Sandy Allnock did a video using trees and watercolors and I wanted to play along. The only tree I had at hand was the Sheltering Tree stamp so I went with it. Using markers and watercolor paper, I stamped the tree and then added the leaves with re-inkers and an aqua painter. The idea was to create a shadowed area underneath the leaves. Think I might need to try again 🙂 But it was fun and great way to stretch my watercoloring abilities. Hugs, Fran
Here’s my cat, Max, waiting for you to come sit with him and give him some love! I stamped this scene from Sitting Here on watercolor paper in Stazon ink and watercolored. The cat, pillows and pot of plants are stamped separately and fussy cut.
I went around each piece with a black marker and then created the scene. The top of the card is stamped with the leaves from Sheltering Tree (you could pick any greenery you have) and is on a piece of Calypso Coral Patterned paper. The sentiment is from Flourishing Phrases. Hugs, Fran
This is the framed art piece we did last week. It uses Sheltering Tree showing all the seasons. (Sorry about the glare!) We had fun with all the little pieces – but decided it needs a snowman, especially around here right now! Hugs, Fran
Here’s my take on Sheltering Tree from the Occasions Mini. Instead of embossing, I added Dazzling Details. This is such a great set! I used Soft Sky and Early Espresso inks for the winter scene. This is one of the cards we made at Card Club yesterday.
