This is for the CC305 to use Cherry Cobbler, Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink. I especially made the card for the Teapot Tuesday challenge to create something bright and cheerful to send to Katie. I really love the soft feminine look to this card and hope it brightens Katie's day.
I don't have Cherry Cobbler or Melon Mambo so I substituted with Riding Hood Red and Ranger Watermelon. I stamped the image on Prism white paper with versa and embossed with gold ep. I watercolored using a brush and reinkers and while it was still sort of wet I applied gold ep again and heated. The powder stuck to the wet places on the image and added more gold to highlight the beautiful flowers. The border was punched with a set of MS border and corner punches.
Stamps: Rubbernecker Tulips 168-05
Paper: Papertrey Berry Sorbet, Prism White
Ink: Ranger Watermelon, Red Riding Hood and Pretty In Pink, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss
Accessories: Brush, MS Corner and Border Punch, Versa, Gold EP, Grosgrain
