Watercolour cards

A couple of cards using Tim Holtz distress inks as water colour and a stencil. 

Beautiful lady

This was a kit that I bought a MultiCrafts.  It included the stamp set (Graphic 45), ink, papers, feathers, pins, flower and diecuts.  I coloured in the stamp with my own ink.

Miscellaneous bunch...

More random cards using the box of cards I bought at Michaels.

Stamp: Inkadinkado

Stamp and Ink: Tim Holtz
Smile: MME

Random bits from my scrap table.

Butterfly punch: Recollections

ScrapShotz Card challenge - Masculine

Easy-peasy card. Just a bunch of MME diecuts layered on a Pebbles card base.

Tim Holtz Crazy Birds

These birds are SO CUTE and I've been wanting to use these stamps ever since I got them. I made two of this bird just in case one didn't turn out....but they both did, so I made two cards.

First card:

• background paper: WRMK pocket cards
• The smaller card was inked up with the Tim Holtz distress inks.
• Hello diecut: MME
• Ink: Tim Holtz distress inks
• Black ink: Ranger Archival

Note: I masked the eyes and beak while inking the birds. 

On this second card:

• Card Base: DCWV
• Sentiment diecut: MME
• Distress Ink: Tim Holtz
• Rhinestone: FabScraps?
• Black ink: Ranger Archival

Butterfly Tag

I experimented here by scribbling some markers on acetate, sprayed it with water and then lay the watercolour paper on top.  I had to do it several times to get full coverage, drying the paper in between layers.
