This month is Anything Goes or Thank You.
I used a Stampendous Stamp - CSD04 Bouquet & Mason Jar,
Scrapbook and Cards today Happy Easter / Spring sentiment,
Lawn Fawn Quilted Background,
Tim Holtz Distress Markers & Inks,
twine & washi tape by Recollections
& of course various papers.
I stamped my image on watercolour paper with Ranger Archival Ink.
I coloured in part of the image with the markers and
added more colour and shading with the ink pads using a water brush.
I notched the mason jar image at the bottom ring once cut out,
to have the twine sit in place as it would on a real jar.
The above card has two layers of pop-dots on the flowers & one on the jar.
I wanted the flowers to come off the page more than the jar.
I usually make the same size cards, so I thought i would shake it up a little,
the larger square card gives the jar more blank space surrounding it,
and makes more of a focal point.
When I stamped the image I coloured two,
as one usually turns out better than the other,
and I like to try to make more than one at a time.
I am really enjoying the watercolur with distress ink,
I may just need to do more of these!
Thank you for stopping by to see my creation
