You've Got This Tip Top Macaron

Here is the new set, You've Got this, on page 113 again.  

The "scratchy" background is stamped in the new 

in-color Mint Macaron.

The focal image is Mossy Meadow, with Tip Top Taupe card base.

Add a little 1 inch Dotted Lace Trim and it's complete.

Old and New

This card combines the retired Blooming with Kindess

set with new 2015-16 In-Colors (Mint Macaron, Watercolor

Wonder and Delightful Dijon).  The flower was stamped

in Watercolor Wonder and I used an Aqua Painter to

pull color across the petals, then highlighting with the Dijon.

I used the new Boho Chic

Textured Embossing Folder to add interest to the card base.

 This card uses a new set on page 113, called

You've Got This.  It includes a really nice "scratchy" background

image that enables you to "color in" the flower,

or create a stand alone background.  It's a great set,

with excellent sentiments.

This sample also presents one of the new 2015-17 In-Colors;

Tip Top Taupe.  It pairs really well with Blushing Bride!

Impressionistic Wetlands

Yep, we're bringing you another Watercoolor Challenge.

This one is a photo inspiration challenge from Kath!

Here is our challenge.  It is a lovely, colorful image!

Currently, we have an American Impressionists Exhibit

showing at our local Art Institute.  I love this art style, so it was

stuck in my head when I created this card.  Plus, I needed some

kind of "bird influence."

So here is my challenge card, using the Wetlands set.

First, I sponged color on Watercolor Paper.

Then, rather than spritzing the card with water,

I sprayed water on a stampin sponge and

"pounced" it on the paper.  This created a more controlled,

mottled texture.  Next, I stamped the images and again

pounced and distorted with a wet sponge. Using a sponge

gave me the ability to create distortions and blending

where I wanted it, while leaving other areas more distinct. 

I hope that you have enjoyed my offering.  Please
