Flowing Fountain Card

Welcome back to my site!!! Today it’s Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop time and today we have a fun color combo as our challenge! Check it out!

 

It’s a very soft color combo and I needed a Sympathy card, so I wanted to ink up the beautiful Flowing Fountain stamp set for the first time since I got it and here is what I came up with using watercolor technique as to me this set is all about that.

I made it very vintage looking with the coloring and I pulled in the colors we were set out to work with.  Hope you like it…

INSTRUCTIONS TO CREATE THE FLOWING FOUNTAIN CARD:

1. I started out with the card base, which is Sahara Sand card stock 4-1/4 x 8-1/2 score and fold at 5-1/2 and ran the card front through the Layered Leaves Embossing folder.
2. Next, I cut a 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 size watercolor paper panel and stamped the fountain image on it and the birds using Sahara Sand ink
3. Next, using Aqua Painters I watercolored the images:
   1. Fountain: Sahara Sand, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party (water)
   2. Birds: Highland Heather, Pear Pizzazz and Sahara Sand
   3. Sky: Pool Party
   4. Grass: Pear PIzzazz
4. Next, I cut a 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 Pear Pizzazz Striped DSP and adhered it under the art panel and adhered them on top of the card front.
5. Cut a 2-1/2 x 1/2 strip of Sahara Sand card stock and stamped the sympathy sentiment on it using Sahara Sand ink and cut a banner in the left end and adhered it on top of the card.

And here is another shot of my card created with Flowing Fountain stamp set and watercoloring.
