Bountiful Birthday!


Hi friends!

Happy Fall!

I love this time of year 
with all the wonderful colors and scents and freshness to the season!
It's all still VERY green here as it will be all year
but a girl can dream!



My card is for Splitcoaststampers Watercolor Wednesday 
and we're up to the 17 in the series!
This week's theme is watercolor imprints
and this is easy to do with a stencil.

For my card's background, 
I've used the randomness stencil from Picket Fence Studios.
I started with Canson #140 watercolor paper and my Kuretake Gansai pans.
The flora is die cut papers using Honey Cuts from Honey Bee Stamps
and I added a sentiment from one of my My Favorite Things stamp sets.





After watercoloring the stencil, I set it onto the watercolor paper 
and put a book on top to press the color into the paper.
After about 30 minutes or so, I let it dry  naturally the rest of the way
and then put the card together pretty easily!

For the final touch, I used some gold watercolor paint and
used my paintbrush to splatter bright pops of gold color onto the background.




And that's it from me!

Thanks for stopping by :)
Big hugs, bigger blessings!

  7. The background is amazing Kelly. Love the colours and design.
    Thanks for the comment on my blog re: nose problem. I still have the problem and had a scan a few weeks ago. I am having a blood test in 2 weeks and then an MRI scan. I will then have to go to see a professor in the smell and taste in the hospital. So I will let you know if anything comes from that. Big hugs and blessings, Carol S.xxxx

  12. Kelly, thank you for joining us at The Rainbow Card Challenge. I LOVE YOUR CARD!!! I never thought of coloring the stencil!!! I will certainly have to try that. I have a stencil that I love but I thought I could only use it to fill in the spaces... now you tell me I can color the lines and have a totally different look... WOW!!!
    Hope to see you in our challenge next month.
