The Paper Players 234 Theme Challenge: Think Spring
Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
Now to make things more interesting I have to tell you the background on how this card came out the way it did. The image was stamped on watercolor paper and I began to color it in with watercolor pencils and an aqua pen. When I had it exactly as I wanted it I reached for the sentiment I had chosen, inked it up, turned it to stamp and.....dropped it onto the paper. I was almost ready to throw it away and start over and then I decided to "fussy cut" the image and pop it up on another piece of watercolor paper (so I could be consistent, lol) but first I stamped the sentiment to be sure I got that right this time. I think I like it better popped up and cut out....anyway, goes to show you where there's a will there's a way and there are no mistakes in cardmaking just opportunities! Okay, on to the supplies I used:
CARDSTOCK: Bazzil, watercolor paper
STAMPS: Power Poppy Azalea, SU! Well Scripted
INK: Versafine
ACCESSORIES: watercolor pencils, aqua pen, Fruit Punch Stickles, SU! Pretty in Pink Ribbon
So what do you think? I'm pretty happy with it.....I think I'll use the design for a card class I'm having in May. Thanks for taking time to look around today....Hurry Spring!

Becky, your card is lovely! I know how painful it is to ruin a card, but you resolved that problem and turned it into a beautiful card! It makes me long for Spring. Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players this week! XX
Your card turned out fabulous Becky, Beautiful colors and great fussy cutting. I have not had that happen to me "yet" but I have stamped my sentiment backwards :) :)
Beautiful, Becky! Your coloring is wonderful. Yep...more than once I have dropped an inked stamp onto a card. Your fussy cutting was a great way to save it. Thanks for sharing at The Paper Players this week!
