I wanted to do another card using the watercolor technique I used yesterday. Today’s card however is meant to be a simple note card so it has no sentiments or stamping and uses only the Meadows Dies and only three colors of ink and cardstock.
Here is what I came up with…
The card base is Bumble Bee cardstock that is cut 5 ½
x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. The second layer
is Evening Evergreen cut to 4 x 5 ¼” (again we are going to wait to adhere this
layer until it is fully assembled). I
cut tow of the flowers and the fern from the Meadows Dies out of Fluid 100
Watercolor paper. I then used the same
technique and tools as yesterdays card (Water Painters, Stampin’ Spritzer, and
inks) to color my flowers and fern. One
thing I have always been told is not to be afraid of a little white (hard for a
type A personality let me tell you) and so I did that this time and I love the
affect. I colored the flowers using So
Saffron and Bumble Bee ink and the fern was colored using Evening Evergreen (very
watered down) ink. Once they were all
dried, I arranged them on my Evening Evergreen layer.
I added a piece of the Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Ribbon
around the layer and tied a square knot.
I then added this layer to my base using Dimensionals. To finish off my card I added five of the
Champaign Rhinestone Basic Jewels. So,
as you can see this was a pretty simple card to create and could be done in
tons of different colors. I am thinking
I might like to make a set of these in different colors to give as gifts, after
all, we all need note cards from time to time.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making
it. As always you can find the supplies
