Cure for the Monday Blues #11

*Note: if you're interested in seeing what stamps & dies

Today, I have a card to share that I made for
Taheerah's Cure for the Monday Blues Challenge #11:


I was inspired by the bold, bright colours, the frames and 
the white lettering on the blue background.
Here's my card:


I used all Papertrey Ink products.
I started with a Hawaiian Shores card stock base, which I stamped repeatedly with the Slide Frame die in Hawaiian Shores ink.
I diecut a Slide Frame from Hibiscus Burst card stock and then stamped it with the same colour ink.
I stamped my Wet Paint sentiments in versa mark and heat embossed it in white.
I diecut a Feather Finery die from white carddstock.
To "ink" up my stamp, I painted some yellow watercolour paint onto my stamp and then stamped it onto the die cut. I added a little red to the yellow and stamped it a second time.
Then, I added a little more red and stamped the dots.
A button & twine finishes it off.

I'm linking this card up to
this week's Make It Monday at PTI: stamping with watercolour mediums.

Thanks for looking!
