Oh So Eclectic Watercolour Card for Challenge Blogs

Hi and thanks for stopping by today. It's Jay here with a watercolour card idea using the Oh So Eclectic stamp set from the Annual Catalogue

This card was inspired by the challenge at Global Design Project #GDP124 Case The Designer ~ Louise Sharp

I love Louise's bright colours and white space on her project which I tried to recreate on my card. I also used the Sahara Sand mat and Linen Thread on my watercolour card

The colours I used were inspired by the recent Stampin' Up! rebranding for their 30th Anniversary. 3 designs in the Oh So Eclectic set have a lovely watercolour wash effect when stamped but I wanted to achieve a whole watercolour look so out came the Aqua Painters

I had to be a bit creative with the 6 smaller flowers as there are no small flower stamp in the set. I used the pollen/anther (I had to google that part) stamp fo the middle parts then added 5 strokes with the Aqua Painter to create the petals. The Stampin' Markers helped to define and add shadows in some areas

For more cardmaking and papercraft inspirations, check out the challenge blog I am entering this card to:

Pinewood Planks with Hometown Greetings for #GDP119

Hope you had a lovely Christmas and enjoying the holidays. It's Jay here with a quick creative share of my challenge entry for Global Design Project #GDP119

With the theme of 'Home for the Holidays', I decided to use Hometown Greetings Edgelits with Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Emerald Envy cardstock was die cut in circle first. I applied Tranquil Tide ink on one side of the embossing folder before running through the Big Shot again. I then sponged Emerald Envy and Tranquil Tide ink around the edges

I did a quick wash of Night of Navy ink with Aqua Painter on another piece of Whisper White cardstock and placed behind

I coloured the house and trees die cut using Stampin' Markers then used Paper Snips for the bottom edge to make it look more like snow

For the detail on the left, I used Copper Trim to create a bow then tied a Gold Ribbon in the middle with the excess pulled to left and adhered with a Mini Glue Dot

I used the Leaf Punch on Vellum, shaped with the Paper Snips and tucked under the bow

To finish the card, I used Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to accent some areas of the die cuts and leaves as well as flicking against the lid to create random splatters

Products used:

Hometown Greetings Edgelits Dies

Pinewood Planks TIEF

Leaf Punch

Layering Circles Framelits Dies

You still have plenty of time to play along so check out the Design Team's creations back at Global Design Project and other entries for #GDP119.
