Hello There, Vellum Flower!

Hi! I have a fun card I created using some stamps from The Alley Way Stamps!

I stamped the flower and leaves from the Flower Doodles set onto vellum and heat embossed it in white.  Then I used some Distress Markers along with water to create a translucent watercolor effect.

I used some black spray mist and a stencil to create the background and the sentiment is from Petal Pushers.

I'm entering this card in V's Sweet Ideas Anything Goes Challenge!

Lawnscaping Challenge #64

We're back with a brand spankin' new challenge over at the Lawnscaping Challenge Blog! Woot Woot!

Yay for Distress-ness!


We are sponsored by the always fabulous Lawn Fawn!

I used Distress Markers to color in the carousel (Admit One set and Admit One Lawn Cuts).  Then I heat embossed the ticket image and used Distress Markers and water to make them pop out of the background!

I hope you will play along with us!

Distress Markers as Watercolors

Hi!
Have you used Distress Markers yet? I picked up some a few weeks ago and I wanted to show you how I use them as watercolors!

If you aren't so great at painting, this gives you a little more control.  I stamped the hot air balloon from the new Blue Skies onto watercolor paper and then I cut it out using the coordinating die cut (Lawn Cut).

I started by coloring the marker in the areas that would be the darker areas.  I used Worn Lipstick, Broken China and Mustard Seed.

Then I just took a brush that had water on it and pulled the ink down.

I went back in a few times with a little more of the marker and did the same with the basket, too.

Then I stamped a cloud using Distress Ink (Broken China), took a water brush and messily added water to give it a watercolored look.  Cool, huh?

Here is the finished card:

I think it gives a soft, sweet look, like watercolors do, but this was faster (and easier!).
