The line of trees was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the die cut rectangle. I punched a circle from a Post It Note using a 1” Circle Punch and added it above the tree line. I masked all 4 sides of the rectangle using Post It Notes and added Boho Blue ink to the top of the panel with a Blending Brush and Mossy Meadow ink to the bottom.

The tree trunks were coloured with an Early Espresso Water-colored Pencil. I added colour to the bushes with a Garden Green Watercolor Pencil. The canopy of the trees was coloured using both the Lemon Lime Twist and Old Olive Water-coloured Pencils. The coloured panel was then glued to the Early Espresso panel. The whole piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I flagged the end of ⅜” strips of Old Olive, Basic White and Early Espresso card and tucked them under the raised image.

The sentiment, from the Delicate Forest stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card in Boho Blue ink. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front. A trio of 2023 – 2025 In Color Glossy Dots finished the card.

A pretty lavender farm themed card made using the Hills of Tuscany stamp set - Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hills of Italian Lavender – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am loving the Hills of Tuscany stamp set and have used it to make a pretty water coloured card.

 To recreate the Italian lavender hills card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Hills of Tuscany stamp set used to make a pretty lavender farm themed card – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

The large curved image was inked in Highland Heather ink, then lightly spritzed with water before I stamped the image at the bottom of the Fluid 100 card. The colour didn’t look right and I realised the stamp had picked up a little Old Olive ink from the scrap paper the Fluid 100 was resting on – quite liked it so carried on. I stamped again in Highland Heather ink to add more ‘ground’.

A pretty, watercoloured, sheep themed thank you card made using the On The Farm stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Sheep Themed Thank You Card

Today I have been using the sweet On the Farm stamp set to make a pretty water coloured thank you card.

 

The colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the sheep thank you card, you will need:

Sahara Sand card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Garden Green card – 3¼” by 2⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 3⅛” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Strips of Basic White, Balmy Blue and Garden Green ⅜” wide

 

When I am stamping onto watercolor paper, I usually use my Stamparatus. Because the paper is textured the Stamparatus gives me the option of re-stamping if I miss spots or I want the image to be darker. So, I stamped the fields, trees and sheep in StaZon Jet Black ink.

When the StaZon ink was dry I began to watercolour the images, beginning with the leaves. I used my Water Painters to add a little water to the leaves, this helps the ink to flow on the card. I added a drop of Granny Apple Green re-inker to the lid of the Granny Apple Green inkpad, loosen the ink with a little water and painted in the leaves.

When the ink was dry I added Soft Sea Foam around the stamped and coloured images, using water to blur the ink giving a faded look. When the panel was completely dry I glued it to the Sweet Sorbet layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. A length of Sweet Sorbet and white Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and the whole piece then added to the Soft Sea Foam card front using the same liquid glue.

The Scenic Garden stamp set, by Stampin' Up! used to make a pretty water-coloured card

A Scenic Garden card

The lovely Scenic Garden stamp set was used to make this pretty water-coloured birthday card.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the scenic garden card, you will need:

Soft Suede card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Sweet Sorbet card – 5⅛” by 3⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 5” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Soft Suede card

 

I mounted the image stamp onto one of the plates from my Stamparatus, inked it up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it down onto the panel of Fluid 100 paper. Because the water colour card so textured I find I need to stamp two or three times to get a good impression and the Stamparatus makes this so easy to do.

Using a Water Painter and inkpads I coloured in the image. I used Soft Suede ink for the bench, Granny Apple Green for the grass and foliage, Sweet Sorbet for the flowers, Smoky Slate for the ground and finally Balmy Blue for the sky and to pull the whole image together.

An anniversary card made using the pair of ducks from the Stylish Sketches stamp set for a watercolor challenge

Pair of Ducks Anniversary Card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects using water colouring techniques. I have used the sweet image of a pair of ducks from the Stylish Sketches stamp set to make an anniversary card.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pair of ducks’ card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Crumb Cake card – 5½” by 3¾”
Petal Pink card – 2¾” by 2½”
Shimmery White card – 2⅝” by 2⅜”
Shimmery White card – 2⅜” by ½”
Very Vanilla card – 5 ½” by 3¾”

 

Using one of the leafy sprigs from the Ringed With Nature stamp set, I randomly stamped in Crumb Cake into across the Crumb Cake layer. A length of Very Vanilla Twine, from the Essentials Baker’s Twine pack was wrapped around the panel three times and secured with Sellotape. The decorated panel was then added to the Crumb Cake card Base with Mini Glue Dots to accommodate the twine and give a shadow effect.

I positioned the pretty stamp onto the Stamparatus Plate and placed the larger panel of Shimmery White card beneath it. I love using Shimmery White as it holds the water better than Basic White card and has a delicate sheen which is so pretty. The image was stamped in Early Espresso ink, I repeated this step to get a good dark image.

Using re-inkers dropped into the top of my ink pads, I coloured in the image using a Waterpainter. The colours I used for the ducks were Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Pool Party & So Saffron and I used Balmy Blue for the sky and Pear Pizzazz for the grass.

After the panel had dried, I added it to the Petal Pink panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I placed a heavy acrylic block on top to reduce the warping that you often get with watercolouring. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card base with Dimensionals.
