Garden Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin' Sisterhood Garden Blog hop! I'm so glad you are able to join us today.  If you arrived from Charlene Driggs' blog, you're in the right place!

I came up with a very clean and simple design today as I was in the mood to water color my garden, and I wanted that to be the focus of my card.

After marking the rectangular shape on my water color paper where I wanted my garden scene, I stamped the image four times with Versamark and heat embossed with black embossing powder.  I used a mixture of Adirondack and Stampin' Up reinkers and a water color brush to color my entire scene.  I framed my scene with deckled rectangle Nestabilities, stamped my sentiment and was done!

Here are the supplies I used to make my CAS card:
Stamps:  Wildflower Set
Paper:  Watercolor
Ink:  Adirondack Cloudy Blue and Lettuce; Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler and Marigold Morning
Accessories:  Versamark, black embossing powder, heat tool, deckled Nestabilities
