Catered Crop: Faux-Watercolor Greeting Card

by May Park-

Happy Friday! Before I get to my post, I want to say thank you so much to everyone who voted for my soda card and help me to go to the next round. I am thrilled that I made the Top 15 in Paper Crafts Gallery Idol 2014 card contest. I really appreciate your support and love.

Today I’m sharing a card that I made for the Catered Crop: Garden Party challenge. What’s growing in your garden? Flowers? Vegetables? Herbs? Weeds!? There’s just something so therapeutic about getting your hands dirty. For this challenge show us anything that might grow in a garden.

I started by one piece of watercolor paper and spritzed it with water. Then I stamped the solid images of flowers and leaves from Garden Grace stamp set using distress inks: Festive Berries and Mowed Lawn. Next, I used a paint brush with a bit of water to make the colors smooth. I tried not to make them perfect so that my images looked like watercolor painting. After that, I stamped the outline images of flowers and leaves from the same set using Stampin’ Up ink pad: Real Red and Old Olive. Next, I added a shimmer over the flowers using Wink of Stella glitter clear marker. I finished off my card with the sentiment from Mini Blooms stamp set by Papertrey Ink. Nothing fancy or creative, but I enjoyed making this card. Hope you like it, too.

There is a fabulous Pinterest board that Linda has curated. You can head over to her board, Garden Party, to find links to all the inspiring projects. Make sure to stop by the Catered Crop blog to see the rest of the DT creations on Sunday, June 1. I hope you play along with us as the winners will have a chance to guest design on the next challenge.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!

    Aw, this was a really nice post. Finding the time and actual effort to produce a great article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and never manage to get anything done.|

    Hello, Neat post. There is an issue along with your web site in web hosting service explorer, would test this?
    IE still is the market chief and a large portion of other folks will leave

    First of all I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t
    mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your
    thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like
    the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how
    to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Kudos! cheap flights yynxznuh

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
    matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

    Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple,
    yet effective. A lot of times it’s very
    difficult to get that “perfect balance” between usability
    and visual appeal. I must say you have done a great job with this.

    Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Firefox.
    Outstanding Blog!
