Good Thursday Morning everyone! It's Create with Connie and Mary sketch time! We had a wonderful sketch to play with this week. The designers have come up with super cards this week too!
I also used the color challenge from Colour Q 285.
I'm also playing with Claire's Tic Tac Toe challenge at The Paper Players. I used Flowers, Sequins, and Dry/wet embossing.
To get the watercolored effect on my card, I sprayed the whole piece of watercolor paper with water, stamped my images (they will bleed all over the place) and waited for the paper to dry. After it was dry, I went back over and stamped the images again. I watercolored the entire background with my aquapainter.
This technique of popping up the Thinlits words is really neat. After you have your images stamped, lay the die down where you'd like the word and run it through your Big Shot. ***Make sure you keep all the little pieces like the inside of the "Y" and "O", etc...***
Set that all aside and cut out two more sets of your word out of a thick cardstock, or I used the cardboard backing that comes with your DSP. Glue all the words together and lay them back into the open area, like a puzzle. This is were all the extra little pieces come in. Make sure you put them all back into place so your image is completely intact.
Thanks for taking a peek!

SUPER pretty card! I love that washed color look! Great job with the sketch challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteThe water color look is so pretty and fresh, perfect for spring! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love how you created the watercolored flowers. And thanks for explaining the frame lit technique so clearly! I always wondered how that is done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card - I love how the word sits within the flowers but is raised up, really effective. Thanks for joining us for tic-tac-toe at The Paper Players this week too!
ReplyDeleteJenny, this is just gorgeous! The watercolored flowers are stunning and I am a big fan of the stacked Frame list sentiments! Thank you very much for joining my BINGO challenge at The Paper Players this week! XX
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card! I love the watercolour 'wash' look and the 3D die cut. Stunning effect all round. :)
ReplyDeleteSo many great techniques and details, and great directions, too! I love the finishing touches in gold - especially the sequin trim on the banner. Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteJenny, I actually just said out loud "this is so cool"! Awesome care :D
ReplyDeleteLovely card and fab technique Jenny! Thanks for playing along with us at the ColourQ this week!
ReplyDeleteLove the watercolor wash you did on this card! It's very popular now and I love seeing samples of it...now I need to be brave enough to try it!
ReplyDeleteI love your watercolor wash and how you re-stamped the flowers to accentuate them! So many lovely details, and of course love the stacked framelit technique!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Jenny. I've had a peep through your blog and all of your cards reveal such talent! I love the colours of this one with the addition of the pretty sequins! Kx
