Wishing You a Slice of Happiness

The Cute Fruit stamp set is a fun set to use for quick and simple cards - just stamps, ink, and paper. That's not today's card. I did some water-coloring, fussy cutting, and added a few fun details to create a card that I absolutely love!

I used the wide brush from the new Water Painters to create the striped background with Coastal Cabana ink. The trick was to use lots of water with the ink, and go back over each stripe until the desired shade was achieved. To create a "beachy" look, I pulled apart the edges of the white ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, and attached that as added texture in the background.

The card is finished off with gold thread from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack, and some Elegant Faceted Gems and Rhinestones. See below for a full list of supplies.
