Gumnut Blossom

click on photo

Hi everyone,

I have another watercolor card to share with you today. This gumnut blossom is so different and I had never heard of this blossom before and I found it to interesting so I just had to color it. I checked our some photos on google for colors they come in and decided on the bright pink. I printed the image onto artist loft watercolor paper and colored it with peerless watercolors. I decided to flick my brush afterwards with the green and pink to color the background. I decided to use a pencil and then with the pearl grey wrote in the name of the blossom.  I then added a few large sequins and one small sequin.When it was completely dry I layered the piece onto recollections black cs. The base of the cs is SU natural cs. I felt with the colors I used it needed a bit more color so I have used SU melon mombo cs in .25 strips to frame the image. I am pleased how it turned out.

Watercolored flowering branch

Hi everyone,

I am using a cute branch of flowers from Beccy's Place. The card base is SU natural cs. I find it goes very well with the watercolor paper. The bashful blue is also SU cs. The image was printed onto artist loft 90 lb paper. The trim on the top and bottom of the card I used the MS trellis punch. The stamp is from SU well scripted set.  I used a spellbinders die to cut the image after it was watercolored. I then used the gorgeous grunge on each side of the sentiment but then I wish I hadn't. So I decided to cover some of it up by putting in some silver sequins and then added some pearls on the top of them. I then decided it looked finished.

Miss Chrysanthemum

Hi everyone,

The weather here is still so hot that I am not venturing out much until evening.  Our second sponsor this week is Beccy's Place. I am using this cut little girl called Chrysanthemum. I printed her onto neenah solor white cs and colored her in copic markers. E00,000,21,R20,81,83, G14. I used a 6x6 paper stack from american crafts. I cut two different papers at 4x5.25 and then cut them in half twice. I decided to use an embossing folder on them, inked around the edges with brown ink. I added a solid color of DCWV solid green on top of the white card base. I fussy cut around the image and propped her up with dimentionals onto another pink layer. On the corners of the layer I used a fleur delis punch. I added a small banner the same colour as the brown cs. The flowers are from my stash and ribbon is from MS. I will enter this card into these challenges.

I then added some pearls. I will enter this card into these challenges.
