Hi, crafty friends! Today I have a cute, colorful watercolor card that I created with the Cake Love stamp set from Altenew. This time I brought my stamped background to the next level by stamping several words on the background and adding black dots between the images.
I started by stamping the images from the Cake Love stamp set with Hero Arts intense black ink on a A2 size Strathmore watercolor paper. Then I stamped the words from the Layered Letters AFG stamp set and the holly berries images from the Vintage Teacup stamp set to fill in the gap.
Next, I colored my images with ZIG Clean Color Real brush pens using Tim Holtz water brush. I didn’t put too much effort on coloring/shading but just let the water do most of the work.
I stamped the sentiment from the Sentiments & Quotes stamp set with watermark ink, heat embossed with Pure White Crisp embossing powder on a piece of black cardstock, and mounted my sentiment banner on the card front using 3M foam tape.
I finished off my card by adding some black dots between the images using a black marker from the Artist Markers Set A. If you are following me, you may already know that I’m kind of obsessed with black dots lately. Haha!

Your creations are lovely. Thanks for the giveaway. My wishlist is yo have lovely stamps from different companies and different inks too. That would be the best day for me.

One thing on my wishlist is to have more time to stamp & color. Some new stamps & dies would be such fun.
Jul . 16 . 2017Hannah Cleveland
So lovely! My wishlist is a mile long of cute stamps and a Scan and Cut to perfectly cut them all out 😄

My wishlist is a tim holtz stamping pad and a misti mini. Also copic markers.
Jul . 16 . 2017Kris Engler
Love your creations every time! My wishlist typically has a mix of new stamps as well as some older sets along with matching dies.

The top item on my wishlist is to have someone help me catelog all of my stamps, dies, embossing folders, etc. I keep ending up with duplicates. Unlike so many paper crafters, I don’t have a blog and I no one sends me free products, so I am just throwing $$$s out the window! I have to get on this! Other items on my wishlist are critter/mermaid/fairy stamps. Most of my stuff tends to be florals and formals. I need more casual, fun, and young stuff!

Another amazing card! My wishlist is to be able to watercolour like you…but on the realistic side, just more of Altenew’s flower stamps and dies! Thanks for doing this.

A very neat idea of using up all the empty spaces with dots! I’m very bad at drawing, so my wish list is outlined stamps sets so I could color it in with markers or watercolors and alphabet stamps/dies. Love from Malaysia <3
