Spring floral card

 'E' = Embossing.... this week at Darnell's IDEAS prompt, so I'm also joining the challenges at

Just Us Girls - Word Week #823 - Flowers

Just Add Ink challenge 785  - Dies-Stencils or both

Four Seasons May challenge - Spring

An easy card to make from a set which included the embossing folder and dies to make this lovely Tulip design... finished off with a sentiment from my stash and a small bow and a few gems

 

Some Fun Watercolouring

I saw this technique on Pinterest and figured why not try this with an outline stamp.... so I smooched Distress Oxide inks on my worksheet and inked my stamp from this and used a wet brush to pull the colours from the outline... I love how it turned out... bit similar to last months technique at Group of Seven Cardmakers using a Speedball Elegant Writer.

And it's the first Monday of the month so with Darnell's IDEAS prompt it's time for some INK/Colour Medium.

I used the colours for the Just Add Ink challenge #704- and randomly stamped the image on white card then finished off with a stamped sentiment.

I had so much fun I made a second card and added some turquoise ink.  I think these are very summery colours so I'm joining in the challenge at Four Season - Anything Goes Summer

A couple of Thinking of You cards

Today I have a couple of Spring Cards .... 

I am playing along with Double 'D' challenge - Monochromatic         

and also with Four Seasons challenge -May Spring challenge

First card is using stamps and dies from Altenew Modern Anemone set...  stamped with black Versafine and watercoloured with Distress Oxides

For the background panel I blended DO in Ripe Persimmon, then attached the flowers over a diecut corner piece (Sizzix Mixed Media #2).  

To finish I stamped and embossed the sentiment (Practical Publishing - Meadow Flowers set)

For my second card I used the Blossom Sprays #5 from STAMPlorations - stamped in smokey grey Versafine and watercoloured with Distress Inks - squeezed lemonade, mustard seed and bundled sage.  I added some depth with coloured pencils

Added a die cut sentiment (Sizzix - Celebration Words Script) cut from yellow card.
