Celebrate Watercolor

Hi friends and Happy Wednesday!  The girls over at SSINKspiration are celebrating Watercolor Wednesday and I have a fun card to share with you too!  My mom and aunt (yes, they are twins...twins run wild on my moms side!) will be celebrating their 60th birthday tomorrow (WOO-HOO) and I have the card I made for my aunt to share with you today.  {You'll have to wait until tomorrow to see my momma's card;-)}

I am addicted to the Watercolor Paper and have been burning through it like crazy lately.  Using the Autumn Accents Bigz, I cut out some leaves and acorn and totally saturated each one using my aqua painter. Then I dropped a little drop of color straight from the re-inker on to each leaf and let them spread around to create their own colors...it was a little messy, but I love the end result!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Crushed Curry, Watercolor Paper

Ink ~ Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Crumb Cake

Fab and Fresh Fall Friday

While we have yet to have fall like weather here, it is Friday and that is fabulous!!!  Even though it's still been pretty darn hot here, I'm still in fall mode in so many ways...cooking, coffee, clothes and cards!

With my pumpkin spice coffee in hand, I have a fall card to share with you this morning.  My inspiration for today's card came from the fresh and clean sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the yummy fall colors from Fab Friday.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Sweater Weather DSP, Champagne Glimmer Paper

Ink ~ Chocolate Chip, Soft Suede, Tangerine Tango, VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Four You, Gorgeous Grunge

Other Supplies ~ Autumn Accents, Neutrals Buttons, Linen Thread, Gold Embossing Powder

 

I sponged the leaves and crumpled them up to give them a bit of texture...I have such a hard time with a "flat" card sometimes!  Anyone else have that problem?

 

This card will also be submitted in this weeks  Friday Mashup Challenge...Thinking of You.  October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness and FMU is giving this month great honor.  This card was made for my dear friend who just lost her unborn grandson.  My heart aches for her daughter and all of their family.  I know all too well what it feels like to lose a baby during pregnancy...I hope my card brings a little comfort and peace to my friend and her family.  I will also be creating another card to send to Heidi to send to her local HANDS charity.  Hugs to any of you who may have suffered the loss of a pregnancy or baby...

 

Happy Friday and Happy Stamping!
