BIC #53

Hello friends!

I am so inspired by all the watercolored cards i've seen lately. So today i created a card using watercolor technique for BIC #53. First, I used washi tape to mask off the 4 edges, then simply swiped the brush across the card in different colors. Let it dry then stamped the image from Flower Doodles in black ink. Removed the washi tapes and stamped the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!!

Hey You Card Featuring Tri-Me Set

Good morning everyone!

Hope you had a great weekend! Today i'm sharing a one layer card using TAWS Tri-Me. I used Memento Bahama Blue, Rose Bud and WPlus9 White ink pads. When i started inking, i didn't really have a pattern in mind. I just lined up the corner of each triangle and wing it from there :).

I'm entering this card to the following challenges:

Have a great week everyone!

Sparkly Baby Card

Good morning everyone!

Baby cards usually have soft color palettes. Today i'm sharing a baby with bold colors and sparkles.

I created my background with watercolors. I've been using an inexpensive watercolor kit i picked up at Target for a while. With watercolor techniques seen so often lately, i thought i'd invest in a quality watercolor set. I decided to go with Gansai watercolor kit... WOW i am in love it with. The colors are so vibrant and bright. LOVE LOVE it!

My stamp images are stamped on silver glittered card stock, fussy cut and hung using mini clothespins.

Special Delivery

Good morning everyone,

How was your weekend? I'm sharing a quick card made with the mini set Baby On Board. The background is created with stencil and Copic Air-Brusing can. I bought this air can 2 years ago and this is the first time I've ever used it. I'm not sure because it's old or i had it too close, but the result is blotchy... not liking it too much.

Anyways, have a terrific Monday and a great week!!
