With Sympathy...

Hello, happy Friday!  

I have a watercolor card to share with you today.  You're not getting tired of water coloring, are you?  I hope not, since I'm having so much fun experimenting with different ways to watercolor!  I know, that sounds wierd since it's a "sympathy" card.  

This card for an artistic friend who recently lost her husband after a long illness.

For this card, I stamped the flower using Tim Holtz Distress Ink, then I used Stampin' Up marker (regular ones) to do the water coloring.  I think that most any water based marker would work.  After everything was dry, I added drops of glossy accents.

MCT Designer Challenge ~ just a note!

Good morning, 

it's time for another Designer Challenge over at My Creative Time!  This really is the best kind of challenge because you get to choose the challenge.  What?  You need me to say that again?  Yes, you get to choose the challenge...you can choose between the colors, the picture, the sketch, or any combination.  See why I  say it's the best kind!

To create my card I first embossed the leafy stamp with clear embossing powder on the oval background.  Once it cooled I water colored it with Tim Holtz Distress Ink with a yellow.  After it was all dry I die cut the oval.

Then on water color paper I stamped the flowers and leaves and water colored them with Stampin' Up ink pens.  Again once dry, I die cut all of them.  

After I assembled all the pieces, I added wink of stella and glossy accents to the flowers.

MCT Tag It Tuesday ~ happy bird-day!

Happy Tuesday crafty peeps!  Today is Tag It Tuesday over at My Creative Time.  This is a fun feature where we get to create tags.  But you say "hey, that's a card" yep, you're right...but there is a tag on it!  hehehe 

I made this card for a friend of mine...I hope she receives it before she sees it here ;)

I set out to make a round tag, however as I was working it, this is what came out!  Sometimes that's what happens :)  I water colored  some paper then die cut the tag (that helps it not warp as much).

MCT Inspire Me Wednesday ~ think of you!

Howdy!  Today is Inspire Me Wednesday over at My Creative Time!  My card was inspired by wedding decor I found, and thought was beautiful.   You can click here to see my inspiration http://blog.hwtm.com/2013/07/pink-glittery-gold-disco-fairy-party/  :)

The sentiment is from a new set called "Tweet Me"  I did some masking to stack the sentiment to fit in location I want it.  After coloring with copics, I added a bit of wink of stella and glossy accents to the flower petals.

MCT March Release Sneak Peek Day 3 ~ wishing you!

It's Day 3 of Sneak Peeks and we are half way through My Creative Time's March Release!  Wasn't yesterday FABULOUS!!!  Who am I kidding, everyday is fabulous! :0

Today I have a brand new stamp set and sort of a new die, Love You Bunches stamp and die sets and Jr. Rolled Flower Dies.  Now the new Jr. Rolled Flower Dies are two flower dies.  And yes it's just what you're thinking...they are "baby flowers" like the flower die we already have!  So now you'll have small, medium, and large flowers for all your crafty needs!

To create this card, I first watercolored with greens, yellows, and pale blue the background.  While waiting for it to dry I die cut the flowers and rolled them.  Of course I used both of the new sizes.  I love how no two are the same!  After adding gold thread, I adhered the flowers to create the bouquet.

  Once all the flowers were dry, I heat embossed the part of the sentiment, and the rest of the sentiment on the inside of the card.  Oh my I just realized I didn't take a picture of the inside :/  well it says "Happy Mother's Day".  The sentiment is from the Love You Bunches stamp and die set.

After it was all put together, I felt it was still lacking something.  So I carefully added the splatters of black and gold.  Lastly I added some drops of glossy accents to the background and the petals.
