Water Coloring

Happy Hump Day!

For today's card I tried a little water coloring. Sunday Stamps Challenge #303 Spring Dreaming provided a cheerful palette of blue and greens. I combined their challenge with CASE-ing Tuesday Sketches #397. They picked a card from page 54 in the January- April Mini Catalog to work with. 

I cut a 3 1'3" by 5" piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and embossed it with the Timeworn Type folder. I glued this to the front of a notecard.

For the water coloring, I used Water Painters and Shimmer White cardstock. From top to bottom the colors I used were, Balmy Blue, Soft Sea Foam, Garden Green and Granny Apple Green. 

I used the grass stamp from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set and Granny Apple ink stamped off on the Granny Apple Green section.

I used Bermuda Bay ink and the splatters from the quiet Meadows stamp set to add "flowers" to the Garden Green section. I cut the cardstock to 3 1/2" by 2 3/4" and glued it to the card front.

I cut a 3 1/2" by 1/2" piece of the Granny Apple Green Dandy Designs DSP and glued it to the card front.

I used a few strands of the Threaded Twine tied into a bow and attached that to the card front.

The sentiment from the Warm Welcome stamp set was stamped three times with Granny Apple Green ink. I cut them out and attached them to the card front with dimensionals.
