The Two Sheet Wonder, pt 4

Finishing the Two Sheet Wonder

And finally the last 3 cards!  Can you believe I'm on cards 13-15?!?  If you're new to my blog - check out how I started my Two Sheet Wonder.

Card set #4 - Two Sheet Wonder

For card #14 I took the opportunity to finally put that watercolor paper to use.  I've done watercolor before, but not on cards.  These are some of the pieces I completed back in July 2017.

 .  

Watercolor can be a lot of fun, so I was excited to use it on my current card.  I had never tried to complete it with a water brush and ink, so it was a little different from my previous work.  I really enjoyed putting the two together.

For the layout, I chose to use a sketch with some fun angles.  I chose one with a large center area so I would have a large enough area for the stamp I had chosen.  I flipped and rotated the sketch for the card.

I love this retired set, From the Herd, from Stampin' Up.  I spent part of my youth living on a farm and truly enjoyed hanging out with the animals and seeing their personalities.  We raised goats for a while and I would play hide-n-go-seek with them in the tall grass.  This stamp totally gives each of the animals' personalities too.  Can't you just see them playing birthday party games?  😂

Card #13, Two Sheet Wonder - "Just for you from the herd"

Card #14 uses mostly lines in different ways to counter each other.  I love the varying angles of the stripes.  The angles pull you into the birthday sentiment.  I stamped "Birthday Wishes" from Sincere Salutations (Stampin' Up) then used their Everyday Label Punch and added a mat in grey cardstock.  Overall the card is fairly simple and to the point and I can easily use it for a masculine birthday.

Card #14, Two Sheet Wonder - "Birthday Wishes"

And finally, my last and final card from this project for a total of 15 cards.  Card #15 uses the adorable Party Pandas stamp set from Stampin' Up.  Pandas always remind me of AOII and this is a fantastic, fun set.  I created the circle background with Simple Shapes from Stampin' Up by inking the stamp and then spraying it with water to create a varying tone.  I cut the balloon from a sheet of silver glitter paper and added some bling as the bottom of the balloon and throughout the background.

That's it!  15 cards from 2 sheets of design paper!  What do you think?  Do you have the blues too now?
