You Color My World

Hi there, I hope you’re having a lovely day!

Today I’m sharing a cute chameleon from the new Chameleon Friends stamp set from Technique Tuesday.  He comes with a slithery pal but I thought he could have the spotlight for this card.

I started by stamping in Copic-friendly Hero Arts Intense Black ink onto Neenah Solar White 80# Classic Crest cardstock.  Then I got down to coloring.  I used B000, BG02, BG05, and BG07 for his blue stripes, and BG11, BG32, and BG34 for this green stripes.  For the leaves I used YG05 and G14, and for the branch I used E23 and E39.  I die cut him out, and used the die three more times on plain white cardstock.  I layered and adhered all four pieces together and set him aside.

On a 4bar-sized piece of Neenah, I used foam blending tools to blend Lucky Clover, Cracked Pistachio, and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks to suggest a leafy background and a blue sky.  Then I splattered the background with clean clear water which I let sit for a few seconds before picking it up with a clean paper towel.  I trimmed a quarter inch off the length and width and then adhered it to a 4bar card base.

I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and then adhered the chameleon onto the card to finish.

Thank you so much for visiting!
