OMGoodness - is it really almost the end of August already? This summer has just blown right past me - I was *just* marvelling that July was over then I blinked and it's now almost September! I tend to be running around like a crazy person (LOL) at the best of times and as usual this month's MFT release is no different.
There are SOOOOO many amazing products being released this month and I am reallyreallyREALLY trying to carve out some time to play some more with them b/c my stamping "mojo" is finally starting to come back! So I have my *fingers crossed* that I can pull it off - though for today's post I've only got one simple card - I did have more ideas but that dratted thing called "time" got away from me again (that and 4 children needing to be fed and whatnot... *wink*).
Anywho - make sure you check out MFT's blog post for all of today's info b/c I'm only showing a teeny bit of what's being peeked today. Plus there's links to all the other DT member's blog posts and if you aren't already following their blogs you should - they are AMAZINGLY talented!!
I am in love with the new Delicate Pretty Poppies stamp set. I didn't do it justice IMO as I haven't watercolored in forever, and I literally had all 4 kids running (well the little man was hanging out on a play mat - but the other 3 were running!) around the studio here and it was hard to focus LOL! That plus one really needs to have patience with watercolour and that's something I struggle with at the best of times (just being honest here!).
This is a 4-bar sized note-card (3.5 by 4 7/8") made from watercolour card stock. I haven't used this kind very much and so this was more of an experiment on my part - and like I said time got away from me so I'm sharing it here with y'all instead of making more and improving it LOL!
I haven't done much (if any? I honestly can't remember) "no-line" watercoloring - so I thought I'd give that a bit of a shot too. I stamped the image with MFT's Natural Hybrid ink - which is a bit darker and obviously shows up as you can still see it - but I needed that b/c I needed to SEE what I was doing with all my munchkins running around so I had half my eye on them at the same time *wink*.
I used my Peerless watercolours and once I was OK with it all and it was dry I stamped the sentiment with Black Licorice Hybrid ink then picked up some more of the Peerless red with the watercolour brush and splattered it onto the card.
**some links will not work until the products are released in the MFT Store on September 1, 2015 at 10pm EST**
