Noah's Ark Card (Di's Digis image)

This card is for sale:   $8 AUS       $6 US     5 EUR      4 GBP

(see bottom of post for how to buy and postage info)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thank you so much for dropping by to see my card, I have used a gorgeous Noah's Ark style image from Di's Digis. I tried my hand at masking on this card, I printed the image out twice, once on the colour blending paper and once on a normal sheet of paper for cutting out. I then lightly stuck the thin paper image over the top of my freshly coloured in image and using my homemade cloud template lightly brushed ink to make the clouds. I coloured the water and then added some texture paste for the sea foam.
