Spring flowers watercolor birthday card ~ distress markers

 Today, I am sharing my Spring floral card with watercolor and paper layers.  This shows how to use distress markers in a few different ways.  The flower petals shimmer on this card.

Sentiment:  Happy birthday.  Hooray.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for creating this card.  To begin, stamp the flowers and the sentiment onto watercolor paper.  Next, die-cut or trim the stamped panel and paper layers.  Then, watercolor the flower panel.  I used Ranger Tim Holtz distress markers along with water and a watercolor brush to move the color around.  Once dry, add shimmer to the flowers (optional).  Finally, layer it all onto the card base.

I made a video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Poinsettia slimline card with distress marker watercolor ~ tutorial

 Hello.  Here is my holiday card celebrating a Brown Thursday event with Unity Stamp Company.  It is not just for Thursday though.  It is a kick-off seasonal party that got its name long ago instead of using black Friday.  

Sentiment:  Let's get merry.

This huge holiday poinsettia stamp is the focus of the slimline style card.  It is one of the slimline stamps from Unity and it fills the card.  I added a few frame layers and a tag for accents.

For watercolor, I used distress markers and blended lots of color layers for this.  This was stamped onto watercolor paper.  It was fun to get out those distress markers and blend away.  The tag was stamped and then paper punches were used to frame it.  The video will show the details.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
