thank you…


My neutral for this card was definitely brown so I could use the stump stamp.
The base card is green card stock with a layer of brown card stock.
The main panel is water color paper that I created the image using Tombow markers and the following Art Impression stamps:
WC Grass Line
WC Rustic Container Set
WC Flower Set 6
To finish I stamped the sentiment from Papertry Ink.



welcome…


Sometimes an image just calls out to NOT be colored!
Another of my Stampin’ Up sets that I was sure I was getting rid of…but no.
The base card is white linen card stock with a layer of black card stock.
The main panel is water color paper that I stamped with the image from Stampin’ Up “Cozy Cottage”.
Next I colored the sun with Distress water color pencil yellow pencils and then water colored them.
Once dry and attched to the base card I stamped the sentiment from the same set.

pomegranate…


It may be hard to see the one color that I chose but it is the yellow and I put it on the bottom of the pomegranates!
I was so sure I was going to get rid of this set and then I tried it with watercolor paper and Tombow markers and I loved the effect.
The base card is white linen card stock with a layer of brown card stock.
The main panel is water color paper that I stamped with the images from Stampin’ Up “Perfect Pomegranate” set using an old technique of coloring the stamps with the marker, huffing on it and then stamping it.
To finish I stamped the sentiment from a Tim Holtz set with another Tombow marker.


enjoy…


Trying to use some Stampin’ Up sets and then donate them to the craft resale store in our area.
This set was Stampin’ Up “Lilypad Lake”.
The base card is white linen card stock.
On water color paper I stamped the images from the set.
Next I colored it with Distress water color pencils.
Because the sun stamp stamped black in the center I stamped another, cut it out, flipped it over and water colored it with Distress watercolor pencils.
I applied black permanent ink around the edge and glued it to the card front.
This I layered with yellow and pink card stock then applied it to the base card.
To finish I stamped the sentiment from Paper Smooches “Happy Travels”.


happiness…


I couldn’t resist playing with these Anita Jeram images for this challenge.
The base card is white linen card stock with a layer of teal card stock.
On water color paper I stamped the images from Colorado Craft Company Anita Jeram “Wishing Happiness”with Versafine ink and coloring them with Distress watercolor pencils.
Using a stencil from Tim Holtz I drew in the bubbles and water colored them with one of the colored pencils.
To finish I stamped the sentiment from the same set.
