Father’s Day Watercolor Card

Hi everyone, today I would love to share with you a watercolor card I created, using some old stamps I have in my stash from Great Impressions for Father’s Day. I received some Tim Holtz Distress Markers for Christmas and had not yet, had a chance to really play with them,  so I thought why not try them out with some watercolor techniques.

 

I first stamped my images on some watercolor paper and began to color in the images using Tim Holtz Distress Markers. This is the first time I have colored with these markers. I began by applying a light coat of water where I wanted the color and in a circular motion began to spread the color with a watercolor paint brush. To get the darker colors for shadowing I just added more layers of the distress marker and blended it out.

 

For the background I applied Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass to my mat and added some water. I then applies water with my brush to the background and picked up the color with my paint brush and applied to i got the desired color I was looking for.

I Love You Valentines Card

Hope everyone is having  a wonderful day. Today I want to share this cute Valentines Card I created. The card measures 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. To Create the background with embossed the white cardstock with a chicken wire Sizzix embossing folder. To achieve the color on the background, I added some Lindy’s Stamp Gang Flat Fabio T-Bird Turquoise and Pink Lady’s Pink with a brush directly to the paper until I got the color I was looking for. I cut out some of hearts from Tim Holtz mover and shapers hearts and the Heart Wings Bigz Die. I also used a heart from the ephemera pack of the Just Sayin’ Collection and arranged the hearts on the card so they were stacked.



I cut out 2 of the Flowering Branch from Die-Namites and colored them with a Faber-Castel Pistachio Gelato. I arranged 3 of the flowers I created in a triangle and added some of the vines and cut 2 flags out of the paper collection and stamped I Love you on the banner and inserted the banners into the cluster so it looks like it was part of the arrangement.
