Little Leaves Sponged Card

From Adriel:

I had some flowers leftover from the watercolor spread technique I talked about in this post. I couldn't let them go to waste! =)

I used the reverse masking technique from the Little Leaves sizzlet die and sponging to create the background for my card. I love how the sponged leaves create such a lovely background on this simple card. Sometimes less is more.

Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

Embossed Fifth Avenue Watercolored Flower

From Heidi...
I showed you this Fifth Avenue Rose several weeks ago, but at the time I wasn't sure how I was going to use it. I came up with this card and I love how the rose fits so nicely on it... which is one of several cards we'll be making in our upcoming watercolor class at the Tumbleweed Recreation Center next month. Aren't these great colors together (Night of Navy, Almost Amethyst and Blush Blossom)? This technique is the Embossed Reinker Spread that so many have been playing around with. It's a wonderful technique that makes a beautiful central focus for a card.

Color, Color, Color!

From HeidiI've been admiring all the beautiful colors that other stampers have created using the very popular "Watercolor Spread." So today I thought I'd play with color. What fun! No wonder everyone is crazy about this technique...it's simple, you get to play with color and the end results are successful and beautiful. I only have one 3x3 notecard that I finished using one of the flowers, but I took pictures of the flowers I made on the backgrounds that I think I'll make my cards with. If you haven't tried this technique, you really should because it's very fun! I know that others have tutorials and examples posted that they have shared with others, but I saw this technique on Patty Bennett's site: http://www.pattystamps.com/

Have fun and thanks for looking!
