Hello. Welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  

I started by blending watercolors down the left side of my watercolor paper in fall colors.  Then I stamped the branch from Memory Box using ground espresso archival ink from both ends.  The sentiment is from Parklane.  It's hard to tell in the photo, but the card base is a dark brown that is cut to a mini slimline card. 

Here is the link to join in on the challenge.

Hello. I'm playing in the Tic Tac Toe challenge today with this tag.  It covers the left and rows of the TTT grid.

I stamped the background leaf stamp and heat embossed it in white.  Then used watercolors to bring out some of the leaves.  The thanks sentiment is from Spellbinders.  I used a bit of black twine to wrap around the tag and to tie off the green ribbon at the top. 

Thanks for stopping in. 

Get well soon - SSC364

Hi there. There is a new sketch up over at Sunday Stamps.  Here is what I did with it.

The flowers are from Penny Black.  I stamped them with Versafine ink onto watercolor paper. I did heat emboss them so that the watercolors would pool a bit with the Mei Liang watercolors.  After they dried, I used a black gel pen to enhance the centers and then fussy cut them out. 

The ribbon is colored with a copic marker to match.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. 

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you'll join us for the sketch.

Happy Birthday - TFC#93

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone.  The Paper Players sketch challenge intrigued me, so decided to play with it today. This also goes well with the feminine challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.

The flower stamp is from Penny Black called blooming. I watercolored them using Mei Liang watercolors, then cut them out using square nesting dies. I did use a marker to darken in the centers. The flower that's in the circle is fussy cut and popped up using foam dimensional tape. The small happy birthday sentiment is from Jaded Blossom. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas lights

Hello. Practicing my watercoloring on this Christmas light card. Thought it came out halfway decent and made it into a card. 

Mei Liang watercolors on Artisto watercolor paper are used on this card. To get the shape, I used a die cut to trace the light bulbs out lightly with a pencil so that I had something to start with. I believe the die is a retired one from My Favorite Things.  I did get a lot of inspiration over on YouTube with many watercolor artists doing the same thing but from scratch. I cannot draw, so that is why I used a die to get me started. The bulbs are good, but I still need a bit of work on how to get the glow below them. LOL. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Adding this into the CAS colours and Sketches. I used sketch #507 but turned it on the side and did not include a sentiment.
