Birthday wishes

Hello. After practicing for months and CASing one of my favorite watercolor artists (K. Lynne), I finally got one done that I think is worth sharing. 

I used Inkon3 fade out ink with Tombow markers for the leaves and for the flowers I used aged mahogany distress ink. I watered it down a lot in order to get the soft colors that I admired in Kassi's creation which you can find here. 

Stamps are from Gina K Designs and the dot piercing die is from Gina Marie Designs.

Hello there

Hi everyone!  Playing in a couple of challenges today. I started off with the flowers from the Simon Says Stamp stronger together stamp set. I stamped it onto cold press watercolor paper using Inkon3 fade out ink and water colored it using markers and a water brush. Used gauche to splatter on some white and black spots for added interest.

Card base is cardstock from PTI called rustic white. Embossed the front layer with a Darice quilted embossing folder. Green cardstock from MFT used with a stitched rectangle die and then wrapped with twine.

The hello there sentiment is from SSS too.

Hello. Playing in the sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today.

I used the leaf stamp from the SSS delicate flowers set and no line water colored them randomly onto a piece of watercolor paper. I added dots using a memento green marker to fill in some of the white space. The sentiment is also from Simon Say Stamps.

Dot cover die is from Jillian Vance Designs and the gingham paper is from A Muse Studio.

Have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping in.
