Dream Big Ellie


     I have another Art Impressions Zoo Babies stamp to share with you today.  This one is called "Dream Big" and I pulled out my Distress inks and watercolor paper for a little variety.  I made a bit of a duh boo boo on this card.  You haven't been able to see it in any of my Zoo Baby cards, but I gave each of their bows a nice coat of Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen.  I wasn't thinking about the wet pen diluting my Distress ink. So... my shading on the bow kind of went everywhere.  LOL  Isn't this the sweetest little ellie you ever saw.
     It's a brand new week and I hope it's a wonderful one for you.
     Be Blessed!

Supplies:
Paper--My Mind's Eye "Lost and Found--Portabello Road", Recollections, Georgia Pacific, Strathmore 14 lb. coldpress watercolor paper
Stamps--Art Impressions "Zoo Babies--Dream Big set"
Ink--Stazon Jet Black, Pumice Stone, Worn Lipstick, and Stormy Sky Distress inks
Tools--Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Borders #1, Impression Obsession butterfly dies, MFT Die-namics Sentiment Strips, Cheery Lynn Designs French Pastry doily die
Miscellaneous--sequins from my stash, Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen

Tracy, this really catches my eye as I have been wanting to incorporate a lacy doily on my work but haven't found a way yet. Very very nice coloring on here too.

I love it when the finishing touches bleed all over the card! In this case, it added texture and depth perfectly, so it's definitely a win win.
