CASology #109: Floral Watercolor Greeting Card

by May Park-

Hello everyone! Hope you had a wonderful start to a new week. Last weekend I had so much fun with six ladies at the craft retreat. I was very productive during the crafty trip. I created a few vintage tags including Tim Holtz’s seahorse tag, painted on canvases using acrylic paint, made a few fabric hangers, and of course created cards! If you want to see some of the photos from my first craft trip, check out my Instagram or Facebook.

I created a floral themed card inspired by my friend who grows her flowers in small coffee cups. For my card, I used Loved Stamp Set from Waffle Flower Crafts and Latte Love Stamp Set from Fiskars. I first stamped the images using light ink on a watercolor paper and colored them with watercolor paint. (Sorry! I don’t have step photos for today since I made this during the trip.)

This is a closer look at my card. Honestly I did’t like the way it turned out when I finished my card. But you know what? The more I look, the more I love! I don’t want to brag, but my watercolor card looks fabulous in every way! What do you think? Hope you like my creation too.

For some reason, I wasn’t confident with watercoloring before. But this card made me want to try more watercolors. And I also found out watercolor worked on CAS card, too. Hopefully you’ll see more watercolor cards from me. Ha-ha!

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.|

    Howdy, I think your site could be having internet browser compatibility issues.
    Whenever I take a look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine
    however, when opening in IE, it’s got some overlapping issues.
    I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
    Other than that, fantastic website! adreamoftrains content hosting website host

    I do consider all of the concepts you have presented on your post.
    They’re very convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts
    are too quick for beginners. Could you please prolong them a little from subsequent time?

    Thanks for the post.
