In keeping with my resolve to mix up my card layouts a wee bit I have a triptych inspired card to share. I painted the roses on a piece of watercolour paper, added leaves and blue flowers (not sure what they might be) then decided to find some inspiration on my ‘sketchy’ pinterest board. I sliced my panel into three strips of the same width then trimmed the ends so each would be a different length. The sentiment fitted quite nicely in one of the white spaces. I stamped the sentiment once in green then over the top in blue which gave me the bluey-green I was after to match my paint. I think the colours are soft enough to join in with the ‘pastels’ challenge on Less is More this week.
I hope you are having a lovely day.
Supplies:
Stamps: Happy Snippets, (PB)
Ink: Majestic Blue, Olympia Green Versafine inks (Tsukineko)
Paint: Sakura Koi watercolours
Paper: Heavy weight water media paper (Ken Oliver), Neenah SolarWhite 110lb cardstock, green cardstock

Beautiful – so pretty and love the layout
Tlhis is so so pretty Heather and I love the pink with the purple and soft green in the background and you have made it that bit different by cutting into three uneven pieces which looks great! x
So very pretty! Really enjoying your cards!
So soft and pretty, Heather! Happy Mother’s Day!
Nicely done Heather….hope you are having a wonderful Mother’s Day!

Really beautiful.
This is stunning. I love the soft watercolour and striking, unusual layout. Beautifully done and a great LIM entry!
Such an amazing creation, Heather! Thank you for all the inspiration!!
Lovely! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!
Such a clever layout. The soft colours really work with this stamp.
This is just beautiful, Heather! Love the soft colours and outlines, and your clever use of the watercolour panel. This design would work with so many of the watercolour or other media bits and pieces we play with.
What a gorgeous water coloured image. 🙂
Wow Heather, it’s great to see you at LIM again with this stunner. What amazing watercolour technique with such fab gentle colours!
Thanks so much
