Technique Time

 Water Color
At Heart 2 Heart the new water color challenge gave
me the opportunity to bring out my water brushes.
My favorite way to water color is to use the coordinating
ink pad and the water brush to add the color.

This is a close up of the water colored flowers and leaves.
For this technique cut your desired shapes and lay them on
the Versa Mat or a water proof surface. Spray them with a
light mist of water. Use your water brush to pick up ink color
from the lid of your ink pad. Touch the wet image with the
inked brush and it will spread across the wet image. To get the
two tone color on the leaves I used Emerald with a touch of Lemon.

I used this sketch from Atlantic Hearts for my card.

Colors from Color My Heart and the No Worries paper pack 
made this card fun and easy to make.
Using this sketch from Atlantic Hearts put it all together.

A Heartfelt Thankyou

With a Sketch From
Atlantic Hearts and two CTMH paper packs.
 One of the fun things about this current Seasonal Expressions is you
 can mix and match the papers from different packs. On this card I
 mixed the No Worries paper pack with the Prickly Pear paper pack
The flowers and leaves were cut with White Daisy and
sponged with Raspberry and Fern ink.
This fun sketch from Atlantic Hearts was used to make my card.
If you missed the fun with this sketch another one will be posted on Monday.
Be sure to check it out and come play at Atlantic Hearts.

A Heart 2 Heart Color Challenge

With Emerald, Blossom, and Lemon
One of my downline gave me a new fun stamp set from Heartfelt Creations.
I normally only use CTMH products but this flower stamp set
was so pretty I had to give it a try. 
With the colors at the Heart 2 Heart challenge it seemed just perfect
to play with this stamp set. I colored the flower with Blossom
and Lemon and the leaves with Emerald and Lemon to soften
the boldness of the Emerald green.

Use these colors below and come play at Heart 2 Heart.

Color Challenge 246

Mixing it up with Colors of No Worries
This is a real color challenge at Color My Heart this week:
Cocoa, Lemon, Smoothie, Sea Glass, Cashmere, and White Daisy.
As a consultant, sometimes my customers or downline give me a gift.
Now what do you give a die hard CTMH product user? Something that is
not CTMH. Right? Well, one of my downline gave me a new flower stamp
set from Heartfelt Creations. ( At least the Heart was in the company name).
Anyway when I checked the artwork using this stamp set I had to give it a try.
The colors at this week's Color My Heart were just right for this Sunrise Lily.
In case you're wondering where the Sea Glass is I sponged the leaves with it
and Cashmere. Somehow the straight Sea Glass was not working with this flower.
CTMH Suppplies:
B&T Duos: No Worries
Cardstock: White Daisy, Smoothie, Cocoa
Stamps: Sunrise Lily from Heartfelt Creations, Jack
Ink: Smoothie, Lemon, Cocoa, Sea Glass, Cashmere
Embellishments: Mocha Opaques
