It’s a new month and a new theme for our Creatively Simple challenge!
SUNRISE SAILING
Last week I did a watercolor background, for this week I switched to watercolor coloring on my card using the Layer of Beauty Bundle! I started watercoloring with the flowers and my watercolor painter wasn’t working correctly so they turned out darker than I liked. I added some contrast by using the Layers of Beauty Stencil for the center darker portion!
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Petunia Pop cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the greeting across the top in Petunia Pop Ink, then added to the front of the base card.
- A 4 x 4 piece of Cute As Can Bee (Online Exclusive) Designer Paper was cut on the diagonal across the top and then added to the bottom of the Basic White cardstock.
- The Layers of Beauty roses were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and watercolored with Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Inks using a water brush.
- The Layers of Beauty Stencil was used to add darker Highland Heather Ink to the centers.
- It was cut with the Die and a portion of it trimmed away to fit better on my card. It was popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Old Olive cardstock was cut with two of the stand-alone leaf dies and added under the flower cluster.
- A trio of pink Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems were added to the background.
The watercoloring actually went pretty fast so I think this still qualifies as a “simple” card! OK, check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
