Defense ......

I used a white card blank as the base for this card .....

I cut a smaller matt from 300gsm hot press watercolour card. I then made some washes with Distress Oxides and brayered the matt with seedless preserves and peacock feathers allowing to dry before stamping (AAll & Create) in Versafine Clair fallen leaves ink. I also selectively stamped the citrus slice in the same ink onto white card. This was trimmed out and coloured with watercolours and a waterbrush, applying Glossy Accents once dry.

The matt was then treated with Posca pen and stamped with numbers and triangle stamps in more of the same Distress Oxides and yellow Versafine Clair inks. A couple of yellow brads were added and some gold metallic lines.

The stamped watercolour matt was then further matted onto teal card and trimmed. I then added the coloured citrus slice on foam pads over the original image.

The words (Snarky small talk - Tim Holtz) were added and edged with black Micron pen and the matt applied to the card blank base to finish the card ..... Fruity !!
