This fun card uses elements that are my two favorite things to play with ... die cutting and water colouring,
Because I have been doing quite a lot of water colouring lately I thought I would show you a card each Wednesday
I have also been buying lots of stamps and matching die sets that produce the sweetest of cards very easily
The featured set here is from Clearly Besotted and it is called Make A Splash!.
There are four dolphins for you to colour and I have used the Gansai Tambi water colours for mine and cut them out with the dies
I layered the panels up with foam pads to give the height.
This side view shows you how the layers are raised up from the card and I cut the wave effect with my border dies ... yet another way to use a border !!
I think this is a lovely card to give to a child and if you added in a birthday sentiment it would be spot on.
More tomorrow ...

ReplyDeleteOn another note, I just wanted to share my condolences on the world's loss of Dear Professor Snape - Sir Alan Rickman. He was a brilliant actor with a very distinct style, I just loved. He will be VERY much missed.
Morning, Christina,
ReplyDeleteGuess what has just gone on my wish list?! What a great stamp and die set and a great price for the two as well. I think I can have a LOT of fun with this set and not just for children's cards :). I love the way you've painted in the sea, what great waves you've managed to make with your border die...note to self, get some more borders :)

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable card! I was surprised when I clicked on the "border dies" link and saw the dies you used for your waves. You are always creative and this card shows that. Awesome use of watercolors too!
