With graduations going on and weddings upon us and for some kids home from college, life can be hectic. So I want you to take a moment and envision yourself somewhere on a beach, sitting in this chair. Isn’t this relaxing? Come make this card which I like to call a Concept Card. This means it is for just about any occasion … thinking of you, birthday, Father’s Day. This card you can make and leave the inside blank you are ready to send the card because there is no greeting on the outside.
This is an Aqua Painter card. So dig out your Aqua Painter and your ink as we are headed to the beach.
Tips and Tricks
Color Combination: This card used a little navy blue with a paint brush.
Stamp Set: I used an older stamp set. The good news is that it is not retiring.
Ink: You will need to blend your blues. I listed the ink pads, but you will need your reinkers.
Paper:
Designer Series Paper: I am calling it Designer Series paper when actually it is specialty paper…. watercolor paper.
Accessories: Here are your tools you will need. I cut the circle that is colored one larger than the opening.
Updates
I have just expanded my rose garden. It is not as big as it was at my old house. I had fourteen roses. Roses are my favorite flowers and they are blooming. So I thought for this sketch challenge I want to share the brand new stamp that will be available to order June 1st. Graceful Garden. This beautiful rose can be colored multiple ways and used for multiple occasions. So I like to call it a concept card which means you change it to meet your needs, but the layout stays the same. In this case, “for you” could be a birthday, thinking of you, or a get well.
The sketch challenge is from Freshly Made Sketches. Here is the layout which took as the design on the left and words on the right.
