Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing a card I made for a sweet friend that is not well. I'm hoping these adorable hippos will make her smile. :)
This stamp set is called Rainy Day Play (Clearly Besotted). This is the first time using the set, so I'm sending this card over to NBUS (never-before-used-schtuff) Challenge #36.
I stamped the images in black ink and heat embossed in clear before watercolouring with distress inks. I added some soft stenciling of stripes in the background (to look like it's raining), brushed them with a wet brush to soften and added some lines of white overtop using my Posca pen. I used the same pen to add polka-dots to the umbrella. :)
