Pretty Jars

Hello friends. It’s Donna here, with a sneak peek for you. I have had such a lovely time playing with the Pretty Jars stamp set. The images are so whimsical.

I decided to pair the flower image to some of the lovely Watercolor Foil paper, so the first thing I did was to choose watercolour markers to suit the paper of my choice, which was the beautiful purple stripe.

I stamped the images onto watercolour paper in clear embossing ink, and heat embossed them in white. I didn’t do any masking, as the jar would be transparent.

I coloured the image with a range of watercolour markers – three different brands- from my stash. I coloured the jar in three layers. Firstly a very pale wash over the whole jar, right to the top, then a deeper shade of blue for the water, and finally some green for the water, covering the left side of the water. I used lots of water, and let the paint ‘bloom’ for a watery look.

The sentiment is from the same Pretty Jars stamp set, and I finished the card off with some pale sequins.

I love the soft look of the overall card, and will be using this set again in the very near future!

I hope this has inspired you to break out the watercolours, and create cards of your own.

Until next time, may your days be full of flowers.

Blessings,

Donna
