The Challenge #7 {Watercoloured Thank You}


Here are the Sketch Measurements:
Card Base- 4" x 5.5"
White Panel- 3.5" x 5.5"

Happy Monday! This week, for Sketch #7, I am leaving the layers behind and tackling watercolouring...for my mom! Yep, she told me yesterday that she wished I would make some watercoloured type of cards...so I went to work with my Tim Holtz distress inks and some pretty new stamps from My Favorite Things. I inked up each stamped image with layers of colour...so they would bleed into eachother. I am so happy with how it turned out.

{Supplies Used}
Stamps: My Favorite Things (Wildflowers)
Inks: Tim Holtz
Papers: SU! Rich Razzleberry, White
Extras: NONE

I went through about 9 pieces of paper...NINE, before I got the combo of ink and stamped images I wanted...such a waste (don't worry I recycled).

Say Watt? card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from My Favorite Things

I also asked my pal, Lori Tecler to join me this week and to design something with the sketch! Love her "brilliant" card- isn't it adorable!
