Because you are my Sister

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a great weekend!

I got to have a little stamping time which has been hard to find lately so it was a good weekend for me.

I made this fun Easel card with one of the adorable House Mouse Designs, Painting Pals from Stampendous.

I used the Spectrum Aqua Markers from Crafters Companion to color the image.

To create this card I started with an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" purple panel of cardstock and I scored it at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".

I dry embossed a purple and a green panel of Core'dinations cardstock with a Darice embossing folder and sanded the panel to make the flowers stand out.

I backed the two embossed panels with slightly larger purple panels and then adhered them to the card.

On the inside of the card I created a sentiment panel and adhered it to the lower inside portion of the card with 3D foam so it is raised a little bit.

This is how it looked at this point when folded on the score lines.

I stamped my image on Watercolor paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then used the Spectrum Aqua Markers to color it.  It's the first time I've used these markers.  I need a little more practice but I really like the watercolor look!

I cut the image out leaving the paint brushes "out of the box".

I backed the image with cardstock and adhered it to the green portion of the card.

This is how it looks when it's folded up on display at this point.

Then I added the sentiment to the front panel.

Both sentiments are from the Sisters Perfectly clear stamps from Stampendous.
