My first card uses the beautiful Celebrate Today stamp set. This set also comes with a coordinating die, but I decided to just stamp it directly onto my watercolor paper with waterproof black ink. I watercolored it with the lovely liquid watercolors from Pinkfresh Studio. I love it that they remain vibrant even after drying!
After everything was dry, I speckled it with some white ink. The sentiment I used is also included in the Celebrate Today stamp set. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and added it to my card with foam tape.
***
My next card was created using the Celebrate Ephemera Pack. I love to make collage type cards, and this pack was so perfect for that. There are so many pretty designs in here and enough to make many cards if you decide to use it for that.
Some of the items I glued down flat and some I added foam tape behind to give it some dimension.
And with so many words art phrases included in the pack, I didn't even have to think about adding a sentiment.

ReplyDeleteThank you for showcasing a water color card that doesn't require being talented and skilled to use the medium. I love the look of water color but many times the projects I have seen using it look like one needs much more talent and experience than I have. Not the case with your card. I think I could do this with acceptable results, maybe even good results. Thank you.
