Watercolored Words


Here's the simplest of cards, perhaps one that a non stamper would love!

1. Cut up the I love you sentiment from Avery Elle Handwritten Notes (love this font!).
2. Stamped in Versamark on watercolor paper and embossed with white powder.
3.  Wet the paper with water.
4. Ran an SU bright pink marker on a block and picked up the ink with a wet paint brush and spread over the words.  Because the paper was wet, the ink just flowed.
5.  Cut with scissors -- no measuring as I did not want a "perfect" look.
6.  Adhered each word onto a dark gray card.

MOOD WHEN DONE = Happy!

Merci

Yes, I see the irony in posting a card with these sweet macarons given my last post on how toxic sugar is to my well being.  But I intend to pair the card with a gift of yummy pastel macarons (courtesy of our local bakery) and give the card and the cookies away. 

Sampling may be involved.


Stamped the sentiment first and then repeatedly stamped the outline image in pink, purple and orange.  Colored with a combo of colored pencils and Copic markers.

And since the stamps were sitting there oh so cute, I used the solid stamp and made a masculine version, which will also accompany some macarons.   Naturellement....


Used the die to cut out a few macarons.  Twine attached with a tiny stapler. 

Stamps:  Bonjour from Avery Elle and Mini Blooms from PTI

MOOD WHEN DONE = Affamee
