Watercolor Cards

I have slowly been getting back into card making and wanted to put what I have to good use.  I have always loved floral images and the digi stamps from Power Poppy are beautiful. I love that digi stamps are so versatile and you can make them any size you want/need for any project.

I needed summer birthday cards and flowers always seem appropriate no matter what the occasion.  These make me smile as they are so realistic.  I have a healthy appreciation for anyone who can draw this beautifully - I was not blessed with artistic talent but I certainly recognize it in others!  I am so grateful that they are willing to share their gifts.

The images were cut out using the SCAL software and Silver Bullet Pro. The shapelies (nesting shapes) are from Penny Duncan Creations.

Watercolored with Spectrum Noir Aqua markers - still learning.

Geraniums from Power Poppy

Finished card with a little texture and bling added.

Another watercolor attempt with Power Poppy Gerbera Daisies.

Lots of dimension and bling in the centers and ribbon to accent.

Bouquet of Birthday Wishes...

Well there is clearly a theme going on with my birthday cards lately....... and that is... that they are arriving LATE....   I am really TRYING to be on time, and this one actually went out in the mail two days in advance, but chances are it will not make it there in time.

So the next best thing is to post it here with tons of birthday wishes and hope that makes up for the tardiness.......a little!

I am still working hard on the watercoloring.  I tried cold press with this card and it blended well, but it certainly does have more texture. I am still LOVING the Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers.

I entered this card in the Pop of Pastel Challenge by Power Poppy - my FIRST challenge!

I hope this card brings a smile to the face of this special friend, when it is finally in her hands.

In the meantime, Happy Birthday dear Nance!
