The Paper Players #241: Clean and Simple Watercolor

Hello, friends!  On this glorious Sunday I am taking a time out from my daily activities (i.e., laundry, cleaning, driving kids around) to make and share a quick card.  I saw that Nance's theme this week at The Paper Players is to make a clean and simple card using watercolor techniques.  I'm in!


For my card, I inked up an old Hero Arts flower with LePlume markers, then spritzed with water to make it look watercolored when I stamped it.  The sentiment is Hero Arts as well.

Supplies:
Hero Arts "Jamaican Forget Me Not," ""Decorate It Message Stamps"
Lil' Inkers Stitched Rectangles dies
LePlume markers, water sprayer, black gems




Thanks for stopping by!

    Pretty card Judy!! I like the bright happy colors and your watercolored flower. The little enamel dots were the perfect accent. You've inspired me to give this challenge a go. I don't like the lack of control with watercoloring...but I'll take a deep breath...maybe two!!

    Lovely card, Judy! The pop of black is fabulous with the bright colors and I like the idea of watercoloring with a spritz and a stamp! Thank you for joining my challenge at The Paper Players!

    This is wonderful--and I see that today you did the water yourself! Love that watery and dreamy look.

    What a lovely blended effect on your flower as a result of the spritzing technique you used. I love the contrast between the black and brights too. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players this week!
