stamp - *new*Something to Say; ink - *new*Hello Honey; Stampin' Write markers - *new*Hello Honey, *new*Lost Lagoon, *new*Tangelo Twist; card stock - *new*Hello Honey, *new*Lost Lagoon, Watercolor paper; other supplies - Aquapainter, Simply Scored borders plate, paper-piercing tool, *new*Eclectic paper-piercing template, Big Shot with Hearts A Flutter framelit, Stampin' dimensionals
I used CAS(e) This Sketch! #78, and I thought these rich new colors would look great in watercolor for Just Add Ink. I was seriously disappointed with my first attempt to free-hand watercolor those wavy lines, but I really did like the idea of wavy lines. When I remembered the Simply Scored borders plate has an overlay plate that will work as a stencil, I broke out the markers and then used the Aquapainter to spread the color out - I like it!
I also love "old" - old books, old houses, old friends. I've not been as active with my old & first favorite challenge at Jingle Belles as I'd like, but I thought this old favorite stamp set was perfect for their Peace on Earth challenge:
stamp set - Peaceful Season (hostess, retired); ink - *new*Mossy Meadow, Versamark; card stock - *new*Mossy Meadow, Naturals White, Brushed Gold; Big Shot with Deco Labels framelits, Stamkpin' dimensionals
I used the scrumptious *new*Blackberry Bliss last month for the Watercooler Blog Hop but I hadnt' tried Mossy Meadow yet - it's just as rich and yummy as the others - I'm sure you'll want them all, and they're available now!
This is so cute, Kathe! I love that you used the borders plate as a stencil. Very "artsy" look to the card, too. TFS!!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun watercolor card! I forget how easy it is to be creative with watercolor paper. Wonderful card!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the card, Kathe. The undulating lines of watercolour are perfect! Using the new Eclectic paper-piercing template around the banner is just the right finishing touch. So glad you're participating in the Challenge.
ReplyDeleteKathe thanks so much for joining our new challenge and I look forward to seeing many new ideas from you in future challenges. I liked your wavy line idea. I have already forgotten about the wavy line template, thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI love your card, Kathe! I would never have thought to use the Borders Plate! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteYou're so smart to use the plate as a stencil! I'm going to have to steal that idea for sure. You cards look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Kathe! I love watercolour and the colours you used work very well together.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I especially like the first one -- such a fun take on the sketch!

The mossy meadow is an awesome green ... and I love that scripty font ... so very glad you joined us at jingle belles.
ReplyDeleteKathe - I just popped back over to say please don't be embarrassed about my name - I think the fact that you noticed is praiseworthy so thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI too like that you used the plate as a stencil. Bought it and haven't used it...so this gives me a reason! TFS
ReplyDeleteYou convinced me, Mossy Meadow really is scrumptious. I love the use of the stencil for your wavy lines also - mine have never worked before.
