May Sketch at Die Cuttin' Diva ~ Watercolor Flowers for You

Hello Crafty Friends,

It's Tuesday, which is our first of two FCAT Science days. I am being quite optimistic that my students do well since we have covered so much Science this year. Results will not be in for a month or longer, so the wait is going to be agonizing.

It is also Die Cuttin' Diva challenge day.

This Week's Challenge...

~ May Sketch ~

You can rotate or flip just as long as the layout is noticeable.

Here is my Design Team project...
I bought this Stampendous stamp this past weekend, so I could work on some watercoloring. First I stamped the image on watercolor paper and then used my Gansai Tambi paints. I cut the centered image with a MFT die.

I added a bit of Wink of Stella glitter to the roses.

The stamped sentiment is by Cardz TV.

I hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "May Sketch" challenge. Be sure to check out the other design team projects.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Just Because ~ Project of the Day #13

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are doing well. The news here in Central Florida continues to get more depressing, but we are keeping our heads up hoping for some good to come soon.

I have been staying inside during the day since it has been SUPER hot and watching some crafting videos. I found one called Scraps and Stamps and Theresa sent me a link to Justine's Crafts. Once you start watching those addicting videos then you have to watch another and then you have to try the techniques. As I watch each video, my list of supplies I need to purchase continues to grow.  

I am really enjoying water coloring, but decided to step it up a notch. I wanted to add heat embossing and coloring together, so I went to Michaels yesterday just to find a large flower stamp since I didn't want to wait to order one on-line. Found one! I really like this one by Stampendous ~ Daisy Thanks.

First, I used MFT Blueprint 20 to cut the scalloped edge from 140 lb Canson watercolor paper. Then I used my VersaMark and white ZING! embossing powder to stamp/heat the daisies. Rather than using watercolor paints, I used my mustard seed, frayed burlap, and salty ocean distress inks on an acrylic block to paint the flowers and the background.

The stamped sentiment is by JustRite ~ Large Fancy Sentiments set. Latte skittles by Carri were adhered with Tombow liquid glue. 

The card base is MFT 100 lb heavyweight card stock. I love ALL the colors in the sampler pack! This yellow is Lemon Drop.

Challenges: 

AAA Cards ~ Watercolors

This afternoon I plan on trying some blending to create backgrounds. Time to get inky!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
