Today's card uses basically the same sketch I used yesterday, only I moved the sentiment a bit, played with the colors, and used completely different mediums. So, in other words, it's the same, but different.
Here is a reminder of the inspiration picture just in case you were a slacker yesterday and didn't see my post yet. (Yeah, dude. I totes just called you out for that. I mean, seriously, it's not like you can't browse blogs while you watch the Emmy's. They are mostly boring, anyway. For reals.)
I used some awesome stamps from Winnie & Walter and distress inks to get the watercolor look on these. I generally prefer to use watercolor paints over inks, but with these layering stamps, it was SO easy to use the inks for a great look!
I added a touch of clear Wink of Stella to the banner and to the sentiment for just a bit of lovely shimmer. I just LOVE sparkle! I also used the same woodgrain paper that I used yesterday, from Carta Bella's Sew Lovely collection. This is a surprisingly useful paper pad to have around. I really like it, and I totally don't sew, dudes.
So, there you have it! Between yesterday and today two pretty different cards that are actually pretty much the same. Fun stuff, folks. Fun. Stuff. You can find a full list of supplies I used for this card below in the links.
Have a Happy!
Hey, you're getting the hang of this watercolor thing :) love it!

ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card! I love how the sentiment looks like you watercolored it freehand. Such a lovely take on the inspiration photo!

ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous! Loving the watercolor on this
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool Jen! I love those flowers! Great card girlie!
ReplyDeleteDude, this is all kinds of awesome. I *love* how you took what feels like a 'heavy' dress and created a light and airy card by bringing the colours out of it, and the flowers, but without it being overpowering! Seriously awesome! Thanks for strutting your stuff with us at Runway Inspired Challenge!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! But also a little edgy with the sentiment hanging out over the banner. Thanks so much for joining us on the Runway!
