\n<\/a>\"Baby
\n<\/a><\/strong>The idea for my baby card came from some paint chips I had in my stash. I thought the colors would be perfect for a baby girl card. With the colors in hand, I picked out the closest colors of Copic markers & refills & loaded a mini mister w\/ isopropyl alcohol & spritzed a plain white panel w\/ it. No need to use your Copic blender refill for this when the alcohol will do the same basic job at much less cost. With the paper wet, I dropped the blender colors here & there & let the colors spread, spritzing w\/ more alcohol when needed. When the colors looked like I wanted, I dropped a few droplets of alcohol to make the paler circles. When it dried, I die cut it, put it in my Misti, stamped w\/ Memento, added just a touch more color to the image, then over stamped w\/ Versafine. I used a white gel pen to go over the eggs. The Congratulations was die cut out of another paint chip & I shortened it by\u00a0snipping off part of the word &\u00a0repositioning the curlicue tail of the G.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used. I also used the exact same colors of refills for the background.<\/span>

\n<\/a>This card is continuing the Serendipity Challenge Theme<\/strong><\/span> this month of circles\/dots. To make this card, I started by making a watercolor background w\/ a series of washes for the ground, sky & hillside in the back right.When dry, I die cut it, placed it my Misti & stamped the barn scene w\/ Memento.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Old
\n<\/a>Since the colors for the barn would be darker, I just added some detail watercolor on top of the barn. It turned out to be a little darker than I wanted, so I stamped the barn roof & front again on a separate piece of watercolor paper, used Brushos on the roof (to get the rusty look), painted the front, then paper pieced them on top of the original. Then I die cut w\/ a pierced circle, added the white circle & put them back on top for a sort of spotlight look. A narrow white frame & the die cut Hello were attached on top.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her’s a look at the inside. The narrow strips were about all I had left from the piece so I stamped the barn scene using the lilac distress ink then added the greeting.<\/span>
