Watercolor Bouquet

Hi there,

I have some fantastic news for you. You may remember that I was guest designing for Mennys Bastelshop in the month of May and what can I tell you, it was a match made in heaven and so I can stay on the Design Team: From today on I will show you my Mennys Bastelshop projects on Thursdays. For this card I chose one of my all-time favorites - the no-line watercolor look and since the theme of our inspiration week is "Danke - thank you" I chose a  matching sentiment:

  • stamp one of the images from the Waffle Flower Bouquet Builder 6 set with Distress Oxide Ink Lost Shadow
  • color the image with watercolors
  • cut out the Lawn Fawn Scripty Thanks and add color with watercolor as well
  • add a strip of colored cardstock to the left and right side of the watercolor panel before adhering it to a cardbase
I hope you will be joining me on Thursdays for more Mennys Bastelshop projects.

Hugs,
