Hi Watercolor Friends! I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I am loving this spring weather. It makes me dream of going to Paris, France. I love the vintage French doors. Those doors are what inspired my first card. I enjoyed figuring out my layout. There was a lot of masking done using Post-it Tape and Post-it Notes. I stamped the bicycle first and then the blue door. I used Tombow 403 to paint the door. It's my new favorite color! Next I stamped the pot with Tombow 565 and 969 stamping off twice first. I did all of the stamping for this card using this method. Next I added the wall texture and the cobblestones. After I had painted all of the foliage and flowers I added in a quiet, gray kitten using the WC Mini Critter Set 5016. For the decorative element on the door windows I used a stamp from set 5123 WC Decorative Jar set. I have to be honest, I thought this was pretty clever! The decorative paper is from 5873 Mini Birthday PP. I stamped the sentiment and die cut the words out using a die from the 5543 Journal Template Die set. The last remaining step was to add white highlights using Dr. Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White.
I used the following Tombow markers on both of these cards: 565, 977, 177, 969, 026, 992, 817, 636, 526, 403, 569, N55 and N75.
For my second card I stamped a Happy Birthday card. This card was simple in comparison to the French door card. I stamped this image on Arches hot press watercolor paper using Tombow 565 and 969 for a smoother picture. I did not stamp off this image as I wanted all of the details to be more predominant. Then I painted the image using Tombow markers. Afterwards to add some confetti I masked off the entire image and splattered marker paint onto the card. I used various dies to cutout the image and add details.
I hope you all enjoy my cards as much as I enjoyed creating them! If you have any questions, please ask on the blog, Facebook or Instagram. Thank you.
