Watercoloring with real water colour paints and stamp resist technique
I haven't painted in a while and though that I should. I stamped the butterflies with versa mark ink and then heat embossed them so that they would create a resist with the paints. Not bad! I still like the distressed ink techniques better but I wanted to test out different mediums!

Watercolour backed card
I saw that at So Suzy Stamps, the blog hop for March is using watercolored techniques so I decided to use some stamps that I recently purchased from them and get to work.
Once again, I took some watercolored card stock and stamped my two So Suzy Stamps on them. I embossed them with Stampendous Detail white embossing powder and heat set it.
I then put a lot of water on my paper and used Mustard seed and Fired Brick distressed inks with a paint brush. I played around with water to get the splotches in the background and the stamped images acted as a resist which gave them the nice look.
I thought the background needed something more so I attached some DCWV twine around the card and some sequins (from michaels).
I attached it to the card using foam tape.
I just love the watercolored backgrounds and will hopefully continue to when I get more time!

Cute little kids birthday card
I've been interested in using markers for colours but wasn't going to foot the bill. I did however find some Spectrum Noir markers at Winners for $7.99 a pack and thought what the heck! I do love how they blend together and I also like the shadowing effect as well.
I thought this would be a cute little card for a child.
I took some Staples brand 110b card stock and cut it in half at 4.25 inches vertical. I then scored it into a top folding card.
Then a embossed the circle happy birthday stamp with green Zinc embossing powder. The embossing powder did not stick as much as I hand planned but I actually like how it turned out because it is subtle and not so evident. I then cut some green card stock in that trapezoid type shape and adhered it to the card base.
I stamped the happy birthday in Momento black dye ink and attached the animals with foam tape (after I had stamped and coloured them in!)
I have been obsessed with sequins lately hence the adding sequins and made sure there were groups of three.
Thats it folks! Hope you like it!

Anyone need some sunshine?
I am super ecstatic at how this turned out! In hind sight though, I think I would have used a bigger sentiment stamp. This was my faux watercolour technique where I used mustard seed and fired brick distressed inks along with the recollections yellow shimmer spray. I painted the flowers which were stamped and embossed in Stamp Stuff gold and then flicked some more of the inks at splatter. I added some sequins and backed it on yellow card stock! What a nice spring time card!
