Here we go!
I'm loving this stamp - Most of my coloring was using our water color pencils. I find coloring and fussy cutting therapeutic, especially when I'm attending a special education conference in Indianapolis and it's -27 & then, when it warmed up to above zero, it snowed! I just didn't have time to
complete this challenge before leaving, so I packed some craft supplies for my evening entertainment and this is what I created.
I used our water color pencils for most of my
coloring.
I used our Intense Black ink and stamped the image before I left home so it was thoroughly dried and it held up with the water color brush. However, for the Eggplant flowers, I used the water color brush and picked up eggplant ink squished on the lid creating "Water colors". I fussy cut the first card [I really think that's my favorite], added a little white twine on the next two cards. Card number 2 also has 5 silver glitter gems. I used gold embossing powder on emerald card stock for the 4th card.

ReplyDeleteWow, you've been busy! I love the fussy cutting of the first example.
ReplyDeleteAll of your examples are lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou always inspire me. I love the fussy cutting on your first card and the distressing on the second card. Your watercoloring is lovely too. I've been known to take images to watercolor on work trips too. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so pretty!
