COLORING, WATER PAINTING, EMBOSSING

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have another coloring piece for you.  This time I have just completed the piece, not the total card.  Still thinking about what I want to do with the card itself.

 I used a retired set called BEST THOUGHTS.  I love the beautiful BIG flower in this set, as well as the butterfly and two sentiments.  Notice I did a background water wash with a light blue tint.

 First I stamped with VersaMark and then heat embossed with Gold Detail EP.  I used Spectrum Noir markers.  I also used Sweet Sugarplum marker from SU.  The purple-ish dots on the stamens are actually Dazzling Details droplets - just a glittery shine with dimension.  They don't show very well in a photo, but they look wonderful in person on this art piece.

Thanks for stopping by to see more coloring.

NEW IN COLOR LACE TRIM ON MY BIRTHDAY CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

Today I have a birthday card in the new In-Color Watermelon Wonder.  I used the hostess stamp set called BEST THOUGHTS from the Annual Catalog.

 I stamped the image with Memento black ink and then used my aquabrush and inks in Watermelon Wonder, Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo for the watercolored flower.  The leaves are old olive and pear pizzazz.

 I saw a flower similar to this on Pinterest and knew I had to watercolor my flower on this card.  I love how it turned out.

It is hard to see, but I colored lightly my rhinestones with a light green alcohol marker.  The lace trim and the back layer is watermelon wonder.

I have entered this card at SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY.
