I pulled out a really old Stampin' Up! set called Sketches. The date on this set is 2003, but as soon as I saw the images somewhere on the internet, I had to hunt it down on Ebay and buy it.
I stamped the image on watercolor paper and colored using my markers and blender pen. I then made a mask of the image and sponged Pool Party ink over the masked image. I used the circle scissor to cut out the main image plus a Pool Party layer.
After putting the card together, I then pierced all around the image and flag, which I now regret. But unfortunately you can't take holes away LOL.
Here are the challenges:
Thanks for looking.
