Just Us Girls #726 - Word Week

Stephanie is the host for Word Week at Just Us Girls and this is her chosen word.

I knew just what I wanted to use.

Eclectic Garden from Concord and 9th.  I've had this die set for a while and immediately made a card with it that has never been posted.  I think it's just been waiting for this challenge.  But this is not that card.  This is a new creation.  The flower bunch was cut three times in white and the blossoms colored in a variety of pastel Altenew inks, the leaves in two greens and the centers in charcoal.  I used my Clarity brushes to make a softly inked background and added a sentiment from Honey Bee.   

The gallery should be full of color and flowers this week, unless of course you make a vegetable garden. The Design Team has plenty of inspiration for you.  I hope to see you there.

Time Out #109

I'm off to the lake this morning to help get the dock in and do some cleaning but wanted to post my card for Time Out before I go.  This is their theme.

It was the word 'garden' that caught my eye and when I saw the sentiment from this PTI set I knew I had a card.

Popped up wisteria hang over a garden full of hollyhocks in various colors, all Altenew inks.

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great weekend.

CAS Watercolor - March

I'm in and out quickly this morning with my second entry into the CAS Watercolor Challenge - Garden.

I stamped the flowers from PB onto Bristol, colored them with Zigs and watercolored the lower portion of the background with Distress Inks.  So simple and fun to do.

Thanks for dropping by today.  I love it when you do.

CAS Watercolor - March

While making another card I ran across an image I thought would be perfect for the CAS Watercolor Challenge.  I've never inked it up so it's about time.

The little garden is from one of the PTI Jar filler sets, watercolored with Distress Inks on a die cut panel from Frantic Stamper.  The sentiment is from EbyE.  This is rather simplistic but I was happy to finally stamp out those cute little flowers.  Maybe I'll have time to do another card before the deadline.

Thanks for dropping by.  I love it when you do.
