CASology #209: WATERCOLOR

Hello, friends!  Just stopping by today with my cards for the latest CASology cue card! Break out your watercolors, I predict it's going to be a popular week!


I decided to make a set of cards while I had out my Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous "Bird Crazy"stamps.  For my watercoloring, I used my kraft mat, Tim Holtz distress inks in many different colors, and a cup of water.  I smooshed the ink pads on the kraft mat, then dipped my paint brush in water and then into the inks to paint my images.  I added some watercolor splatters to the background for some fun, too!


I'm going to enter this first card into the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge #50 since I used a Simon Says Stamp sentiment (from the "Handwritten Sentiments" set).

While I was at it, I made two more cards with these silly birds...this time pairing them with sentiments from the My Favorite Things "Gifting Fun" stamp set.  I know they may be a bit snarky, but I find my teenagers often go to birthday parties where the preferred gift is often cash or a gift card.  (Now that they are driving, they all appreciate cash for gas money or the local pizza place next door to their high school!)

I thought these cards were cool enough for teens, what do you think?

This fella looks like he's breaking a sweat trying to figure out what gift to get...I've been in his shoes, trust me!


Indeed...who doesn't love a card with money inside?


Here is my set of watercolored bird birthday cards all together:


I'm going to enter these cards into the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where "Anything Goes."


I can't wait to see your WATERCOLOR cards this week!  Be sure to link up your card by noon on Monday (Central time). You will also be inspired by the many ways our Design Team and Guest Designer interpreted the cue this week...be sure to check out their blogs, too!
