Band Birthday
Hello there! Clare here today, with a party night scene!
For todays card, I started out by blending a background on watercolor cardstock using Chipped Sapphire, and then die cutting it with the My Favorite Things Stars in the Sky background die. Just make sure you clean the die after die cutting a freshly inked piece of cardstock, otherwise some ink will remain on the die and transfer over to the next paper you cut with it – ask me how I know. 😉
I backed it up with some glittery cardstock, freehand cut some hills, and then heat embossed a sentiment from Avery Elle’s Band Camp, the star of today’s show.
Now, onto those crazy critters. Honestly, when I color, I don’t usually keep track of what specific pen colors I used, because I usually do a lot of blending, and there’s so many different ways to get the same shading, with just different pen colors or different amounts of color layering. But, the overall gist of coloring for these guys goes as such: alligator (Olive Green and Pale Green), turtle (Mid Green and Pale Green), owl (Light Gray and Gray Brown), hats (Deep Blue and Blue) and instruments (Yellow).
I die cut those suckers out, adhered them to the card base, and finished the card off with some Glossy Accents on the instruments.
Thanks so much for stopping in and God bless!
