this was so fun to make! 
I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the images, along with the coordinating dies to die cut it out! 
and the sentiment!! ha ha ha! still makes me laugh!
I also used the Bokeh Stencil to create the fun background, which I highlighted with sequins!
the Distress Ink colors I used are Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn!

it's hard to tell in the photos, but the sentiment was heat embossed in black onto a vellum speech bubble!

my 2nd and 3rd cards use the new Mother's Day and Father's Day mini sets!

love them!!
I used the new Hardwood Stencil for both backgrounds - I used it with white embossing paste for the Mother's Day card, and Vintage Photo Distress Ink with ink blending for the Father's Day card!

both cards have the sentiment heat embossed in black onto a strip of vellum! then I stamped, colored and fussy cut out the little images and glued them to the sentiment!

for the Mother's Day card, I combined it with the Bold Blooms Stencil and Seedless Perserves, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold Distress inks! then I used the Frames Squared Die Set to cut it out!
