Club Scrap September Artist Team Challenge Watercolor Feel

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the Club Scrap Artist Team Challenge. This month we were challenged to create a "Watercolor" feel to our projects. Below you will find some cards I made with a watercolor feel to it. Before we get started if you came from Roni's Blog then you came from the right place. If you didn't you can start at the beginning with Karen from Club Scrap's Blog.

Finished card measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" folded

The base for this card is White Cardstock from the Paris Flea Market Collection. I took out my Gelli Plate and decided to try watercolor paint instead of acrylics. I was very pleased with the results. With a wide brush I spread purple, pink, red, orange and yellow. Using the White Cardstock from Paris Flea Market I placed it on top of the Gelli Plate. Once dry I stamped the image of the flower from the Vintage Botany Collection on top with Black India Ink. I diecut the panel with a Dotted Scallop Rectangle Die and matted with Black Cardstock also from the Paris Flea Market.

The base for this card is White Cardstock from the Paris Flea Market Collection. The panel for this card is using the ghost print from the same technique of previous card. I loved how this print is faded and I knew the Dandelion stamp from the Vintage Botany Collection embossed in white would create an even softer dreamy effect. The sentiment was printed from the Orchid Digital Kit but when I tried to select only this sentiment and imported in my graphic program it printed funny. However since this is a dreamy effect I decided it was perfect for my dreamy card. I diecut the panel with a Stitched Rectangle Die and matted with Black Cardstock from the Paris Flea Market.

The base for this card is the Green Cardstock from the Orchid Collection. On White Cardstock from the Paris Flea Market I cleared embossed the flower from the Wild Rose Collection. This probably wasn't the best stamp to use for the effect I wanted but I liked the results. With watercolor paint I colored in the stamps and added some Sparkle Shimmer Spritz for a sparkly effect. It's hard to see but it is pretty in real life. I trimmed the panel to 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and matted it to the Yellow Cardstock trimmed to 4" x 5 1/4". The sentiment is from the Cherry Blossoms Collection and stamped in Black India Ink.
