Grateful For You

Good Afternoon!

I have a little water color card to share with you today.  It will be entered into the following Challenges; Papertrey Ink, Create Along With Us April 2016, Power Poppy, Pick 3, WOW! Embossing Powder and Simon Says Monday, April Sowers Bring May Flowers.

 
I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set Vintage Linens and dies sets, Vintage Linens and Just The Jar, Quart size.  I die cut water color paper and then stamped the blossoms and leaves outlines in Versa Mark ink and White Embossing Powder, heat sealed.
 
I was inspired by Melissa's  cards hi-lighting Friendship Jar Of Flowers.  Go check them out, you'll see how gorgeous they are! 

 
Using 3 Dimensional Pop Dots I popped the blooms up at different points, thus giving some depth and dimension.  The sentiment was stamped in Black Licorice ink on a MFT Stitched Traditional Tag.  A sheer green ribbon tied in a knot for accent as well as a handful of iridescent sequins.
 
This may not qualify for the Power Poppy Challenge as I did not use 3 Copic Markers, but I did use only 3 Ink colors, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Wild Wasabi.  When I 'water color' I just take my ink pads and open them up, using a water brush I add the ink to the inside cover of the pad and mix with water and proceed to paint.....works like a charm! 
 
Thanks so much for popping in!
 
Enjoy~~

  7. This is absolutely stunning. I love those beautiful colors too. And, yellow is my most favorite color at the moment. Maybe because it reminds me of sunshine.
