Lynette and I had a wonderful time Wednesday visiting and making cards!
Our first card was inspired by Dawn Turley's butterfly card.
We used Tim Holtz' watercolor crayons-festive berries, seedless preserves, fossilized amber and peeled paint, scribbling on our craft sheet, spritzing with water and using a paintbrush to apply the color onto watercolor paper. I found the Tim Holtz distress crayon watercolor kit on clearance for about $14 at Michaels.

Once the paper was dry we stamped a Hero Arts script stamp in hickory smoke using Hero Arts H2141 Manuscript Background. Then we used a stencil from another kit: Tim Holtz distress mixed media spray stain kit-numbers and circles.
Lynette stamped some butterflies in hickory smoke.
I added more stenciling with fossilized amber and picked raspberry. Used a stencil from my stash that I had bought in The Netherlands a few years ago-thanks Hetty!!
We dry embossed the layer with Park Lane's Flower Repeat embossing folder and sponged the edges in hickory smoke.
We used Lynette's Tim Holtz "butterfly duo" thick die and embossing folder for the butterflies. We sponged with a few colors ending with festive berry and hickory smoke.
Our flower card was inspired by Karen Dunbrook's card. We spritzed the flower stamp, applied Tim Holtz watercolor crayons directly to the stamp, spritzed again then stamped on watercolor paper.
Stamps: Hero Arts: E2900 A Real Candytuft, F2897 A Real Wild Poppy, C3270 Verbena,
C2830 Real Wild Aster, C2899 A Real Bluebonnet
TH watercolor crayons: seedless preserves, peeled paint, fossilized amber, festive berries
We used the same Park Lane "Flower Repeat" embossing folder on the green layer for this card.
The butterfly is punched from a Martha Stewart punch and "painted" with picked raspberry
Our third card was inspired by Jacqueline de Groot's Winter Scene houses card.
We used Lynette's Stampin' Up set, In the City. We started stamping the houses at the bottom. Lynette cut out masks and we proceed to stamp above each row, using Stampin' Up creamy caramel ink. The stamp set has a separate stamp to fill in the color of the houses. Very easy and fun. Other inks used: SU close to cocoa, chocolate chip, pistachio pudding, pretty in pink, bordering blue, barely banana.
Thanks for visiting.
Wishing you a very special week of remembering our blessings and giving thanks!
