This is for Mary’s Color Challenge with optional dessert to use a masculine theme. I thought these cute Peanuts characters would make a fun card for a guy. Snoopy is excited to receive happy mail. Charlie Brown has different clothes than usually with these colors, but he’s still saying “Good Grief”. I only have markers for In Colors. To watercolor on the heat embossed images, I swiped the markers on an acrylic sheet and picked up the ink from there with a blender pen or aqua brush. Works just like using the ink pad lid. I hope you will give these colors a try. TFL

Who doesn't love Peanuts characters? This is so cute, Charlie Brown's sentiment made me chuckle. The chevron embossed background ties in wonderfully with Charlie's shirt. Great card!

Love Peanuts - when I was in high school, my dog was named Snoopy (lived up to her name, too, LOL!)! Love the background and the technique you used to color the images!
