I'M HERE FOR YOU (3)

I'm on the Lawn Fawn blog today with the sweet friendship card. I used the Happy Hugs stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

For the background I die cut a piece of watercolor cardstock with the Outside In Stitched Square Stackables and ink blended it with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I used a cloud stencil and Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide Ink to add clouds to the background.

I used the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors silver watercolor and splattered it onto the background.

I die cut the Full Moon die and ink blended the edges with Jellyfish Ink.

I stamped the images and colored everything with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:

Squirrels: E31 - E33 - E35/ E41 - E43 - E44

Branch: E57 - E79/ G82 - G85

Heart: R32 - R35 - R39

I stamped the sentiment inside the speech bubble. I assembled the card, matted it onto a piece of Gotta Have Gingham paper and added highlights to the images with a white gel pen.
