Pots & Buckets by Dana Warren

Hello AI fans!!

It's still cold where I live and there is even snow in the forecast, but I'm ready for spring!! Creating for spring helps to know that eventually, spring has to arrive for real!! 


I started with the different pots and then added in the flowers and foliage. I used the following Watercolor sets: Small Container, Foliage Set 1, Flowering Mailbox, Open Window, Chest of Flowers.



Along with the stamps I used many Distress Markers. I used: Peeled Paint, Worn Lipstick, Mowed Lawn, Mermaid Lagoon, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Fossilized Amber, Gathered Twigs, Shaded Lilac, Pumice Stone, Rusty Hinge, Forest Moss, Hickory Smoke, Vintage Photo, Ground Espresso, Victorian Velvet. These markers are nice as one end has a brush and the other a fine point. To add detail and or make darker shadows, I went in with the fine point.


After everything was dry, I trimmed my panel and rounded the corners. Then I wrapped some twine around the panel and tied it in a bow off to one side. I picked out some pattern paper from Echo Park paper Co Petticoats and Pinstripes pad. The watercolor panel went on the pattern paper and then I adhered that to a white card base. I decided to leave off a sentiment, instead, one can be added to the inside to fit the occasion the card is needed for!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!!

Happy Mother's Day by Dana Warren

Hello AI fans!!

Dana here with quick little Mother's Day card!! If you haven't yet made one, this might be the thing for you!! I used the FDMD Set, perfect to have on hand for your Mother's Day AND Father's Day cards!! 
I started with a watercolor panel that was a little bit smaller than 4 inches. Then I used the leafy stamp from the WC Foliage Set 1 along with the Distress Marker Forest Moss. I would color the stamp with the marker, then stamp along the panel. Stamp several at a time, then add a little bit of water with a paintbrush. I did this all the way around the square panel. 


Next, I used the flower cluster from the Flowering Mailbox set to stamp pink flowers all around the panel. I did it the same way I did the leaves, only with Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar. You can customize by using any leaf and flower stamp you want. And any watercoloring marker will work too!
I stamped the Mother's Day sentiment in the middle of the square panel. Then I used a little bit of Picked Raspberry and water to color the hearts. I added a few sequins to the panel and then added it to some light pattern paper and a card base.

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope all the Mom's (and Dad's who are the moms!) have a great Mother's Day!!
