Good morning! I'm excited to be this weeks Growing in Unity gal for Unity Stamp Company! If you don't know how it works, I get to share my projects all week long, and then pick a comment from sometime during the week to win two itty bitty stamps of their choice! So...the more comments you leave, the better chance you have of winning! I will draw and announce a winner on May 5th! I have been so in love with the Watercolor trend lately, that I decided to do a weeks worth of watercolor projects! I am also going to give away a set of the same watercolor paints I have been using all week - so you can try out the watercolor trend as well!
Here is my first project:
Here is my first project:
Living in Wyoming, I absolutely fell in LOVE with this cute itty bitty called Boots, Class, and Sass. Isn't it darling! I stamped it on watercolor paper, then colored it in with my watercolor paints - I purchased them a while back from Michaels.
Once that dried, I stamped my sentiment, then wrapped some linen ribbon from Tim Holtz around my panel. Background paper is by Basic Grey, and I mounted my front panel with foam adhesive.
Also linking this up with this weeks Shop Pumpkin Spice Challenge - Stamping!
Thanks so much for stopping by this week! See you again tomorrow!
Oh goodness, I LOVE THIS! It is so very Texan, imo, with the boots and the floral print! Texan gals are famous for pairing beat up boots with frilly dresses in the summertime. I love your watercoloring--wish mine came out this gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on being the GIU girl this week! I did it a few weeks ago and had so much fun! I'm super excited to see all your watercolor cards this week. I love the medium too, although I've been using watercolor pencils, since I don't have the paints. Are you stamping your images on watercolor paper first, or on regular cardstock?
ReplyDeleteYour boot and flowers are just adorable!! I love the background paper too...perfect choice to go with the flowers! Have fun this week!
