Happy Anniversary

I have a few partially-made anniversary cards... here's one I completed in a single session!!!

My crafting time has been so limited... more than ever. Usually I am pretty good about finishing a project over multiple sessions, but lately I need to dive in and complete something in one session because I either need a card,  or I realize I won't be able to see a project through.  It's a sad craft-addict problem I'm having.

This is the card I made this morning:

Supplies:

  • Cheap, thin watercolor paper 
  • Background punched with Tim's dies then smooshed in Peeled Paint Distress Stain misted with high quality H2O
  • Roses painted with Aged Mahogany, Worn Lipstick + Dried Marigold, and Scattered Straw DI and a Kuretake water brush.  The colors were really subdued, so I added some Aged Mahogany and Spiced Marmalade Distress Stain.  
  • After the flowers were painted,  I doodled their shape a little more with a Micron 005
  • I popped the flowers up with some 3M foam tape
I'll share this with the folks at Cupcake Inspiration, and also with the folks at CAS Watercolor... here are their graphics:

  3. Great design Mimi!! The sentiment aperture looks awesome with the smooshed green paint (must be the high qulality H2O you used!). :) Roses are really beautiful. Adding the doodling really makes them special. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
