Morning.
Thanks again for all your most kind emails from yesterday's post. You really made me feel teary eyed and so appreciative!
Well anyways, here is a card I made inspired by the challenge at Splitcoast and these two photo prints from Pottery Barn.
The woodgrain background was created by using the Embossing Folder Stamping Technique. I just love using this technique as it gets me so much more mileage from my EB folders.
I inked inside of my embossing folder (raised side) with Antique Linen Distress ink, sprayed with water and pressed my paper gently into the wet ink.
I just got some Staedtler watercolour crayons and wanted to try them out for the flowers. So, when the bkg. was dry, I sprayed the flower stamp with water and coloured directly onto my stamp with the crayon. I sprayed again then stamped. Since I have never used watercolour crayons before, I love the variation of colour I got using the same crayon.
Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from Kaisercraft with black Memento ink.
Adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says- MAKE YOUR OWN BKG.
The Mixed Media- FLOWERS
Challenge Up Your Life- WATERCOLOUR
Sister Act Card- ANYTHING GOES
Thanks again for taking the time to come and visit.
Supplies: stamps- Unity, Kaisercraft/ Distress ink/ eb folder/ mini mister/ Staedtler watercolour crayons/ Memento bl ink

Love your card! The earth tones bring such a peaceful feeling to your project. Simply beautiful!
This is nifty. I love the earth tones. You could send this to a guy and he wouldn't have his masculinity threatened. ;-)
'A day late and a dollar short' seems to describe me. I am coming very late to this medium. I just love all your examples and then your clear concise explanation of how you did it is just sooooo helpful. Thank you so much. I
