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.

Z Fold Tri Fold Cherries

 


A fun z fold card for an up coming card workshop. This sweetest cherries stamp set has a matching punch. I used the Artistic Mix stencils for the backgrounds (except for the DSP on the very front flap). For the card base, score at 4 1/2" and fold in half, and score 2 1/4" and fold like an accordion.

Ecclesiastes 3


Another Marigold Moments card using Tangerine Tango and Powder Pink for the flowers. The background stripes were made with Tim Holtz distress crayons and an aqua painter. The leaves are from Happiness Abounds stamps and matching Blossoming Happiness dies. Sentiment is from a seller on Amazon - I just love the Ecclesiastes verse 3:1-8. Such a reminder that we are not in control.
