Pink Watercolour

 

Happy Saturday!

First, let my begin by saying a most grateful THANK-YOU for all the emails and well wishes you sent to me.  They were most appreciated as I tried to get well from a very NASTY! infection and cough.  So happy to be able to feel productive again and play with my stamps. {smiling}

My creative juices got flowing this morning after I saw the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast.  I saw this beautiful candle package and I thought of my Rubbernecker stamps.

I began by masking my watercolour paper then grabbed my stamps.  This stamp from Rubbernecker is a 2-step stamp so first, I inked the stems and flower centers with black Memento ink and stamped.  

For the second part which is the flower petals, I coloured my stamp with Memento markers, sprayed with water and stamped onto my slightly wet watercolour paper.  By using the markers you can add variations of colour right where you want it to be.  The water just helps them all blend together well.  

HINT:  If you don't own Memento markers try using Crayola markers....your kids most likely have     some of these kicking around the house.  I have used them when I didn't have the right colour or one of my Mementos had dried up.  Since they are water-based you can still achieve the same effect.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from Technique Tuesday to finish off my card.

Also adding my card to these challenges:
