More Water Lifting

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

A few days ago I posted this cards using ink blending and waterlifting.

I didn't use the whole piece then.  Here's the rest of the piece.

A subtly embossed background and pretty die cut leaf were all this piece needed.

Two more that were made from some pieces that I used to check the colors for

ink blending.  They were too pretty to throw away.

This one ended up being my favorite.  I love these Whittle Birds!

The last one gave me a tussle getting the ink to lift.  There was a bit of pilling

that called for some tiny pearls and some Wink of Stella.  Yes the sentiment is crooked. 

 I'm hoping the little butterfly is getting all the attention.

Two Sunflowers

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Today I have two very similar cards.

I cut two sunflowers and colored them with Simon Says ink and blending brushes.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them.  The die cuts are quite large and my idea of

using both of them on a card was not working out.

As usual, I went into trial and error mode.

Oops.  I got the sentiment too far to the right.  It was a good excuse for using

one of these self stick buttons I'd recently bought at a sale by a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.

I believe they are retired but I was able to get two sheets of them.

I was glad I had a second sunflower in the wings.

This time I got the sentiment centered.

Challenges:

Beautiful Blossoms #8 - (Inspired by the sunflower on the 1st mood board below)
