Umbrella Card

Make It Monday #203: Doodling with Stamps. On the smooth side of a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper, I stamped the solid large umbrella from Scattered Showers with Harvest Gold, Hibiscus Burst and Limeade Ice, then went over them with an aqua brush. After they had dried I painted the sky with Stormy Sky smooshed on my craft mat and spritzed with water.

When everything had dried I doodled over the umbrellas a couple of times, stamped the handles and sentiment. This is such a fabulous technique.

Simon Says is having a "special lady/girly" challenge so I'm entering it there as well.

Papertrey Ink February 2015 Blog Hop

I'm in desperate need of spring. So I grabbed the opportunity for today's Papertrey Ink's February 2015 Blog Hop.

I painted the watercolor paper with Hibiscus Burst, Limeade Ice, Hawaiian Shores and Plum Pudding inks smooshed (separately) on the craft pad and spritzed with water.

Corner Chompers round the corners. Since I don't have the Quatrefoil Die, I substituted a die cut from Cricut Paper Lace cartridge, applied Tombow Multi-Glue and let it dry till it was tacky before applying to the watercolor paper.

The leafy tag with the butterfly and "Enjoy" are all from Tags for Spring stamped with Simply Chartreuse and Ocean Tides. The card base is Harvest Gold.
