Heartfelt Gratitude by Dana Warren

Hello AI fans!!

Today, I have a little watercolor scene I created with Wooden Chair Mini Set, WC Sentiments Set, WC Cats, and WC Flower Set 2, WC Foliage Set 1.

I started by stamping the chair and the flower pot, then the cat. To stamp and color, I used lots of Distress Markers, I'll list them out at the end.

To color the images I also scribbled the colors on a palette and used a paint brush to color the images. Going back over areas with more color to add depth and shading. As I stamped the flowers and foliage I used water and a paintbrush to get the watercolor look.

I added just a little bit of blue to background for a sky. Then I stamped the Heartfelt Gratitude stamp in brown ink. I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle. From my stash, I found some green paper and added it to a white card base. I added the stamped panel with foam tape and last rounded the corners of the card base.

Thanks for stopping by!! Happy Stamping!!

Love it, great job. I like trying to come up with my own scenes to create, of course I always recreate the cards to the best of my ability from Bonnie's you tube too. I have never had anyone complain when I have given them one of these beauties
