Watercolor Card - Landscape

I whipped up some waterolor paper this morning.  I used 140lb cold press paper measuring 11x15 inches.  Fortunately, I unpacked my glass shelf and a couple of plastic craft work sheet and taped the paper down.

I decided to use some Stampin Up reinker in water based dye ink which works the same as watercolor but will match the card stock I have.  I chose Always Artichoke, Only Orange, Baroque Burgundy. 

I used regular salt on one sheet, coarse salt on another and cling wrap on other.

I trimmed the watercolor paper after I decided what my bottom layers were going to be. I chose deep green card stock, deep red card stock and More Mustard card stock.  Ripped the top edges and layered them front to back and then taped the back with clear tape. I trimmed the watercolor paper to fit just below the top edge of the accent. I adhered it to a More Mustard card base in the A7 size. I adhered the ripped paper accent to the bottom of the card. With the scrap of green I cut a Sizzix Pine Small which I inked the edges with Always Artichoke ink pad. I then glued it in place ont the right hand side. I punched a 1 inch circle from Summer Sun card stock and adhered it on the left hand side. I then used the watercolor I had used this morning and painted with like colors to help it blend in the sky. I added 3 birds with my black Micron marker.

I put it to press for several hours. I gave it a white insert and a warm yellow envelope. I will see her tomorrow! Yeah!

Card Making - Card Sets Continue

Still working with the Friends and Flowers Simply Scrapping Kit. 

The card base color is Certainly Celery. I added a layer of vellum from the SU Botanical Garden Vellum 6 inch pack. Using the large orange flower stickers in the kit I was able to add double sided tape to the back of the vellum to ensure it stayed in place. The photo corners are stickers from the scrapping kit.  Left Tempting Turquoise and right Only Orange.  I added small leaf stickers to both cards. Again, I am alternating the orientation to ensure variety. 

There is a lot of stuff in these scrapping kits. 

Here the card base is A2 and the color is So Saffron. Left is turquoise floral desinger paper with yellow scallop stickers above and bellow the square sticker. I added the same DSP over the square and then a yellow flower sticker onto the DSP.  The other has a turquoise square sticker and the same floral DSP. Another smmal flower sticker.

White quarter sheet inserts and white envelopes.
