Unity Stamp Co. March Sketch Challenge - Card #2

 As I mentioned in my previous post....I'm just now getting a chance to work on some cards for the Unity Stamp Co. March Sketch Challenge! I'm currently on a roll! I stamped this image three times hoping to get at least three cards done!

This little lovely was stamped onto watercolor paper with VersaFine Clair in Nocturne. Colored with Tombow ABT markers (flower: 925 and N00, leaves: 158, 192 and NOO, shadow N89). Papers are new to me purchased second hand are are by The Paper Studio Against the Grain and Metro Garden by KI.  I die cut all the panels with the scallops and rectangles nesting dies (which appear to be out of stock) from Unity, the twine is from May Arts.

I colored the flower first then had to find paper to match! Another Mother's day ready to go!

Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge #192

 Hello friends! I am working with the Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge #192 Sketch! I've said it before (and will probably say again) but I love a good sketch!! Since I am still waiting on my order from Newton's Nook, I will use another freebie from their collection! This one is called (appropriately) birdballoon!

I started with a white cardbase, then added the diagonal striped paper (from Unity Stamp Co. Enrich the Soul). On top of that I cut a piece of white cardstock as the base for the three strips, also from Unity Stamp Co. (Kindness is Magic). I printed my image on watercolor paper, but because I apparently do not have the correct ink or markers the printed image was running with my Tombow ABT markers. So with that being said, be careful when getting close to the lines if your image is bleeding! I literally had to print and redo this about 6 times because I kept getting smeary lines. As I said above, I colored with Tombow ABT Markers, then distressed the edge with distress oxide in Speckled Egg. Tied some jute twine (may arts) and added some red enamel dots (gina marie designs) for added color!

Thanks for visiting! Leave me some love to let me know you were here! :)
