Water Coloring!!!

Good Evening Everyone!

I sure hope you all had a great day. Mine was busy

and full of laughs with the grandkids watching Rio 2.

  Now I'm pooped.

I'm taking online classes for watercoloring. Just really learning.

 I skimmed through and only really watched the videos 

that I liked the projects. Not all water coloring appeals to me, 

so I took what I liked and left the rest behind.

Wanted to get these two cards posted before I forgot.

On the first one, I used a stamp set duo by Gina K Designs 

" My Most Favorite "using Black Onyx ink.

.  I also used Jelly Bean, and Black Onyx card stock and Ribbon 

from Gina K Designs. The top layer is water color paper. 

WATER COLOR # 01

 This next card was fun to create. First I stamped the

 Magnolia from the Stately Flowers 3 set

 by Melanie Muenchenger.

 I masked the flower with rubber cement & I used

 Gina K Designs Powder Blue and

 Navy Inks to do my background water color. 

I love that I can use my Gina K Inks

 for water coloring. I then used water color pencils 

on the flower. Once dried I used Carolyn King's Elegant Flourishes

 stamped in versa mark.

 Heat set. Using Gina K Designs Black Ink I stamped the sentiment

 from the stamp set "Lots Of Lines" by Beth Silaika. 

That panel is on top of a Black Onyx card stock panel 

then wrapped Ivory ribbon

 around that and layered it on top of a Base

 of Turquoise Sea

 pure luxury card stock from Gina K Designs.

 Added some black pearls from my stash.

WATER COLOR # 02

Theresa Momber's - Vertical Greetings 2

On this card I used Gina K Designs products in:

Pure Luxury Card Stock - Turquoise Sea, Black Onyx, 

Fresh Asparagus & White layering weight. Black/White Gingham Ribbon, & a Black Brad. 

I used Spectrum Noir markers-BT- 1,2,3,4,5 DG-2,3

*****

This card I showed at the release party. 

I used that wonderful flower image again and colored it with

 Spectrum Noir markers & pencils.

 Gina K Designs Products that I used are:

Pure Luxury Card Stock : Red Hot, Black Onyx, Wild Dandelion.

Inks: Cherry Red, Red Hot, & Black. Ribbon

*

Momentos Black ink for the image. White gel pen and bling. 

*********

The next set today is Beth Silaika's : 

Keep Calm

This is a fun set, can be used so many ways.

On this card I curved the sentiments 

for the center panel. 

I thought the gentle wave action of the words 

was kinda calming.

I used Gina K Designs Pure luxury card stock

 in Sweet Corn,Dark Chocolate.

Dark chocolate Ink to match. The DP is from the new

 6x6 paper pack "Ang & Me." 

Added bling.  :)

***

This one was fun to make. I haven't used glitter in a while. 

So I did what the stamp said…

I keep calm and added glitter.  

I think this is what it would look like

 at the end of a glitter snow storm.

 I used Gina K Designs  Heavy Base White

 pure luxury card stock & Innocent Pink. 

Ink is Innocent Pink.

Glitter was from my stash.

 These sets are available at :
