FMS #289 - A Sara Thing (Paper Pumpkin)

Happy Memorial Day!!  It is a glorious day in North Texas to reflect on the service members that were willing and remain willing to sacrifice themselves for the safety and security of others. 

Thank-you!!

Today I am playing with the latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge #289.  Once I saw the sketch I knew I had to pull out my April Paper Pumpkin kit, A Sara Thing.  Here is what I came up with today.  This is another color wash card similar to my last post,  this time I used Stampin Up Watercolor Pencils and a wet brush. With the exception of a few embellishments everything I needed to create this card was included in the Paper Pumpkin kit.  How cool is that?

Card Measurements

 

Basic Black base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Whisper White layer 5 1/4 x 4

DSP and Watercolor layer 3 x 3

TIP: To add subtle splashes of color to my water colored background I dipped the brush in water and then added pigment directly from watercolor pencil to brush.  Then I flicked the bristles with my finger to achieve the desired look.  Here is a close up photo.
