Enjoy the Little Things with Llama

I’ve shared with you before that I just love this
adorable llama.  I don’t know why, he just makes
me grin.  This is a fun card a fellow demonstrator
made that I found very unique.
We are using Layering Love stamp set and
Fiesta Time framelits.
Festive Birthdays
Card Direction:
1.  Card Base — Tempting Turquoise – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
Score at 4 1/4″
2.  Basic Black — 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
3.  Watercolor Paper — 4″ x 5 1/4″
a.  Use an Aqua Painter to pick up ink from the stamp pad lids to wash across the watercolor paper to create sand, water and sky.  The more water you use, the lighter the color get.
I’m going to guess that the colors are:
Crumb Cake, Tip Top Taupe and a blend of Blushing Bride for the sand
Tempting Turquoise, Dapper Denim and Night of Navy for the water
Pool Party and Soft Sky for the sky
Let dry well.
4.  Stamp “Enjoy Life with Stazon ink
5.  Basic Black scrap — use the llama framelit to cut out the llama creating a black silhouette.

Last month my sister, Tina, and I held a Demo Make & Take event.  This card was one of my favorite cards that everyone got to make.  I fell in love with these little lady bugs holding hands.  It makes me think of Tina and I every time I see it.  The lady bugs and the greeting are both from the Love You Lots stamp set, which is a Hostess Exclusive set.  That means you can only purchase this stamp set when you host a class/party or hold a book party.  There are so many adorable images in this set, I think it is one of my all time favorites.
