watercolor moments

A watercolor scene using the Mountain Air stamp set on watercolor paper. This is a simple and forgiving technique. Ink the mountains in Lost Lagoon and spritz before stamping three times in layers. Then inked the trees in Mossy Meadow and spritzed, stamping two or three times before reinking. Then inked the bottom trees in Mossy Meadow and stamped without spritzing. Sentiment not SU. 

For this watercolor effect, I inked crumpled saran wrap in Azure Afternoon and Mint Macaroon, spritzed with water then stamped randomly on paper. Then stamped Distress Oxide ink Peacock Feathers onto acetate, spritzed, then inked trees and stamped randomly. Added gilded leafing in various spots with glue. 

 

Masculine Birthday Cards

Masculine cards do not come easy for me! Somehow I always want to use flowers lol! For the tree card I used an off brand die to cut various size paper strips in various colors. The trees are from both Pine Woods Dies and Majestic Mountain Dies. The sentiment is an off brand as well. Easy peasy, super simple. 

For the next card, I used the same colorful strips, then colored yupo paper with alcohol inks and then die cut the fish and hook with Catch of the Day Dies. Sentiment is from Approaching Perfection stamp set. A funny birthday card for witha  masculine flair!
