This is for IC268 and Barbie Collector was our inspiration site. My inspiration was Couture Confection Bride. http://www.barbiecollector.com/node/1809 I loved all the soft colors and thought they would be perfect to use on a baby card.
I stamped the images on watercolor paper with versafine black and heat set. I always have a bit of a hard time trying to color in an open space around images like the sky background of this image. It seems my ink wants to run on into the images as well. I learned somewhere (I can't remember where I got this hint) that if you paint an area lightly with plain water and not allowingthe water to enter the image line that when you add color it will not run past where the orginal water line was. I used this technique here and it not only protected the images but also made the aqua sky color apply more evenly. I popped up additional bunnies and the box for the jack in the box and the adorable little duck pull toy. I thought this would look really pretty layered on pure white and it gave me the opportunity to use my new punch around set.

The colors really ARE perfect for a baby card! I love the pink bg and the scalloped lacy edge, Kittie!
