3 Challenges, ONE Card. What a Challenge!

A Little Note

It's going to be hard to top the "Make Your Own Bunnies" Card and Video I posted yesterday, but I think you will be very pleased with this little card. I enjoyed yet another challenge of incorporating more than one challenge into one card. Here were the requirements of the 3 challenges:

*Blank Slate* #062
How easy was that? The sky really was the limit on this one!
*Sketch with any shape Tag* #SOC224


*Let it Grow* #GDP227
Projects that feature let it grow
So maybe this one wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I choose the Painted Poppies (all supplies listed below) and the Honey Bee Designer Series Paper.
(Free Sale-a-Bration item right now).

I stamped the Poppies in Versamark, then heat set with Gold Embossing Powder. I very loosely watercolored them with Merry Merlot & Rococo Rose with an Aquapainter. The sentiment "a little note" is from the January Paper Pumpkin "I'll Be Yours" which I also embossed in gold. The Bee is from Butterfly Gala, which I embossed with Black Embossing Powder. I added the little dashes to create movement with a black marker. Then I placed the sentiment strip on the Honey Bee DSP, added some retired gold twine, then splattered some Rich Gold on the background. It came together pretty easily and anyone can recreate this quite easily. 
I hope it inspires you to play along in ANY of the challenges, or ALL of them! lol
Let me know if you play along, I would love to see what you create.
Thanks for visiting me on my Blog today =)
Happy Stampin'!

Card Sketch #6 - Poppin' Poppies #MIF006

Watercolored Backgrounds for Flowers

In my video, I totally forgot to mention that this card was made from the card sketch I designed for my Facebook Group Users (They get it a day or two before I post it anywhere else) but here it is just the same =)
If you want to play along I would love to see what you create! Share a link below in the comments 
or join my Facebook Group - My Inkie Fingers and share it there. 
For my card today, I decided to watercolor on some Canson XL Watercolor Paper (I will link the Stampin' Up! Watercolor below. I'm out of it, but it is great for creating backgrounds just like this one). It was a 6 step process. I added 4 layers of color, then 2 layers of "Splatter". I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out. I may even spend an afternoon and make up a bunch to have on hand to use for flowers and leaves in the future.

I hope you try this out. 
I promise you will not be disappointed! 
The outcome is absolutely stunning!
Don't you just LOVE all those layers and dimensions? This card really "POPS"!
