Grateful for You

I am grateful that I had a little time to stamp today! There are so many challenges out there in blogland and I created this card for a few of them:

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Just Us Girls - Leaves

Addicted to CAS - Watercolor

One Layer Simplicity Challenge - Fall colors (yellow, orange, red)

Virginia's View Challenge - Focal Point

CAS Watercolor Challenge - Autumn

I used the Simon Says Stamp / Altenew Be-Leaf Me stamp set and distress inks to create this card. This is a layered stamp set and so easy and fun to use! I spritzed the stamp after inking to create the watercolor on the leaves. I finished it off with a few sequins.

Thanks for coming by!

Just a Note

This is for a few challenges:

Less Is More - Flowers

CASology - Flower

The Paper Players - Clean and Simple Florals

One-Layer Simplicity Challenge - Fabulous Florals

Fusion Card Challenge 

I used the black outline flower image from Rubbernecker Stamps.  There are three more steps to this set but I decided to put to use some of the information that I learned in the Online Card Class - Watercoloring for Cardmakers.  I took a clean wet paint brush and painted water over each flower, one at a time.  I then added a pink ink (wet on wet) then a washed out red and then a undiluted red - all wet on wet.

For the Fusion challenge I concentrated on the colors - black, red and white and since there was music I used the sentiment "Just a Note".
