get well soon

Hello again. yes I have had another play with Jo's bubbles stencil. I do love it. I made this card for my son's friend who has hurt himself and is not able to go to school and so had to pull out of the school play. I'm sure he's gutted as this chap loves acting and he is good at it.

 

So I used the new colours of distress ink, and added colour through larger circles with: fossilized amber, cracked pistachio, mermaid lagoon, abandoned coral. I tried to keep the little circles monochromatic.
Then using black archival ink and the wee folk, I stamped the 2 boys as shown. I extended the rope of the swinging lad to make it look as if it is under and over the gaps between circles. I added a bit of shadow with hickory smoke under the boy holding the bubble.
Same bleaching and white pen as in my previous post. Went round the edge with a black pen.

 

I stamped the sentiment on a separate piece of card and edged in black again. mounted it on an A6 card with foam tape for a bit of dimension and hopefully it goes with the sketch above.
So I hope Ross like it, Theresa xx.
Stamps and stencil are from Claritystamp.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Simon says Stamp Monday challenge - summer (colours used are the summer hues)
TTCRD - anything goes
