First wedding card of the season! (I feel like Santa in The Polar Express, "First gift of Christmas!") I used Lawn Fawn's Bicycle Built for You stamps and die cuts. Background is Bazill Orange Peel with some watercoloring. Pieces were colored with Copics and have just a touch of Wink of Stella. Interesting card to piece together for sure!
I totally fell in love with Lawn Fawn's Life is Good set when it came out. It took me while to get some ink to paper, but I finally had the chance:
Discovery: Bazzill Orange Peel paper works great with water colors. Since I could not find my stash of watercolor paper, I decided to give it a try for the background. I also purchased the dies that accompany this set, and die cut the hammock, the trees, and the flip flops. The hammock and trees are adhered with SU! Dimensionals. The flip flops are simply adhered and layered. I colored the pieces with Copics, and inked the images with Adirondack ink. This was made for a friend who was hosting a pool party at her home.
As of late, I have seen some crafting with watercolors. I have to say, there are some things I love about watercolors, and other things I am not so in love with. Here are some cards that lately I have really liked using this technique:
I love the die cut over the watercolor background on this one.
This might be my favorite KKel card of all time. It mixes two things I love: summer and Ali Edwards! Isn't that background perfect for the sentiment?
This one's a Kristina Werner video that actually made me want to give it a whirl.
And here is my attempt. So clean. So simple. Made, of course, under the watchful eye of Karen (see the photo background?). I used her Sakura KOI Watercolors and a Stampin' Up! Aquapainter. Then we sprayed some watercolor paper with water, and I experimented. I loved how the paint blended, and knew I did not want to cover it much, so I looked for a sentiment that would fit. I found one in PTI's Wise Owl set. The cool thing is, I know exactly to whom I want to give this card.
