Watercolor Flowers

Happy Friday!

Robin here and I have a wonderfully quick card to share.

I started with "Watercolor Flowers" (H255) stamped with Versamark and then a fine black embossing powder.  Embossing helps keep the watercolors inside the flowers.  Next take some Distress Inks, stamp them on your work matt and spritz some water.  The painting goes rather quickly.  After drying I cut the flowers out.  I used some more DI on some plain white paper then glued the flowers into place.  Then I stamped with "Swirly Happy Birthday" (E367) and added some butterfly brads.  All that's left is to put it on the base card and you're done.

I want to add a reminder for you.  We have just begun our Great Impressions Monthly Challenge this past Sunday.  

And check out the adorable stamp you can win!

I do hope you will join us this month.  HAPPY CRAFTING!

Hugs,

Robin

One Layer Mother's Day

Hi, friends!  I'm back today to share a card using some beautiful stamps from the Great Impressions online store.  Since Sunday is Mother's Day, I thought I'd share a one layer Mother's Day card today.  Take a peek...

This image I used for this card is H255 Watercolor Flowers.  I colored it with markers before stamping.  Liquid pearls were added to the centers for more texture and shine.

After coloring and stamping the image twice, I stamped my sentiment--D350 My Mother.  Some pearls were added to anchor the sentiment.  I then rounded the corners of the card, and it was done!  I hope you like it--I really do!  Please leave me a comment below to let me know what you think!

That's all for me today, friends.  THANK YOU so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card!  I also would love for you to come and join our monthly challenge!  If you use a stamp from the Great Impressions online store, please link it up in our Customer Gallery, too!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

Autumnal Flowers

Hello stamping friends! Leah joining you today! I don't know about you but I can hardly believe we are into the month of September. I have to admit fall is not my favorite season but I can deal with it a lot better when flowers are involved :) So I pulled out a pretty floral stamp and chose some autumn colors to ring in the season.

My flower image is called Watercolor Flowers (H255) and to color them that's just what I did using my Tombow markers. After they were colored and dry I fussy cut them and layered them together. For my sentiment I used the Tags (G483) set and to add a bit of interest and not totally let go of summer added some Flitting Butterflies (A32).

Friendship: To Be Oneself

Hi, friends!  It's time for another post using stamps from the Great Impressions online store!  Today I have a card made with some of our NEWEST stamps and some bling I forgot I had in my stash!  I went for a blue and gray color combo to match the bling I re-found. ;)  Come and take a peek!

Here's my card~

More details on my personal blog HERE.

Products used: H255 Watercolor Flowers, E841 To Be Oneself

I stamped the flower image a few times and then the sentiment on top.  I then added the bling flowers and held them in place with liquid pearls.  I also added some glossy accents to the circular parts of the sentiment.  I LOVE it.  What do you think?
