I've been having lots of messy fun with the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges at SCS this weekend.
For this card, I stamped the Newspaper Skyline from Hero Arts in India Ink and then clear embossed. I sprayed on 4 different ink sprays to get a shimmery sunset effect to my image. Next I stamped my sentiment from Hero Arts Yay!
I attached my image to black cardstock & then wrapped with some Lawn Trimmings Orange Cord. The final step was to attach it to an Ivory Card base with foam tape for dimension. This card is for the Encouragement Theme at A2Z Scrapbooking.
Next I stamped the Hero Arts DesignBlock Birthday in India Ink and Clear Embossed. I then colored with Watercolor Crayons using the colors from this week's Brown Sugar Challenge.
I used a paintbrush and water to soften and blend my colors, and then gave the card a few sprays of Bronze Gimmer Mist for subtle sparkle. This card is for AAA Cards: Play with Watercolor.
I'm also joining the One Layer Challenge at Hero Arts.

Love the water colored birthday card — great use of the colors – Thanks for joining in with AAA!
Two really amazing cards, Stef! I love how you played with your sprays to achieve the beautiful sky behind your skyline card, and how perfectly the sentiment works with the rainbow of colors on the 2nd one!
