Hugs from my friend

Happy Thursday everybody!

Yesterday was the beginning of a new Simon Wednesday Challenge - No Stamps Allowed, and this theme is just too fun to pass up.



To make this card without using stamps, I pulled out my SSS Harvest Stencil, I tapped my Versamark Watermark Ink Pad all over it and place a watercolor panel on it, press really well so the ink transfer; then I white heat embossed it.


Then I wet the whole panel with water, and drop watercolors on it.


I spritz the panel with more water when it got dry.


Once the panel dried completely I added more watercolors in selected area to accentuate them.


Then I die cut it and glued to a white card base at an angle.  And I added a 'hugs' die cut sent to me by my craft friend Lin, and embellished with a few sequins.


Challenges:



Supplies:

Holbein Artists' Watercolors
Little Things from Lucy's Cards Sequins (Fruit Sorbet, Cantaloupe)


Lastly I want to share a photo of the beautiful orchid plants that is currently blooming in my craft room.



Thanks for stopping by.  Have a lovely day!!

Gorgeous card and I loved seeing your pretty orchids. I love orchids as well. I have seven plants blooming right now and can’t believe my good luck. Such a treat in February here in Chicago.
