Fifth Avenue Floral – Reinker watercolor

May 20, 2009 By Connie | Leave a Comment

Last week, I demonstrated the Reinker Watercolor technique to a couple people who missed my class so they would know how to make up their card samples. Since I had the Fifth Avenue Floral rose on my table, I decided to finish it off into a card! I used Pixie Pink and Pretty in Pink reinkers for this one…I love the combination! I tried to leave a little more white space on this, too!

My base card is Pixie Pink and I added a strip of Sweet Always Designer Paper on the left side. Then I stamped "Life is what happens…" from Full of Life** on Whisper White, using my markers to color it Pixie Pink and Chocolate Chip. I layered it onto Chocolate Chip and then placed the Rose on dimensionals over the top edge. I cut two Little Leaves Sizzlets with my Big Shot from Certainly Celery and placed them under the Rose. This is a pretty simple card that packs a lot of WOW, I think! I still have several Rose samples sitting on my desk…I’m sure you’ll be seeing them in the future!

Remember…my VACATION SPECIAL is going on NOW!

**Full of Life is still available on the Dormant List.

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and had my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
