Fun with Flowers


I seem to be in a floral mood this weekend.  My last few cards have all been on a floral theme.    I wanted to get a couple of last minute entries into the Hero Arts sketch challenge using some watercolour techniques.  Both the following cards used Sketch #2

 

HA Sketch #2

This one used the Hydrangea stamp and Distress and Tombow markers to colour up the stamp and water to activate the inks to blend.  Sentiment was white embossed.  I added to a dry embossed card for some texture.

Dogwood

I used a similar technique with the Dogwood stamp for this one.  The pink was a Marvy Marker and the green a Distress marker.  For the tag I traced around a Tim Holtz die cut tag and then hand cut it around the flowers.  Added the faux stitching and some gems.  Very CAS for this one.  As it is CAS I will enter into the CAS-olgy challenge Cue Word Flowers.
