PTI Anniversary Water color Challenge # 3

I couldn't resist trying Betsy's technique again...this time I used Larger than Life and the bow from Bells and Boughs.  The sentiment is from Heart 2 Heart # 3.  I white embossed the images first, then inked up the stamp with winter wisteria and simply chartreuse, after stamping them I used a water brush with some more ink on an acrylic block.  The bow was rubbed with the ink pad and then swiped with the water brush...the outline is stamped with royal velvet ink.

PTI Anniversary Watercolor Challenge Card 2

Using the same Wildflower Garden set, I tried to do what Betsy did with her card.  I white embossed the flowers first, then using the ink and water I applied the ink to the stamp and stamped it just off set from the embossed image.  To make the embossed image pop a little more, I used a dauber and added some lemon tart to the bottom of the card, spring moss to the middle and spring rain only to the portion where the flowers bloom.  My sentiment from iconic Images is stamped on vellum, I added two pearls on each side that I colored with a copics, Mauve Shadaow.

PTI Anniversary Watercolor # 1

Today's contest is all about Watercolor.  They have a new stamp set being released on the 15th and it is called Watercolor Wonder.  We were challenged to make some water color cards today.
Here is my first one:

I used the Wildflower Garden stamp set...I put some re-inkers onto a plastic sheet and using a water brush, I brushed on the ink to the stamp.  When it was dry I added some stickles to give it a little shine. The paper is water color paper.

PTI Anniversary Color Inspiration # 2

Brighter colors this time around...I pulled out Day Dreamer and went to town...managed to get all the colors in too!  The sentiment is from Happy Trails.

I loved all the soft colors shown here, I decided ONE more valentine card...or just an any day kind of card to give to a special person...sentiment is from Happy Trails and the hearts are from Heart 2 Heart # 3.  A clean and simple card.

Third Card for the PTI Sketch Contest

Well, holy moley, I must be brain dead or something...this was a toughie for me to figure out...lining up those angles was not easy, I finally had to go ask DH for some help...of course he just took my pencil and ruler and drew the lines...not ONE eraser mark!  Geesh!!
