I am very pleased to be a new member of The Watercooler Challenges Team! Today, my card is featured on the challenge website. Watercooler Challenges Website

I love this Catherine Scanlon \”Stacked\” stamp set. I recently purchased it at a Card Convention and made a similar watercolor card on Bristol cardstock – Bristol Card– This time, I wanted to try it on Ranger Distress Cardstock. I used Tombow Dual Tip Watercolor Markers and Princess Gold Embossing powder and I love how it turned out.

CAS Floral Card

September 12, 2018 Karen Brown7 Comments

My daughter is getting married this month and my sister is hosting a Bridesmaid\’s luncheon for Kristen. I wanted to make a thank you card to go with the hostess gift. I had a Catherine Scanlon (Clara Paisley) stamp set that I hadn\’t used yet so I decided to play with it. I was VERY pleased with the clean and simple finished card.

I found a Copic color scheme that I really like: V04, B02 and YG01. Just three colors and very easy to stamp, color and duplicate.

I am looking forward to giving this card to my sister.

Watercolor Tea Cup Card

August 3, 2018 Karen Brown7 Comments

I went to a Card Convention in June and bought several fun new stamp sets. This one is Catherine Scanlon Stacked. I have a friend who loves tea and I thought this would make the perfect Birthday card for her.

I love fancy little teacups so I decided to emboss the cups in gold on Bristol paper. I did a google search for teacups and used the results as inspiration for my color palette. I painted with watercolor markers and then added an embossed sentiment on contrasting black cardstock.

I really enjoyed making this card and think I will try a Get Well card next.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
