My card for today uses MSTN Tweet on You. I decided I wanted to water color this image so I set out to mask a little scene. I’m using Ranger water color paper, I stamped with Versamark, masked with Stamping Mask Paper, and heat embossed with black detail embossing powder before watercoloring. I water colored using a small water brush and these inks: Berrylicious dye ink, Wild Cherry dye ink, Jellybean Green dye ink, Chocolate Brown dye ink, Blueberry dye ink, and Black Licorice dye ink. I notice the little birdhouse is a little crooked—just imagine it’s swaying with a gentle breeze ;-) Once I had it colored, I cut it out with a Stitched Traditional Tag STAX Die-namics, punched a hole in the top, and threaded some black twine through the hole.

My base card is Kraft card stock, followed by a Sweet Tooth card stock layer that was stamped with Wood Plank Background and Grout Gray dye ink, cut with Blueprints 24 Die-namics, and popped up on foam mounting tape. Next is a strip of Wild Cherry card stock and another strip of Sweet Tooth card stock stamped with Striped Backgrounds and Black Licorice dye ink. I popped the image tag up on foam, then stamped the sentiment from the set on Black Licorice card stock with Sweet Tooth pigment ink and heat embossed with clear detail embossing powder before popping it up as well. I finished off with some enamel dots.

On the INSIDE, I stamped another sentiment from the set.
