World Cardmaking Day

A couple of Saturdays ago was World CardMaking day. I would love to have had a long period of time to make several cards, but I didn't have that kind of time that day. I did sneak in one card, though.

This one is influened by Lisa Spangler (https://sideoatsandscribbles.wumple.com/) from Texas. The state outline is from Studio Calico. The mountains in the state are made from curved lines drawn with zig clean color real brush markers with the color spread out using a waterbrush. 

I like the look of the card and have already sent it off to remind someone far away that he is thought about.

Watercolor Cards

I've been playing around with drawing and watercolor - oddly enough, with fruit images.

Peony Time

This might be one of my favorite cards.

I stamped the Penny Black Poppy Time stamp with Hero Arts black ink on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper. I painted the flower and background with Mijello Mission Gold watercolors.

The panel is popped up on the card base with craft foam. The card base is MFT Fuse green card stock - I never thought I would use that color, but it was perfect for this card.
