too orange, but I like how it turned out on this card.
I cut the right edge of the card shorter and added Calypso Coral polka dot Designer paper, then rounded the corners with the old corner rounder punch from SU! (which is bigger than the one we currently have, so I've kept both). A piece of Bermuda Bay was punched with the Scallop Edge punch and added to the top of the card, then a row of green sequins was added. Finally, the sentiment was stamped in Bermuda Bay on Barely Banana cardstock (remember that colour?), the end was snipped off and I added a pale green button.
I usually have a clear color combo when I start a project, but in this case, I started with the coloring without a clue what my color scheme was going to be and just grabbed reinkers as I went. Maybe I should be more impulsive more often, 'cos I really like the end result on this one.
