High Hopes Challenge #103

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...

It's time for the High Hopes Challenge.

This weeks challenge is brought to us by
DEBBY
and she has chosen
"FEMALE BIRTHDAY"

For my card I am using these gorgeous flowers
designed by artist Laurie Furnell

DH Bloomin' Flower Border
Bloomin Daisy Corner
DH Bloomin' Corner

I am using a different technique this week for my
watercoloring....Tombows and the blender pen!!
When using the blender pen you are able to
use ordinary white cardstock and you don't
need to emboss the images!!

I stamped all the images with Stazon jet black
ink. Tombows are a dual tip marker and instead of
using the brush tip...this time I used the journaling
tip. I traced around the inside of each image.
Using the blender pen I went back into each
petal and leaf and picked up the ink from
the inside edges.... to just have light shaded
color. The bloomin' border that I have used
on the envelope was a perfect fit for the flap...
so using the same technique I decorated the
envelope. When coloring on a thin paper such
as the envelope be sure to put a piece of
cardstock inside the envelope in case the
ink bleeds through.
This is a great technique for a quick and
easy watercoloring effect.
I hope you like it!!
