Another challenge from 365 Cards... Day #133: Imagine this: Bubbles! Today's challenge is to think of bubbles and how they might inspire your card.And here's what I came up with... a little Sprite Bubble Boy.
Stamps: Spunky Sprite Boys, Bears & Bubbles, Friendship Strips
Paper: Kraft & White UltraSmooth cardstocks, DCWV blue (retired)
Ink: Burnt Umber Palette, Champagne Dazzle VersaMark
Other: misc. button & twine, Scor-Pal, foam tape, Stardust Gel Pen, Copics
I scored a few lines with the Scor-Pal and then swiped the ink pad over to just graze them & a bit at the edges. This really brings the embossed lines out, and adds a little 'dirt' look to the card.The polka dots at the top of the card? I used an eraser-topped pencil... a little trick I learned at one of our Angel Gatherings outside Salina. And I am sad that you can't see the sparkle of the Dazzle VersaMark... it has such a nice subtle shimmer in real life.
What do you think?!

I think it's fabbie! I use that pencil trick with paint or white craft ink to make polka dots. If I can find a pencil that still has a perfect eraser in this house! We homeschool...you'd think I'd be drowning in pencils.... NOT!
Ok I think I'll have to break down and boy this set - it's too cute. And last night I just saw that saying on the Bears & Bubbles set and I LOVE IT!!!
Love the distressed look and the sparkly bubbles. Great card!
Super cute card! Love the colors and the dots in the background. TFS!
Love how you "made" your papers! The eraser technique works for other things, too--my sister used it for "berries" on a stenciled border "vine" on a wall! Great card!
I so love it! I love the distressed card base! That is so awesome!
