Water Colored Flowers


I joined a water colour card swap on one of the rubber stamp Yahoo groups I belong to. It had been a long time since I had used water colours on  a card.   

 To create my card I scribbled my chosen  colours with my Caran d' Ache Neocolor 11 Crayons on to an acrylic block.  My next step was to spritz  my acrylic block with water and stamp it on a piece of water colour paper.  

 Once the paper was dry I stamped my flower stamp by Stampendous with Stazon inks. To colour my flowers I used a paint brush and painted the flowers with my crayons. The butterfly was die cut of some of the left over water colour paper when I made my card. The sentiment and the die to cut out the sentiment were by Stampin Up. 

 Thank you for stopping by and have a very creative day.  

 I am entering this card in the following challenges:

    I just love this Judy, apart from using my all time fav stamp Stampendous P107 Agapanthus Cluste (I know I am a tad sad), the colours you have used are a delight.

    Thanks so much for joining in and sharing your lovely work with us at FlonzCraft Vintage Stamping Challenges.

    This is a very pretty watercolor card. Great use of including the butterfly in the same watercolor paper. Thanks for playing at The Pink Elephant Challenge for Anything Goes this week! Nance, DT
