Beauty everywhere,



Oh, the rain has made it all green and beautiful. The sound of lawn mower and the smell of fresh cut grass felt so good. It was a long time since I heard and smell them.

And then, look at the Dostamper Stars 179 inspiration? It screams spring all over. I want to create a watercolor feel card, and I believe I did it. How? Well, I used watercolor paper, spritz water all over it, blotted out a bit and went about stamping. When the paper got a bit dry, I spritz some more water and the stamped images got better and better. This type of technique works really well with 2-steps stamp such as the What I love stamp set.  Actually, this is a 3-step stamp, but I only did 2 as my goal was to have the watercolor effect and not a sharper image. Love this technique and I will be using it more soon.

Thank you for visiting today. Get more inspiration form all the other Dostamper Stars and please do come again. Be well

Lovely bouquet! - Day 5 of Wedding Week



Well, the week is going by too fast, but we still have couple days left to our Wedding card week. Have you found a favorite so far? Today's card was created using the ColourQ Challenge 255 as inspiration.

Absolutely lovely! I can almost feel and smell the warmth of the sun during an outdoor wedding and the breeze blowing the scent of beautiful flowers! A day to never forget!
Tips and Tricks:
  • When doing watercolor, I take my time. I painted one flower at a time changing color each time. This was easier for me to keep a good mixture of the colors of the challenge.
  • The watercolor picture gave all this card needed. The small Happiness sentiment is the representative of how I felt when I completed the card!
