Happy Little Stampers May Watercolour Challenge

Hello crafty friends and welcome back to another Watercolour challenge

over at the Happy Little Stampers blog!

This month the theme is anything goes with an optional "Happy" twist.
It't time to celebrate Mom in May so what better card
to make than a Happy Mother's Day card for the happy theme.
Here is my card for this month.

I'm loving this new die from Paper Smooches called Rad Roses!

I used pink and green Kuretake pearlescent paints on watercolor paper

and cut out the roses and leaves.  

I used gold foil card stock for the outlines of those beautiful roses.

The "mom" die cut is from Lil Inker and I used the gold foil card stock

again to match the outline of the roses.

The Happy Mother's Day sentiment is from a C.C. Designs stamp set

called All About Mom.

And last but not least, the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle frame is from

Kat Scrappiness and I layered it over a panel that I 

dry embossed with a rose embossing folder.

Come join us for the Happy Little Stampers Watercolor Challenge this month!

We want to see your watercolor projects.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you get some free crafty time today!

Have a great day, I already am!

Papertrey MIM #319: GRAFFITI WORD ART

Lexi Daly has created some fun graffiti art on a card this week for Papertrey Ink's MIM and has challenged us to do the same.  I love thinking outside the box with my stamps and dies.  It took me 2 days to think about this challenge and I decided to make it a little more realistic by putting it on a brick wall background.  I also added a drop shadow appearance that you see in a lot of graffiti to give it dimension.  I really love the look of that shadow with word art!  I used the Block Alphabet from Papertrey Ink for my letters and the sentiment is from a stamp set by Lil' Inker called Rainbows and Clouds sentiments. The stars in the letters are from a new Pinkfresh Studio stamp set called Magical Unicorn.  I really like how this card turned out and it was so much fun to try something new.

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of your week!

I'm already enjoying mine!
