Create With Us: Pool Party Card 1

 I was so happy to participate in another Create With Us class through Lawn Fawn by Jenn Shurkus and Kelly-Marie Alvarez! I always get some great tips from these classes and enjoy the cards we make. This time, the class happened to occur on my Mom's birthday, so she and I created at my house along with my Aunt in Toronto! 

For our first card, we created a pool for our tubes to float around on by wetting some watercolour paper and adding in Peacock Feathers distress oxide ink. After drying it with a heat gun, we added the water ripple details and droplets.

I knew that our nephew's birthday was coming up and wanted to personalize the card for him. He told me that his favourite animal right now is a cheetah, so I decided to turn my cats into cheetahs! 

I decided to include five cheetahs on my card since our nephew is turning 5, so I put the remaining two cats floating inside the card.
