Good morning! I love my turn for Watercolor Weekend.

My first card features an old barn with sheep grazing in the pasture below. I began by stamping the barn using Tombow markers 565 and 969, stamping off twice. Next, I determined the placement of the fences and where the sheep would graze. I stamped the sheep with the Archival Shadow Grey ink pad to preserve the details in the stamps. I added color and texture with the flowers and rocks included in the Fear Not stamp set. Lastly, I hand-drew the mountains in the background. For the final touch, I used Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White to add some small flowers and highlights.
Tombow markers used: 856, 969, 565, 177, 269, 977, 992, N45, N55, N65, 761, 817, 515, and 126.

I know that Easter was last weekend, but I had this card prepared in advance and still wanted to share it with all of you.
This card took a bit more time, but I love how it turned out. First, I cut out the "Easter" using masking paper and then figured out its placement. Next, I used various flowers to stamp around the masked letters, adding color and texture. After that, I cut out "Easter" again using paper from the 6033 – Inspirational Easter paper pack and attached it with dimensional tape. I turned the eggs in the flowerpot from the 6008 – Bunny Hugs set to the side to create a trail of eggs in the grass. I stamped and painted the chicks, flowers, butterfly, and bee nest. Finally, I cut a purple trim from paper 5849 – Halloween S2 – using the 5972 – BJ Decorative Margin dies. I used dimensional tape to attach the bee and butterfly. As always, I finished with Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White to complete the card.
