Another Adirondack Chair Card

I really liked this card when I finished it and I'm very glad I took a picture because I used it in a pinch for a friend's birthday card when I happened to have it with me and I knew she would appreciate it.

The flowered cs on the front is from a pad of coordinating papers and I thought the colors went well with the watercolored image. I absolutely LOVE polka dot ribbon and I don't remember where I got this very thin green ribbon but thought it was just perfect on here... used a little Crystal Effects on the blooms and put a flat shiny dot in the middle of each...

The second photo shows the inside of the card and has another watercolored image from the same SU set...you can see I used my trusty Fiskar's embossing corner punch on the white and green cardstock.

If you've got some images like this, I suggest you stamp a bunch of them on watercolor paper and then while watching TV one evening, sit and color with markers or colored pencils... you'll then have several ready to go on cards when you need them and not have to stop and color in the images...

Til next time, happy crafting!

Adirondack Chair with Cat

The minute I first saw this stamp in the SU catalog... I knew I'd have to have it...
It is so much fun to color with my watercolor pencils and then brush the colors together with a slightly wet brush...

It was stamped on watercolor paper, colored with by pencils and then SU Crystal Effects were added to the flower blossoms... I colored several in one evening... making each cat a different color and changing up the color of the pillow...

A little difficult to see in the photo... but look closely and you can see that I used one of my many Fiskars corner embossing punches on the pink layer.

The card base is a minty green and I thought the ribbon I had on hand matched perfectly... let me know what you think! This makes a great all occasion card.
