Today's card is for 2 challenges, Lee challenged us to use her favorite ice cream, Mint Chocolate Chip for the Potluck challenge on Stamp TV. My card is also for today's Featured Stamper, Christy S., congratulations Christy!!! This Serene Spring Swap Card by Christy S. at Splitcoaststampers is the card I chose to case, her layout was perfect for the Gina K image I wanted to use and what really caught my eye in her card was the water colored sky! I didn't watercolor mine, I sponged with Aqua Mist ink, it is really light but with the white paper you can still see it a bit! Other things I changed were the stamp set, colors, theme and I used a button instead of making a bow.
Thanks so much for looking!!!!
