So many of my posts start this way...
This card was made for one of my co-workers. When I asked what she wanted on her birthday card this year she said "My husband and I are also kind of hippies haha😊 which might be a cute theme. Tie dye, peace and love, and nature would be wonderful!" I jumped on the hippy theme! I sort of forgot about the nature part...oops! LOL
I tried my hand at tie-dyeing my paper. I soaked the piece of paper, used my watercolor brush and ink and came up with what you see on both sheets of paper (not the green paper). I used two different embossing folders, I don't get a lot of opportunities to play with peace sign folder from The Paper Studio. The flower embossing folder is from Darice (no clue where I got this one). I used sharpies to color the van (except for the tires, they were water colored). I used embossing pens and white embossing powder for the VW emblem. The sentiment is from Cricut - I went in and found it, turned it into a print and cut, but did not use my Cricut to cut it. I used my new Bow-it-All 3 to make the fun bow. The VW stamp is from CTMH set called Let The Good Times Roll. The little flowers I have on the card, they are from Stamp'in Up.
Overall, I think she will like this...at least, I hope she does.
Glad you stopped by! I hope I've inspired you to try something new! 😘
