PTI June Blog Hop 2014 #2

This is the photo inspiration for PTI June Blog Hop. I love the colors!

I also used the 2nd sketch, but changed it up a little. I used watercolor paints to make the base of the flowers, and added the circle scribble dies over the top. I have to admit, I am kinda addicted to the watercolor trend. I hope you like it!

Watercolor for Card makers #6

I previously posted the 2nd generation stamp, this is the 1st stamp and I really love the bright colors. I  changed the layout a little, I wanted more color to highlight the wildflowers. I used Tim Holtz markers and Hero Art Stamp. I think this is my favorite of the two. 

Watercoloring for card makers #5


 
Okay my second attempt at faux hand watercoloring. I am not sure I really have it yet, this is way more complicated then I usually do. I used Tim Holtz distress paints on my acrylic block as my pallet and the stamp is from PTI- Year of Flowers. I hope it at least a good start ;-)

Watercolor for Card makers #4

OH WOW is this technique fun, Laura B showed on the 1st day of class how to make a colorful background with your clear blocks and I love it! So very fun and simple! I used Tim Holtz Broken Glass and Peeled Paint to make the background. I embossed the sympathy sentiment with white embossing powder and the flowers are from memory box. I will be making more of these to have on hand. Make it a great day!

Watercolor class #3


I used Tim Holtz Distress markers on the back of the Hero Arts Wildflower stamp, misted it with water and stamped it on Tim Holtz watercolor paper- this is my 2nd generation. I love these Tim Holtz colors together- ripe persimmon, peacock feathers, seedless preserves, and peeled paint. The Dizzy Doily die is from My Favorite Things. Hope you like it! Thanks for checking it out!
