Last Monday’s Technique challenge was to color an image with watercolor pencils and then blend them with watercolor brush and pink twinkling H2O. I thought that sounded interesting and gave it a whirl. I went a little bit overboard with the Twinkling H2O’s, but it was still fun.
I stamped the image from the Serene Spring hostess set in Black Stazon on a 2 3/8″ x 3 1/4″ piece of watercolor paper. It was colored with Watercolor Pencils that were blended with my Aqua Painter and Rose Twinkling H2O’s.
The corners were punched with the ticket corner punch and the edges were paper pierced. The watercolor paper was adhered to a 1/4″ bigger piece of Basic Black cardstock. Each four corners were ticket corner punched as well.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half. It was topped with a 4″ Pink Pirouette cardstock square that had a 2 3/8″ x 4″ layer of the retired Rose Red Prints Designer Paper attached to the bottom. The designer paper was distressed with a sanding block and Striped Bashful Blue grosgrain ribbon was tied around the top. The top right corner of the Pink Pirouette layer was paper pierced.
The sentiment was stamped in two rows, punched out with the small oval punch and layered first on a 1″ pink pirouette circle, then on a Black designer label punchout. A Flower designer brad with an 1/8″ bashful blue cardstock circle in it’s center finish off the sentiment. To tie in the hardware, I added two styled silver brads on the left hand side next to the top and bottom corner of the image.

That’s the coolest name for a card that I have ever heard! LOL! I’m not a fan of pink but pink and black? Love it. Will I put it in my regular rotation of colors I use? Probably not. But that’s what I have you for, Beate! I can come to YOUR blog and oooh! and ahhhh! over your color combos and then slink back over to MY blog and continue to be scared to step outside of my color comfort zone…LOL!
Have a wonderful day!

I have been looking at your site now for some time, and thought it time I added my thanks to you for your very interesting cards, and the detail you give for all the components to make. I love your blog and once again thanks

WOW~ Great detail work!
Your title is almost as cute as your card. I always enjoy when you tuck a brad or flower on your sentiment. It’s adds so much punch. Pretty piercing, too.
Hugs, Mary
Beautiful card. Nothing looks overboard at all. Love it!
