Hi, there, it’s Marge here with you for today. I’m so excited for Pretty Pink Posh’s New September Release since it’s been 3 months since the last release. There are so many amazing products in this release, so be sure to take a closer look at all of them to find your favorite items.

Here’s my card for today. I made a simple watercolor card featuring the Anemones stamp set.

To begin, I cut a piece of 300g Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper into A2 size, then I stamped Anemones images as shown in the picture using Distress Ink Antique Linen. Next, I watercolored the images very lightly using my Daniel Smith Watercolor paints. Once I finished watercoloring, I added some splatter of dark blue inks and let them dry.

After the panel was dried, I cut it with Scallop Frames Dies with rectangle frames cut two more times out of separate white card stock and glued top-on-top to give the frame some dimension.

I stamped a sentiment from Simple Sayings: Kind on the center using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I then adhered the outer frame onto a pink card base and then I adhered center panel inside the frame. I finished off the card by adding some Ivory Jewels.

Here are some tips for today’s card:
1) Use wet in wet technique in order to do very light watercoloring
2) To express fine line texture of the petals, you can either  use a very small waterbrush to draw fine lines or add white pencil details.
3)  I love to add a focal image on the opposite corner of the main images to give the panel a balanced look.
4) Combination of pink, violet, and coral never disappoints you when you just don’t know how to start coloring of your flowers.
5) My favorite paper for watercolor card is heavy weight (140lb or 300g), cold pressed one.
That’s it from me for today. I hope you enjoyed today’s post. Happy crafting!

  4. Oh my goodness, I thought day one was great & couldn’t get much better, but I’m reconsidering that & this is the first site to visit on day two for me.
    I absolutely adore your cat cards & that anemone is drop dead gorgeous! I always start out picking what I think is my favourite item from the release, but as I’m going along it keeps changing. What to do, what to do… :)
