Turtle Love


It has been great fun to try out techniques that Kathy shows in her videos for the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I took the idea of a "blushing animal" and creating shadows and created the above card. I'd like to say my thought process was a bit more complicated than that, but it really isn't! I think of relationships and love when someone, or something, blushes, so I knew I needed two images. And I wanted the someone/something to be fairly simple, as I haven't ever tried coloring shadows.


I stamped one cute turtle from Paper Smooches onto a white cardstock panel, then used that technique (what's it called, mirror imaging??) to stamp the other and colored them with PrismaColors. I then shaded the areas underneath them, stamped the heart and a mix of sentiments for a wedding card. This is all completely, truly, 100% one layer too!
