More From the Watercolor Card Class

I haven’t quite finished watching all the videos from the last day of the Online Card Class:  Exploring Mediums, but I have two more cards to share. The first one is another from Day 1, using gold embossing and watercolor markers.

I’ve become a fan of Simon Say’s “One With Nature” set. I die cut the solid leaf shape from a piece of Memory Box paper in my scrap pile. After embossing and watercoloring the leaf on Tim Holtz watercolor paper, I mounted it behind the green layer and bumped it out onto a white top-folding card. The sentiment is from Papertrey’s “Petite Pots.” A rather artsy interpretation of a fall leaf.

When I was watching Jen Razsa’s video yesterday for Day 3 on using colored pencils, I had no intention of trying to draw a design for a card. Later, though, I came upon a pumpkin image on the internet, and thought I’d give it a try. Like most new techniques, I learned a lot doing this, and would make some changes the next time. 

I drew and colored the pumpkins with a combination of Inktense and Staedler watercolor pencils. The sentiment came from two Simon Says sets, “Giving Thanks,” and “Happy.” I’m a little happier with the splatter on this card than I was on the last one.

I tried a couple of other techniques but didn’t come up with anything that was worthy of including on a card. There’s still a lot to try. All of the Online Card classes include a lot of content!
