For the first card, it is dedicated to Angela using the "Hip Hip Hooray" stamp set. I wanted to create a fun background for this card, so I doodled some designs with the Thermoweb Decofoil adhesive pen - which then I can add the Thermoweb Decofoil rainbow shattered glass foil to the card without using a laminator. This is a cool way to add some foil to your card and creating some unique patterns. 

Pro Tip: If you want a more opaque look, doodle with the pen in smaller portions then add the foil. This way, the glue will not dry out too fast. If you prefer a more sketchy look like mine - please watch the video :)

For the next card, I used the "Old Ways" kit which is this really cool retro vintage phone. Who else remembers these? :)

I stamped it all over my background, then used Tim Holtz distress crayons to color everything in. If you want a more opaque look, just color directly. If you want a softer look, add water to it. And if you want a complete watercolor look, scribble some of the crayon onto an acrylic block and use your waterbrush to color.

And for my final card of the day, I used the Tierra Jackson "They Built A Life" kit - which I colored with some Copic markers. Isn't the old couple just so precious? I decided to "frame" it all up using the Avery Elle frame die. For the background, I used the Unity Stamp SMAK April 2019 kit and distress oxide inks.
