Impression Obsession DT Challenge: Squared

The Impression Obsession team's challenge today is to create a square card. Here's mine! I love this fun combo for summer.


I die cut a square of watercolor paper and built the sentiment first. For the strawberries, I used this image, positioning it off the edges so I didn't get too much of the tea cup in the picture.

Strawberry Tea

I used Zig Clean Color markers to color the panel, scribbling color onto a piece of plastic to make a quick temporary palette. Below you can see the droplets a little closer - those are done with hot glue. If you try this... make sure your gun is good and hot, squeeze out a tiny bit, and then circle the tip of the gun around the droplet to keep the glue in a round droplet instead of creating a point.
