The Dance




I've had this cute turtle stamp for awhile and I finally inked it!


 stamps: Sister Stamps Turtle Set, Seaside Stampin' Ink Dance of Life  dies: Papertrey Ink Geode Layers, Technique Bubbles on the Border  other: Tim Holtz Distress green inks/waterbrush/watercolor paper, Versamark Ink, gold embossing powder, scoring tool



The technique linked at

was fun and easy!

First I inked a single turtle with versamark and gold embossed the image.

Next I pressed a couple of green shades from Tim Holtz Distress Inks on to his watercolor paper and saturated it with a waterbrush.


I didn't let any of the watercolor pieces go to waste~I cut "bubbles" out with Technique Tuesday's Bubbles on the Border die.


The hardest part was setting it aside to dry.





The sketch at Just Add Ink #421

was perfect for focusing on this accurate sentiment.

 There's scoring on the sentiment panel for further highlighting.


 
Thanks for stopping by~
