CAS Watercolour March Challenge ~ Garden

Saturday morning here and I have a few minutes to squeak in a watercolor card for this months CAS Watercolour March Challenge.

Friends it is all about "garden" this month because I think we are all looking forward to seeing the pops of color come through the earth, dirty or white!

I used an old Penny Black wooden stamp called Brush Tulips.  I colored the flowers and stems with a marker and spritzed with water before laying it down on the watercolor paper.

This would be a pretty easy one to mass produce and use different sentiments to cover all card possibilities!

Heart Hugs, friends!

Another card for NBUS Challenge

When Linda was here visiting me,  we went to the Craft Warehouse in Beaverton and had a lot of fun roaming that store...so many goodies!  I purchased some Fall Home accessories, like leaves and acorns etc.  But they have a wonderful paper crafting area too!

Well, shame on me, but I went back yesterday with my two daughters!  While they were looking for Fall Home accessories, I was looking at stamps and dies and other things crafty related.  I spotted this Penny Black Stamp:  Fragrant and thought it would be so pretty to water color or even use copics.  I stamped it on watercolor paper and used my Zig Clear Real Brush Markers.  The sentiment is from SSS:  Handwritten Borders.

Since this is a NEW stamp (hmmm, I have plenty already in my stash that need to see ink, but love playing with most recent new ones!) I will join in the NBUS Challenge!

You have until next Friday the 18th to link up any NEW TO YOU STAMP or DIE or NEVER-BEFORE USED SCHTUFF!!  go to Darnell's blog to check out the rules and all the awesome prizes she will be randomly giving away!!
