I decided to work with one of my beloved Sweet Pea Stamps. I haven’t been able to play with them in such a long time. And believe it or not, the image I used for today, I have never inked up before! Which is really terrible, because I adore this image. It’s called Aloha.

Isn’t this image beautiful? I loved coloring it. I used my watercolor markers and Copics. And, I stamped the image with StazOn. I have heard many times to never, ever use Copics with StazOn, but look, my friends! No bleeding! You just need to make sure that your ink is truly dry. Use a heat gun or wait a few hours.

I’ll need to color this sweet duo up again soon, as I’m sure that once my daughter spies this card, she’s going to want me to make one for her (she’s 3).

I used my usual eclectic mix of papers and embellishments. Plus a “Lucky” banner from Inkadinkado. I used some of my favorite embossing powder (Amazing Glaze by Judi Kins) around the edges of the card to give it a watery effect. I loved putting this card together. I was so happy to participate in this “Green” hop, being a tree hugger and all! 😉 

Thank you so much for joining us and helping us celebrate Nature! Your next stop is the talented and crafty
Enjoli.  Thank you so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
