So I'm a day late for the Try It Out Tuesday challenge for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design (due to electric & internet issues) but I got it done. I challenged the DT to only color their stamped images by watercoloring only--fun challenge! We all get so used to whipping out our Copics but sometimes it's good to mix it up! I used one of the new Victoria Case for SCACD stamps "Singin' in the Rain"--isn't she a cutie & perfect for watercoloring! I watercolored using my SU reinkers and then added some diamond stickles on the puddles, polka-dots & umbrella! 
The papers are from Paper Trey Ink as is the Get Well sentiment (Around & About Sentiments). I cut out & popped up the umbrella for more dimension & added some Bella Baubles (String of Pearls). Perfect for a get well card!! Make sure and stop by the store blog "Follow Your Heart" to see the rest of the DT's absolutely beautiful watercolored projects!!
The second card today is just a fun card/invite I made thinking of summer parties & barbecues to come--this would be a perfect invitation for either! Not hard to mass produce, simple, fun & elegant! I used Lockhart's Itty Bitty stamps (hamburger, hotdog & pizza) and they're actually watercolored, lol! Very hard to do on these little images (pizza toppings were done with Copics though)! I paired them up with PTI's kraft and red cs & twill ribbon. The background was embossed with my Cuttlebug embossing folder to add some more texture! Perfect for a simple invitation!!I hope you're having a fabulous day & I'll see ya back here tomorrow!!

Suzanne

And I must say you are clever on the weight loss front!!! You go girl!
Love your card Suzanne and glad that you got the power back. Also -congratulations on the weight loss - I guess colouring pizza, hamburgers etc instead of eating them is the way to go...hihi....

These cards are so cute and your watercoloring is awesome. So controlled. I think mine would be too watery or inconsistent with the colors but yours look fab. Hope the weather gets better...but, rainy days are good to stay in and make cards IMHO! Hugs, Cami
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are really cute!! Love that umbrella girl. She's so sweet!!
