GIU Day 3

Welcome to my third posting for GIU for this week.  I have watercoloring supplies out, and used images from 3/2018 KOTM.  This post is a tribute to my Mother, she was quite the artist, loved flowers and her favorite colors purple and yellow.

  I used Distress ink Seedless Preserves for the background. The background stamp is Spilled Paint Unity/Brutus Monroe.  Once the background stamp was inked, I spritzed a little water on it, then stamped it onto Canson Mixed Media cardstock. The tulip image was stamped onto Arches watercolor paper. It was cut out with a MFT die.
  The distress ink was applied to a craft mat and then spritzed with water, and painted onto the tulip.  I added a touch of Distress marker for highlight.  I took a sponge and grabbed some color from the stamp(that I had not cleaned off yet) and sponged the edge of the card.
  The cardstock is SU Marvelous Magenta (retired).  I finished off the card with a bow. I added the  sentiment  from 12/16 Sentiment kit (Special Wishes).

  Same card, same process- using Scattered Straw Distress ink.  Greenery was done with Forest Moss and Mowed Lawn. I added SU so saffron ribbon.

 I had one image left over, so decided to make it up without a background stamp.

 Whoa- that red cardstock is Gina K Red Velvet, and the rich red ink is Arteza waterbrush pen.  I used a sentiment from Gracielle Designs. The red layer under the image is embossed for texture, and the image is cut with a MFT die.
