Color My Heart Color Challenge #597

It may be hard to see the one color that I chose but it is the yellow and I put it on the bottom of the pomegranates!

I was so sure I was going to get rid of this set and then I tried it with watercolor paper and Tombow markers and I loved the effect.

The base card is white linen card stock with a layer of brown card stock.

The main panel is water color paper that I stamped with the images from Stampin’ Up “Perfect Pomegranate” set using an old technique of coloring the stamps with the marker, huffing on it and then stamping it.

To finish I stamped the sentiment from a Tim Holtz set with another Tombow marker.

Color Hues Challenge #85

Trying to use some Stampin’ Up sets and then donate them to the craft resale store in our area.

This set was Stampin’ Up “Lilypad Lake”.

The base card is white linen card stock.

On water color paper I stamped the images from the set.

Next I colored it with Distress water color pencils.

Because the sun stamp stamped black in the center I stamped another, cut it out, flipped it over and water colored it with Distress watercolor pencils.

I applied black permanent ink around the edge and glued it to the card front.

This I layered with yellow and pink card stock then applied it to the base card.

To finish I stamped the sentiment from Paper Smooches “Happy Travels”.

Time Out Challenge #262

I couldn’t resist playing with these Anita Jeram images for this challenge.

The base card is white linen card stock with a layer of teal card stock.

On water color paper I stamped the images from Colorado Craft Company Anita Jeram “Wishing Happiness”with Versafine ink and coloring them with Distress watercolor pencils.

Using a stencil from Tim Holtz I drew in the bubbles and water colored them with one of the colored pencils.

To finish I stamped the sentiment from the same set.

The Paper Players Challenge #686

Looking through the local newspaper I found a coupon for  a B1G1F ice cream cone.

A friend had said she was hoping that her hubby could get their truck ready soon and take her for an ice cream.

I thought it would be a good idea to make a card and send her the coupon.

The base card is dark pink card stock with a layer of black card stock.

On water color paper using Stamps from Art Impressions I created the truck, grass and Spring flowers.

Next I stamped the sentiment from Inkadinakadoo.

CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #535

Before my craft room becomes the place for my furniture while they put in a new rug, I decided to play along with a couple more challenges!

The base card is white card stock.

With navy blue card stock I cut a panel and die cut it with Lawn Fawn lawn cuts quilted backdrop.

Next I cut from white card stock the sentiment using Lawn Fawn lawn cuts so joyful line border.

To finish I used white card stock and dies from Lawn Fawn lawn cuts stitched snowflakes.
