Wowzer! I just had a friend come by and purchase cards. She wiped out a lot of my stash so I will be spending a few days refreshing that. But first I needed a get well for a guy friend who had a hip replacement this week. And what guy doesn't appreciate the wonders of duck tape?!!
The background is one I learned from Technique Junkie newsletter. They have lots of fun coloring tips. Subscribe here. You line up coordinating color stamp pads. Use strips of blue painter's tape a couple of inches longer than the width of the card. Press the tape across the stamp pad then press down on the paper. In order from the bottom, I used Tim Holtz distress denim, SU tempting turquoise, SU pool party, and SU certainly celery. The sentiment is done on computer. The bandaid is a Lawn Fawn stamp but I have used real bandaids before. Then a strip of duck tape across the bottom. I had to split the tape so the colors would show.
I used this sketch from Freshly Mades Setches but turned it upside down.
This is also for Pals Paper Arts color challenge of certainly celery, bashful blue, and marina mist. I think my blues are pretty close to those colors.
