This week I’m showing cards made with the adorable Darling Donkeys set. I’m also in a bit of a Very Vanilla phase in case any of you haven’t got the new Basic White replacement for the Whisper White.
Like Wednesday’s card this is also very simple to make and gives you some more watercoloring practice. As before, the donkey was stamped in Smoky Slate and then the Basic Grey watercolor pencil was used to lightly cover the body, and to emphasize all lines. The blender pen removed the pencil lines and moved a little of the color around. I then added a tiny bit of red lipstick using the Real Red watercolor pencil! The sentiment, also from Darling Donkeys was stamped in Blackberry Bliss and cut out, along with the donkey using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies. But you probably knew that if you’ve been following me for a while!
I stamped a very vanilla layer in more Blackberry Bliss and added a mat before putting it onto a Very Vanilla card base. The donkey’s circle was stuck to the card but the sentiment was popped up with dimensionals.
The final touch was this absolutely gorgeous Blackberry Bliss ribbon (154569, $7). If you order nothing else from this post, you absolutely need the ribbon!
