It's quite wet out here in, OH! No sun shining today! Isn't it nice when the weather helps your creative juices?? Late last night, I checked the challenge on Splitcoast, and ran up to my craft room to play! I have been wanted to paint lately! It's been years since I've painted! I am a HORRIBLE painter! Seriously, I've even been told that! Anyway, I thought, I love holding a paintbrush, so how about incorporating some "painting" onto my card? Just to see if I could do it! I took out my watercolor pencils and an image I had stamped onto watercolor paper from SU!'s set called, "Fast & Fabulous." Put some water in a cup and started painting! I LOVED it!! And I feel like now I have had more experience with blender pens and coloring, now was the perfect time to try this! Here's the card I created!
After I finished painting the image, i set it to the side and went to BED!! At that point is was 1a.m!! EEEK! Anyway, my husband and I woke up a bit late, was able to get our daughter fed and ready for school on time!! :) After she left, I ran up to try to get my card finished as fast as possible! THAT was a task! I hadn't thought of a color combo for what I had watercolored! Oh, my!! After cutting MANY pieces of cardstock and not finding ANY combo I liked, I started to look outside. All I saw was fog, rain and GREY!! And then, all of a sudden it hit me! GREY!! :) So, I grabbed some grey cardstock, started cutting, running things through my Big Kick, grabbed my pearls, found some ribbon and.... VOILA!! After it was all put together, I thought those flowers needed a little something. So I grabbed some glue and put some dazzling diamonds in the center of each flower. Here's the picture where you can SEE them!:
I really loved this sketch when I was through with my card!! I'd love to hear what you think of my card!! Thanks for taking a peak!

Gorgeous, Jenna! So happy I discovered your blog. It is raining in Louisville also. But, like you said it is warm and cozy inside. Not much stamping for me this week, my brother is visiting from Georgia. Sharing lots of laughs and eating way too much. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThe card is gorgeous Jen! I love coral/orange and brown together. As for the water color paiting, great job! Through my years of art classes, water color painting was always a challenge but so rewarding when seeing the end result. Its nice that you were able to overcome the, "Your a horrible painter" comment. You are a geat painter and dont let anyone tell you otherwise! Great job :) Love ya!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and water coloring!

ReplyDeleteYay, Jenna, you started a blog! It's really beautiful, I love the pretty lacy edges and the pale pink background. Such a lovely backdrop for your card photos.
ReplyDeleteJenna,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blog! The picture of your family is adorable! Your watercoloring is awesome and your cards are all gorgeous!!
Hi! Just stumbled across your blog via SCS, and have to say that I really enjoyed looking at your creations! You have a very lovely, feminine style :)
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to read about your difficulty choosing colors...I always wondered if other stampers have that issue too! Very cool that you found inspiration just by looking out the window!
Happy stamping!
