Just Add Water

I can’t believe how long it has taken me to play along with Karen’s ‘Just Add Water challenge’ at One Layer Simplicity. Considering how often I use watercolour these days I should have several cards linked by now! Seems they have all been more than one layer lately.
Using watercolour paper as my card base I taped off a panel in the centre of the card front. I pulled out a stamp I hadn’t tried before, ‘Noble’ from the PB Happy Everything release, inked it with Memento markers and spritzed it with water. I added a few highlights to the leaves, a three sided border with a watercolour pencil and flicked a little extra colour around also. I decided the sentiment could be all watery too so inked it with two greens, spritzed it and stamped.
If you haven’t already played along head over to One Layer Simplicity now; you still have a week to get involved.
Supplies:
Stamps: Noble, Thinking of You (PB)
Inks: Memento Bamboo Leaves, Olive Grove, Angel Pink, Lilac Posies (Tsukineko)
Pencils: Albrecht Durer Olive green (Faber-Castell)
Paper: Fabriano 25% cotton hot pressed watercolour paper

Oh wow this is absolutely gorgeous. So soft and pretty. I really like the extra colour you flicked around too.
beautifully done. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely card. I can’t wait to give it a try! Thank you.
Very pretty… I like the definition you added to the frame with the pencilled outline.
Stunning card!
Lovely water color! I love how you added the frame on 3 sides and water flicking on the other side; it gives a very painterly effect!
Stunning, Heather! It looks like a real pressed flower! What a gorgeous stamp too
It doesn’t matter how long it took you to create this card, it became a gorgeous flowercard in the end. That’s what matters in the end.
