This ended up being my favorite card of the week!
Turquoise and orange is one of my fav color combos, but I
also had a lot of fun coloring in Newton and his little pal :)
I stamped onto the reverse side of a white textured cardstock with Staz-On ink.
I like to use Staz-On when working with watercolor pencils and blending brush
because it doesn't bleed. I colored in the design with Faber Castell Aquarelles
Next, I partially stamped Newton onto a small piece of clear acetate overlay with Staz-On
and then trimmed out around the goggles. I colored the rim of the goggles with
a red alcohol marker and attached over the stamped image with Zip-Dry glue.
I used a Tombow glue pen to attach the baker's twine around the die-cut.
Patterned papers and enamel dots are from Doodlebug Design.
This is definitely a card that will go into my "keeper" bin...I can't part with it!
