Watercolor Rose Card

It's getting late but I really wanted to share my latest card with you! This Watercolor Rose Card was made using this weeks Tuesday Morning Sketch. I love the simplicity of the design and the oval focal point. I didn't use a sentiment but I imagine this card will be used for Mother's Day. To watercolor the rose I stamped the Inkadinkado image onto watercolor paper using StazOn Jet Black ink. I used my Aqua Painter brushes by Stampin' Up! with Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Gumball Green and Old Olive classic stampin' pads. The scalloped oval was die cut with a Spellbinders die using Pool Party card stock. I used green and gold Smooch Spritz on light yellow card stock and the punched the elegant butterfly. It added a really nice shimmer and then I added the three small pearls. The baroque patterned paper is from my stash and the polka dot green is from the Epic Day dsp by Stampin' Up!. Well, that about sums it up. Thanks for stopping by!

Beautifully Baroque Card

Thank goodness for Thursday because I'm ready for the weekend! Of course I'm always ready for the weekend regardless of what day it is!

The card I created today features the colors from The Play Date Café to use:

Cream...Melon...Cantaloupe 

These colors are very pretty together and since one of the new in-colors at Stampin' Up! is Crisp Cantaloupe, I couldn't wait to play along. This Beautifully Baroque Card is made with the new stamp and coordinating embossing folder by Stampin' Up! To add a little dimension I stamped the image a second time on a small strip of paper, attached it to the label love sentiment and popped them up with dimensionals. For the design I used this weeks Monday Lunchtime sketch at Technostamper. To keep the design simple I ended up eliminating the banners at the bottom. I added a few pearls to the label to add a little elegance and that was it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!
