Soak up some Sun

Recently I have enjoyed working with water color paints

and Distress Inks.

Here is a card I created using water coloring.

 I cut an oval with my Explore from watercolor paper and then stamped the image on a piece of post-it-tape and then cut around the chair and umbrella.

I placed my mask chair/umbrella on the oval then watercolored the background.

Then using my MISTI I lined up my stamp to the masked area and then stamped

the image.  I then decided to stamp and color the chair image

 again and cut it out so it would add more dimension. 

  I colored the chair and umbrella with 

Distress Inks and a water brush, then pop dotted it on top.  

Then cut the stitched oval using one of my Die-Namics dies.  The top shell banner is cut from Life's a Beach cartridge and the I

added some K&Company die cuts.  

The stamps are from Sweet & Sassy stamps. I had been wanting to

use these stamps for a long time and finally had an opportunity to 

use them.  

Thanks for stopping to take a peak. 

Watercolor Stamping

Hello everyone thanks for stopping by today.

A while ago I bought some watercolor stamps from Rubbernecker stamps. I finally got to try them out.

I used the Flowers in the Breeze stamp set for this card.

It is a 3 step stamping process to get this look.  I am really happy with the way it turned out for my first try and I am sure I will use them often.

The bow I cut using the CTMH Artiste cartridge.  It is so much fun making paper bows so they match your papers exactly.

I hope you like my card, please let me know what you think.

Thanks!
