Hey there!! Popping in with a card to share. This one is for the current Where Creativity Meets C9 challenge, Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches. I have been working on watercoloring, again. Not sure if I'm improving much, but I'm having fun!! I absolutely love the Concord & 9th Hello Lovely stamp set and just had to watercolor it for the WCMC9 challenge. I have a couple of Daniel Smith dot palettes from Simon Says Stamp and I used those to watercolor all the flowers in the CTD colors. The image was stamped using VersaFine Smoky Gray. I seem to be using that ink a lot lately... I just love it! When the image was dry I trimmed it down and then die cut the center flower using an AJVD Polka Dot circle backdrop die. Because I wanted the watercoloring to show through I used vellum for the strip elements found in the FMS sketch. I adhered the main panel flat to the cardstock base, added the vellum strips and then adhered the circle with foam dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black. I finished will some tiny Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins. Also adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.
Supplies: Cardstock: SSS fog, Canson watercolor paper; Stamps: Concord & 9th; Ink: VersaFine; Watercolor medium: Daniel Smith; Sequins: Pretty Pink Posh
