Watercolored Sunflowers #18 AAA Cards

AAA Cards Game 18

Play with Watercolors

 I can't believe it's game #18 at AAA Cards already and we're playing with watercoloring some more! I'm still getting acquainted with the technique and have not moved to paints yet. So today I've used an outline stamp (as opposed to a solid image stamp). With Distress Inks applied directly to the stamp in the colors you see - onto watercolor paper. Again I'm using the aqua brush to push the colors inward from the edge to fill in the the image colors. This is quick and easy. Why make it difficult if time is limited? The sunflowers are hanging on and still beautiful here in New England. Soon it will be the reds, burnt orange and browns of fall.

Yellow Daisies AAA Cards #17

AAA Cards - Game #17 CREATE with Stenciling

I have so many different types of stencils in my crafting stash. Metal, plastic, dry embossing stencils and who knows what else. These daisies are from one that I did not know that I had! I thought the image was perfect for this time of year. I sponged with Distress Inks in mustard seed, fired brick and peeled paint. I'm pretending that they are sunflower look-a-likes. The sunflowers are in full bloom here in New England and just glorious! The gingham ribbon gives them a country feel.
