Ohhhh, it's been a long while since I have written.
Will I ever get in the groove of posting my craft????
I love, love, LOVE making pretty cards and working on my pages, but getting them into the blog is just hard for me. I think, for me, posting on a schedule would work...going to have to give that a good try!!!
So, I have been reading all your blogs and I am so inspired by the beautiful ideas all of you come up with. God has blessed us with such wonderful talent and for those of us who love to ooh and aah at other people's work, there is much to admire. I am just awed by the products and the new ideas that are constantly coming up on the market, the biggest challenge is not to spend more on our art than we do on food!
So on to my card. I have jumped wholeheartedly on the watercolor bandwagon. I've always loved the look of watercolors but never thought that I could actually do it. Now, with the use of stamps...it's so EASY...AND ENJOYABLE!!! I used an image from Mo's digis... http://mosdigitalpencil.com/I just love her art!!!don't you??? it's so FUN!!!
This card is for our granddaughter's birthday and I wanted an image that just epitomized who she is...well, this was PERFECT!!!

As you can see, the image is simple watercoloring, and I used my Cameo to cut the words out. The circles are from a packet I picked up somewhere a while ago. It's very simple, I know, but perfect for my girl.
I have entered this card in the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter will treasure this sweet and happy birthday card forever, Elena! I took that watercolor class, too (well up to Day 5 and I can't wait to get back to it), and I also use the Tombow markers and love them!

ReplyDeleteWell, that's odd, I left a comment but it didn't appear, so I'll try again. Elena, I love your bright and happy HOORAY birthday card! Just look at those braids!! And you are so right about the fun of watercoloring using stamps and Tombow markers; you did a marvelous job with this one!! (I only made it halfway through the class and can't wait to get back to it!) Thanks for playing in the June W2SB challenge!! Enjoy the day! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI love the look of watercolor too, but haven't gotten brave enough to jump on the band wagon. You did a lovely job and all the banners are really fun. Thanks so much for joining in our challenge at Mo's!
ReplyDeleteWhat girl wouldn't love to receive such a bright, fun card! Love how you scattered the dots!
