Here is the card I created using this challenge and the challenge graphic:
To create this card, I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks and a watercolor brush. Taking watercolor paper in white, I "painted" using the inks and water. I used several colors to mimic the graphic colors. Then I took a die, I believe it is from My Favorite Things, it has "stitching" and the "windows" shown. I then took the cut out and applied it to a pre-made white invitation sized card.
Next, using a floral die set (again I believe it is from My Favorite Things) and black and white cardstock, I cut three floral images I took pop dots and a rectangle that resulted from my original die-cutting of the window image, and placed the rectangle high on the card in the front center. I stamped in black ink using a sentiment stamp that is from 2015 from Clearly Besotted, "Sentimental Type". then, I added the floral diecuts in an overlapped style.
The card is so simple to make. I love color graphics like this one from Retro Rubber. It is so inspiring for my crafting!

ReplyDeleteChristine, your watercoloring and blending is wonderful. You have given such a pretty feminine look to this "fallish" color palette. The swirly flowers are the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully elegant with that gorgeous watercoloring! The black is the perfect pop to the softness of the card!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty watercolors so perfectly blended! I just bought a similar stitched die, but haven't used it yet. Love how those open rose die cuts look in the center panel. Looks like the sun is shining behind them!
