Card number three

For this card I used stamps and dies for the elements of the card. I used inks to color the background and then added embellishments with glitter pens. This is a very small card at three and a half by five. It's called a pop-up diorama card.

I'm not very good at coloring stamped images. I need a whole lot of practice. Or maybe it's just what I'm trying to color them with. If I use markers I have a hard time trying to shade things but if I use colored pencils it doesn't seem to work much better.

I like it because it is art, one of a kind. You know I love puns and this is a great one.

Try watercolor pencils. You color and then blend with a brush dipped in some water. It really helps to smooth out the color the way you like. Just test the water on a similar paper stock. Scrapbooking stock should tolerate the watercolor if you don't go too heavy with the water.

I love the pun, especially because I'm trying to remember to drink more water.
