Well I am slowly getting back to the swing of things but I still have very little done due to my youngest being sick:( I did take her to the Dr. this morning and it looks to be Strep Throat so I am hoping that she will now be on the mend. There is just so much I want to do and share that I learned at Convention so hopefully I will get to stamp something new soon.
Today is Wednesday so that means it's time for another great challenge at Stampin' Royalty. This week we have a sketch challenge for you to try. I actually created this one so hopefully you find some time to stamp and play along:)
Here's my card:
I had yet to actually play with some of the new In Colours and purple is really not one that I gravitate to but it is always fun to challenge my own creative style. Plus I am not that great at watercolouring, so I really challenged myself on this one, lol! I used Wisteria Wonder for the card base and wheeled it with the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel and matching ink, then sponged the edges of the card. The So Saffron DSP is from the Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper and I matted it on to Concord Crush.
For the main image I used the beautiful On The Grow stamp set and watercoloured it with several different ink pads and my Aqua Painter. I again sponged the edges then matted the circle on a Pool Party flower that had been die cut using the Island Floral Die and my Big Shot . I only cut out one flower but used my Paper Crimper to break down the fibres in the card stock then peeled it apart to create two "sueded" pieces. I love how this creates softness and texture.
