Seize the Birthday’s challenge is watercolors this time around. I had several (missed) opportunities to get a card up on their challenge site, but finally got one of the watercolored florals I created for the #100DayProject made into a card.
For my birthday, I received a couple very generous gift certificates from my children to Pinkfresh Studios. In my first order, the “Keep Going” stamp set arrived with this beautiful floral image:
I watercolored the image with the Karin brush markers. I’ve discovered, that for me, swiping the brush on a palette and picking it up with a brush or a waterbrush works much better than applying the watercolor directly on the image. I didn’t purchase the die for the set, so I fussy cut it before adding it to a Mix and Mat Oval frame by Papertrey Ink.
Recently, in one of my perpetual reorganizing efforts, I came across this beautiful, subtly striped gray cards. I’m guessing they are from Memory Box, but I can’t be sure. I loved the blue and white against the gray. A simple sentiment strip from Taylored Expressions finished it off.
This is so elegant looking and so well done Karen. What a great gift for a cardmaker that is for sure. That oval mat showcases it perfectly. So happy you played along at Seize the Birthday! I sure do appreciate it.
What generous children … this card is really lovely. I like the neutral grey/gray subtle background of the card, it really is sets off the flower.
Me too, really like it. It reminds me of a stained glass window!
Wow, your blue is striking. How nice to have florals that can go different orientations. It also reminds me of a stained glass window.
