Although I didn't doodle these pretty flowers- I used the Blossoming Buds stamp set by Paper Smooches- I did watercolor them myself! I stamped the floral stamp onto watercolor paper with Jet Black Staz-on ink. I used Kuretake watercolors to paint them in, layering them to get the colors I wanted.
Once It was dry, I stamped the sentiment, also from the Blossoming Buds set, with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I splattered a little Calico Shine mist over the image and let it dry.
I kept my layout simple, adding some woodgrain patterned paper to the center of the card front and a bit of floral paper to the bottom- they are from Webster's Pages Ocean's Melody line. I embellished with just a bit of twine from Lawn Fawn to split up the main panel.
I'm going to link this up to the Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge this week- it's an Anything Goes week!
I was able to craft with some of my friends over the weekend- Miriam and JJ came over to spend the day on Saturday. It's so much more fun crafting with friends, isn't it? :) They were kind enough to let me raid their stashes- the Kuretake watercolors were Miriam's and now that I've used the larger set, I may have to upgrade! This adorable stamp set was JJ's and it's definitely on my list now, too! Such enablers!! Hee!
Hope you have a great day!
