This card was created for 2 challenges....Christine's watercolor and Michelle's masculine card. White this may not look very manly to you, my DH will love this card. He's been taking very good care of me while I'm in a cast and can't do much, and I wanted to make him a card to show how much I appreciate him. Ice Cream sure makes him happy and he loves red and green, so I went with it. DP is from a pack I bought at Target, the set is from Gina K's How Sweet it Is. I stamped it in Palette Noir onto some Fabriano watercolor paper and used my Aqua Painter and my ink pads to color. I'm not happy with my watercoloring (I never have been) but I attempted it. The sentiment was inked twice so I could line it up differently than it comes. I added 3 mini Ruby Red brads to the green panel and popped up the sentiment with some dimensional tape.
