July-August 2015 Sketch

I made this card for the July-August Sketch 

at the Enjoy Michael Strong Stamps Yahoo Group

You can see the sketch here on Hetty's blog.

I'm just having so much fun with watercolors.

Just wanted to mention that my friend gave me my set of 28 watercolor "cakes".

I think they are made by Simbalion.

I cut a scalloped circle from my "faux" watercolor paper with a Nestabilities die.

Then cut a square slightly larger than the circle

and embossed it with Cuttlebug's Tiny Bubbles.

Cut a "paper ribbon" and sponged it with distress squeezed lemonade.

Stamped  Michael Strong's Mini Cloisonne Creatures on cardstock,

fussy cut and sponged all with distress inks:

shell-abandoned coral

starfish-wild honey

gecko-mowed lawn.

Used Versafine Black Onyx to stamp:

Stampscapes Gulls and Spear Fisher stamps

and the Hero Arts sentiment.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
