It's a Bird, It's a Plane...

No, it's Superman!  Here's a fun card that I made using great papers from Paper Temptress.  The image here shows the golden shimmer of the base paper, it's called Incandescent Pearl in Nero color.  Awesome paper.
I am using a super hero stamp from Starving Artistamps.  For the background, I cut out the patch on the front of his uniform.
I used a bright yellow paper with a lot of texture called ruche, Yellow Crepe.  Then I added some sparkly red paper on top of it (it has flecks of silver in it) called Sparkle Vermilion.  The image was stamped on Heavenly white and colored with watercolor pencils.  I finished the card off by adding some adorable buttons and a brad with the word DAD on there.  Now it's just perfect for that upcoming Father's Day celebration.

Project Materials:  Cardstock (Paper Temptress);  Rubber Stamp (Starving Artistamps);  Ink (Memento, Colorbox Chalk);  Brad (Around the Block);  Buttons (Grandma's Button Bag);  Adhesives (Pop dots, Glue All, Glue Dots);  Color (Watercolor Pencils);
