My favourite day of the week is here and I have a card to share.
I am addicted to using this new stamp from Penny Black called Trumpet Song.
I love using it to create a watercoloured look to my cards just using markers.
This morning I was inspired by the inspiration challenge at Splitcoast and the Schweitzer Linen site.
Here is the set that inspired my card:
I stamped the flowers at the top of my card so I could leave the bottom white space and give more of a feel of a vine. I coloured directly onto the stamp with Memento markers then sprayed with water and stamped. I love the way the colours blend together.
I stamped the sentiment from the Penny Black set called Sprinkles and Smiles with black Memento ink.
My card still needed something more so I added scoring lines to add interest and to help add balance to the overall design.
Adding my card to these challenges:
Seize the Birthday- ANYTHING GOES
Simon Says- ANYTHING GOES
Addicted to CAS- ANYTHING GOES
Use Your Stuff- FLOWERS
Happy Little Stampers- MAY SKETCH
Hope you have a super weekend and I SO! appreciate you coming by to take a look.
Supplies: stamps- Penny Black/ Memento markers/ Memento bl ink/ Scor-Pal

Oh, I love this vine! what a beautiful card, and the scoring at the bottom just really finishes this off! Lovely!
Thank you for your recent visit to my blog, Karen! It is such a pleasure to read your comment about my April Tim Tag. I've had a look at your more recent (there are so MANY!) cards, and you really have this watercolor look nailed down. So a great compliment coming from YOU!
OH! this is beautiful, love the vine effect and the lovely bright happy feel.
Glad you liked my garden :) thanks for your visit.
This morning glory stamp is just luscious, Karen, and I love it in these colors, too! Great take on the inspiration! Thanks for sharing it with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
Oh, Karen, your inspiration photo is so beautiful, and you've really captured it in this card! It's stunning, and I love the colors you've used (although I may be missing blue...hehe!). Hope you are having a wonderful day! Hugs!
Gorgeous watercolors! Like you card much better than those linens ;) - Thanks Karen, for playing with us at ATSM!
Just when I think you cannot top the last card you created, you continually surprise me. And this card is no exception. I just adore the upper flowers and vines with the bright colors you used on them. Your take on the inspirational photo is amazing. And, love the sentiment too with the lovely lines embossed around it. Thanks again for sharing your talents.
You've done great things with that morning glory stamp, Karen. I love it in these colors and with that sentiment.
You certainly met the challenge with this beautiful stamping with the watercolor effect. The scored lines were a great addition and I hope to remember that idea for future use, I really like that sentiment, too. TFS
A gorgeous card Karen, beautiful colours and stamping and I'm loving your photo inspiration.
