Hello! Popping in with a card for a few challenges: Color Throwdown, Freshly Made Sketches and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. Feels like I haven't played along with any challenges in ages, but that really isn't the case. Just haven't posted much on my blog, I guess. Love the pretty palette over at Color Throwdown and just had to make something. I pulled out the pretty Simon Says Stamp Sketch Ranunculus stamp set and did a lot of stamping and masking. The ink I used is my favorite black ink VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne. Love how beautifully it stamps... even on watercolor paper! Once that was done I did some simple watercoloring using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. When the piece was dry I trimmed it down to fit the FMS layout. To bring some additional blue into the card I watercolored a strip of watercolor paper with the blue I used for the little berries. Because of the way I stamped the flowers and leaves I decided to flip the sketch on its side. Not super happy with where I had to stamp the sentiment, but that is the spot where it fit the best. Think I will add this to Simon Says Stamp's Work it Wednesday, too.
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI rustic white; Canson watercolor; Stamps: Simon Says Stamp; Ink: VersaFine CLAIR; Watercolor medium: Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors
