In these cards I have used the Party Pals stamp set from Paper Smooches in two ways. On the first card I stamped the image with black ink and with Antique Linen distress ink in the second card. I wanted to achieve a no line colouring look but there was a bit of goof up and I drew in the image with a Rusty Hinge distress marker to make the image pop up a bit more. I adhered the card on to a white card stock and some patterned paper. Which one would you go for?

watercolour card for SSS Work it Wednesday April 2015

Just love this cute stamp Furry Cat and Box from Simon Says Stamp. I started by stamping with some black archival ink and coloured it with some watercolours and then cut it out leaving a white border. I took a piece of watercolour paper and then did some water colouring with distress inks and splattered a few drops with my wet brush. I then finished the card off with a sentiment from the same stamp set and some natural twine.

watercolour card

Started this card with the "smooshing" of watercolour on some Strathmore watercolour paper. I then used the stitched rectangle dies from Simon to create the front panel of the card and adhered it onto some pink cardstock. I also water coloured the stamp image and after fussy cutting it with my scissors, I glued it onto a vellum tag using the Mama Elephant dies. I finished it of by embossing the greeting with white embossing powder.

online card classes - watercolour for card makers

The recent Online Watercolour Card Classes have been simply outstanding! What amazing techniques and wonderful cards by some very talented people!! I have been thoroughly enjoying it but time just got away. I finally did manage to squeeze in a card. This technique was shown on the very first day by Kristina featuring stamped embosses resist and watercolour wash. So cool! 

Have a great weekend!
