The Queen's Scene: You Octopi My Heart

It’s time for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge. We have the perfect colors to create all of those Valentines you’ll need for next week. Before I get to my card, I’d like to welcome this month’s CTD guest designer, Claire.

For my card, I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Octopi My Heart along with the coordinating Octopi My Heart dies. I started out with a white card base, then added a panel of hibiscus burst and a strip of smoky shadow cardstock then tied on a piece of red bakers twine. Next I cut a square piece of watercolor paper and watercolored using some red ladybug watercolor (it looks purple in the picture, don’t know why). After my watercoloring was dry I used my Misti tool to stamp my sentiment and bubbles. Then I stamped the heart and octopus images and colored them with Copic markers and adhered them onto my watercolored square, popping up the octopus with foam tape. I adhered my watercolored square onto a red die cut Stitched Mini Scallop Square and added it to my card with foam tape. For some detail, I added some Glossy Accents to the bubbles, some white gel pen and added some dots of silver glitter pen throughout the watercolored background.
