A card for today's Think happy or in my case HIPPY thoughts limited supplies challenge. Thank you for a great challenge, I've had such a laugh looking in the gallery there are some absolutely hilarious cards, SCSers have such a great humour and I love it.
I chose the image and sentiment because they really make me laugh and also because they were stamped for me by my SCS pal Nicole (Butterfly Ears) which made me very happy! Thank you Nicole and thank you for also stamping the sentiments to go with these brilliant stamped images. You're great!!!
I used the wet watercolour technique to colour hippy. Basically just applied water from the brush within the image lines and then added the colour and spread it out. I cut the image out with a plain nestie and layered it on a piece of black card cut with the corresponding scallped rectangle. The sentiment was trimmed down and layered on the black. These were arranged over the background dp which is two pieces of Pink Petticoat big spots paper cut to half the depth of the card. I added a splash of bright pink a la CJ (Connie Joe9, you should look at her fab card SC186 - My 2nd challenge by Connie Jo9 at Splitcoaststampers, love that splash of vivid pink on a beautiful challenge card) with the bright pink ribbon to finish. TFL as always.
