Funny Old Lady Birthday Cards, CAS, Clean and Simple and Fun!

 

The sentiment was borrowed from Ranger company, the above image is from Inky Antics and was watercolored. The bird image below is from Tim Holtz Bird Crazy set, was colored with Copic Markers, and the sentiment was printed out with my Label Maker.

 

The image below is also from Inky Antics and was watercolored.

 

This flower is from an Inkadinkadoo acrylic set, was watercolored, and the sentiment is from an old Stampin' Up set. I like to add a bow made of craft thread to all of my cards.

"Hooray For You" CAS Card

 

Here is a CAS (clean and simple) card that can be used for many occasions.

The Stampin' Up image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on watercolor paper, and then watercolored. Layers from my scrap drawer.

 

Congratulations to all graduates!

Clean and Simple Watercolor Cards!

Here are a few more examples of my journey on learning the basics of water coloring.  I am enjoying this very much in spite of the fact that I have created so many muddy messes because I am too impatient to allow the watercolor medium to DRY completely before adding another color!  My bad! 

The first five cards are from Art Impressions using their rubber stamps and WC markers. Please visit their website and videos if you want to see lovely, true examples of what I'm working towards.

The next two cards were created using Rubber Stampede and Stamps N' More rubber stamps. I stamped the images with Memento Black Tuxedo ink and used a  Crayola kids, cake watercolor kit from Walmart.

These last two cards used Stampin' Up images with the same ink and watercolor. Martha Stewart punch around the page paper punches were also used.

So much to learn...so much fun!

More to come!
