Hello! Sharing my card for the May Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge. I went CAS with this card. There seems to be a bunch of Birthday parties for my sons friends coming up. I often use the Birthday Animals set from Hero Arts for masculine cards.
This card was easy to make. I stamped the octopus and balloons on a piece of watercolor cardstock using waterproof ink. I like to use a stamp positioner to stamp solid images especially on cardstock with texture such as watercolor paper. By using the stamp positioner I can easily re-stamp the image if I don't get a good impression. I applied masking fluid to the eye of the octopus than painted a puddle of clean water over the image. I sprinkled on Colour Burst powder and tilted the cardstock to help the color move. The sentiment is heat embossed. I did dry embossing on the turquoise layer. Quick and easy card. I may make a couple more of these for last minute Birthday party invites my son recently received.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you share your work at Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge.

I just love everything about this card. Background is fabulous and the texture you have on the octopus just adds to it. Great colour combination. Perfect party card for any boy. Very clever layout.
