Watercolor Flowers and Very Versailles Sentiment ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Back in March I posted a card that had some watercolor flowers on it that were painted instead of stamped. I was asked how I made them and thought I'd share another card with the same flowers using Stampin' Up! Stampin' Write Markers to paint with instead of DiVinci watercolors (no, I did not know what I had used on the previous card since I painted the flowers sometime last year. When I started experimenting the other day I found out rather quickly it was not SU! ink!).

Lovely Day Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set

I made this card a while ago using a paper pumpkin stamp set called Lovely Day and I used the colored pencils black magic technique. You can use any floral stamp to make this. I just might try it on our Good Morning Magnolia stamps if I get a chance. 

I've heard of this technique over the years, but had never given it a try so I thought "Why not?" and I really like how it turned out!

I started by coloring everything white, then as I added color I started with the lightest to darkest. I didn't color the whole petal or leaves when I added in the darker colors, Just the white and lightest color.

Free as a Bird ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Today I have another card to share that was inspired by a sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday (#452).

This card definitely did not start out this way! 

I had my image stamped on watercolor paper and had added the sky on it after I had colored everything else. Well it ended up being pretty dark especially at the top so I wasn't too sure about it. I took a picture and didn't like how it looked on my phone so I opted to fussy cut my image out instead. Of course after I had this card completed I took pics of the card for here on my blog and as I was looking through them all on my laptop up pops the picture with the sky and I loved it! Too late to use it now since I chopped it to pieces...that's the way life goes sometimes. lol

Here is the sketch that we used this week. I can't say I followed it exactly, but I figured the birds could be the hexagon shapes. I kind of used the optional theme "flower power" since they are on the card even though they aren't the main focus. If you'd like to see what the other designers created check out their cards HERE. As always if you get a chance to play along we'd love to see what you create!
