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!

This was worth the wait for me Leigh! Love that slide frame composition, and the combination of that one pink frame with that bright pop of yellow feather is swoon-worthy! Thanks so much for playing to find a Cure For The Monday Blues!
