Water

The next challenge in our group was to have water as the theme of the card, I went with this Lake house stamp.  All I can say is you win some and you lose some, I didn't get the water color feel of it very well, I need more practice on these very small images, I think it is much easier with larger images.


After water coloring I was going through my dies deciding how I wanted to cut the image and thought this die would make a lovely frame for this scene but the piece I stamped my stamp on wasn't big enough for this die so I cut it out and then cut just the image portion out by hand so I would have a guide on where to cut so it would fit inside the cut I made with green cardstock. I added a little ink to just the leaves to give them a touch of color.

Art Impressions - Lake House window, on water color paper, using Spectrum Aqua markers
Spellbinders - Decorative Curved Square die
Hot off the press - Black Jewel Dazzles

I hope the week for you is off to a wonderful start,
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

    I think the watercoloring looks great. I like that die for this image. I wouldn’t have thought it would fit right but it looks really nice!

    I say this is a winner all the way! It's gorgeous and I think your watercoloring skills are gorgeous on this as well. The image fits the center of that detailed frame just perfectly.
