The butterfly is an old one from Stampin Up! I stamped it twice, fussy cut one out and colored with watercolors to match the red and orange in the photo below. I stamped another onto the card base and then popped up the colored one using a foam strip. The leaf panel is done with a stencil. I used the thinking of you sentiment from Recollections to finish off the card.

Blue water colored flowers

Hello everyone. Playing in The Paper Players sketch challenge today. PP551

Used the new distress prize ribbon on the background strips. The flower stamp is (I believe) from Penny Black and I've had this water colored up and stuck in my stash for a while. Though it went well with the sketch and paired pretty closely with the new distress ink. Pearls are from Moda Scrap, and the thanks die was stacked three times for dimension.

Thanks for stopping in and have a great day.

Hydrangea's

Hello - What is this, my third post today? Wow, the mojo was flowing today. LOL =) I'm now playing in the Twofer challenge with the code word of Flowers.

Mondo Hydrangea is from Ellen Hutson. I stamped it in versamark ink and heat embossed it using detail white embossing powder from Ranger. Then I spritzed them both heavily with water and dipped a paint brush into blue watercolor and let it run. Layered both of these onto navy blue cardstock.

Once dried, I added the sentiments and the flower centers using fabrika decoru drops. Sympathy sentiment is from Honey Bee and the birthday one is from Simon Says Stamp.

Watercolor park bench

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is Anything goes!

I used Tombow markers to watercolor the park bench in grays. The grass was done using only the grass from the flower border. It was easy to color just the grass and stamp it down then use a paint brush to soft it up. Stenciled on the clouds using the cloud edger from a colorful life designs and tumbled glass distress oxide ink. I hand drew the birds.

Project of the week - watercolor smooch

Hello. It's my turn over at The House That Stamps Built to do a project of the week. Today I'm sharing what I call watercolor smooch. This technique has been around a long time, and we forget about it. I love it because it can really produce a lovely effect.

I used water color markers (TomBow and Memento) used here, along with solid stamps. Color the stamp with whatever marker color you choose, then spritz it with water and lay it on to watercolor paper. Let it sit for a few seconds, and then slowly pull up. Let it air dry. These leaves made wonderful impressions and worked well for a fall card.

I hope you try this - think of the possibilities if you mix a few colors on the stamp. Thanks for stopping in.

Ice cream

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the use the following graphic.

Slim line stitched plaid die is from A Jillian Vance Design. I added the square dies to it to create a place to showcase the ice cream stamps. I water colored them and fussy cut them out to pop onto the centers of the die cuts. Of course I had to add some sprinkles to the strawberry ice cream, right?
