Happy Sunday Peeps!!!
Today I am sharing a card I made with the challenge this week at Just Add Ink.
They have a fun challenge and it is: Just Add "B". It could be whatever you want that begins with a "B" as the main focus of your card.
I choose this great stamp from the Stampin Up Helping Me Grow stamp set for my "B" and I colored them to be Black Eye Susans.
I watercolored my entire card using my Tim Holtz Distress Inks.
I love coloring with these inks.
I stamped the image onto some water color paper with Black Stazon ink.
I then taped the piece down to my water color board using some painter's tape. That is the white "frame" you see.
I colored the flowers and stems first and made sure they were dry before moving onto the background. I used a couple of colors and blended as I went along being careful to not get the flower portion wet.
I used my heat tool to dry as I went along.
I added the sentiment and corner frames using black memento ink after all was dry.
This main panel was then glued to my card base.
I used my Wink of Stella brush on the flowers, it does not show in the pic but adds just a nice shimmer.
Very pretty. I sure do like watercolor too.
ReplyDeleteI love this card, Vicki, and your watercolor background is fabulous! I really love this set and love the little corner pieces! Beautifully done! Big hugs, sweet friend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteObviously the black-eyed Susan's steal the spotlight here, but the accents at the corners really caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteThumbs up!
