GIU Day 5--Last Day

 It's my last day for the Growing in Unity Week.  This week just flew by.  I hope you have enjoyed my cards as much as I did making them.  

Today I have another Slim line card.  It was inspired by my guy.  He is the best and he is my biggest fan and supporter (maybe even more than my mom! ) 😲  Shh don't tell her!

I did another watercolor card as I am having fun practicing my skills.  This time, I made my background with the Hit the Bricks background stamp.  Heat embossing clear embossing powder over Black Pigment ink.  I only stamped it part at the top and bottom as I knew the middle would be covered.

To color it, I sprayed the whole thing with a ton of water.  Then I added liquid water color to the top in random areas.  I used a red and brown color.  I sprayed it again with water to get the pigments moving and then twisted and turned it.  Then I smooshed it on my glass mat.  I used the left over to smoosh color on the bottom section.  After drying it with my heat tool, I did a bit more smooshing and then set it aside to dry completely.

For my image, I used Forrest Guy and after heat setting the same ink and embossing powder, I painted him in with Aqua Pigments.  Then I fussy cut him out.  Added a bit of the same red and brown to the edges.

I stamped my sentiment with White Pigment ink and covered with white embossing powder on a scrap of black paper. (I find I get a cleaner and bright white look using White ink with white embossing powder.)  Then once everything was dry I attached it all together.
