Pretty Watercolored Peonies Card

Hi! It's Lynnea with a new video tutorial to share with you! I did a bit of letterpressing and a bit of watercoloring and made a simple and pretty card. 









I started by letterpressing the Peony Impress-ion Press + Foil Plate into an A2 Cotton Watercolor Panel with Raven Hybrid Ink. Next I pressed the Stripes Impress-ion Press + Foil Plate right where the peonies stopped to create a striped border. I grabbed some of my favorite watercolors and added color to the pressed image. I stamped a sentiment from the Billowing Blossoms 4x6 Stamps and cut it out with the Coordinating Dies and added it towards the bottom of my panel. 






All that's left to do is trim down the panel, add a blue layer, and add everything to an A2 card base! Thanks for joining me!

Planting the Garden Impress-ion Card

I have a card that's cute, simple, and perfect for spring! I used press plates to create letterpressed images and colored them with alcohol markers to create an adorable scene.






I started by pressing images from the Planting the Garden Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates into a Cotton Watercolor Panel with Raven Hybrid Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I blended Four Leaf Hybrid Ink towards the bottom of an A2 card base and Marina Madness Hybrid Ink towards the top. I faded both inks to white in the center to create a highlight and make a more realistic looking scenic background.






I added my images to the card with foam tape and stamped a sentiment from the Love & Friendship Sentiments 4x8 Stamps with Raven Hybrid Ink towards the top of my card and that's it! I'll see you again soon!
