I’m very happy to be back with you for this month’s HLS Watercolor challenge.

Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.

I have 2 cards to share with you today.

Here’s my first card using multiple HLS products, Brusho Watercolor Crystals and a gold glass pen.

To make this card:

I made a stencil with a butterfly die and stamped in butterflies in the negative spaces of the stencil.
Removed the stencil and masked off the stamped images.
Sprinkled on red Brusho crystals.
Spritzed with water.
Allowed to the water dry and fussy cut the panel.
Added some gold accents with the glass pen.
Stamped, cut and added the sentiment.
Assembled the card with foam tape and snail adhesive.Here’s card#2. Comparatively, it’s a very CAS (Clean and Simple) card. I used stamps from Doodled Flowers.

I hope that you enjoyed your visit.

Thanks for stopping by!

My father took this photo of my mother and I. Isn’t it lovely?!

My mother made the dress for herself. Doesn’t she look beautiful?

And how about that steaming-hot, roasted turkey? Mmmmmmm! Are you hungry now?

I AM!

Okay! Back to business.

I used Happy Little Stampers Thinking of You, Doodled Flowers and Butterfly Birthday.

Can you find where I used all of the different HLS products?

Here’s my card. Thinking Spring!

I used stamps from Happy Little Stampers’ Thinking of You

and Fun Birthday Sentiments.

I started this card by creating a smooshed blue and yellow Brusho Crystal Color background panel. Next, I used a butterfly die cut as a stencil and sponged on blue ink through the negative spaces. I stamped with the large script background stamp from Thinking of You stamp and the Happy Birthday in blue ink. I traced the large sentiment with white gel pen.

I started the panel with the Brushos last summer at the first HLS retreat in Swindon. I finished the card back at my house in Germany. I sprayed the panel with homemade blue alcohol ink and added blue gel pen around the stenciled butterfly. img_5888_edited-1

Here’s my card.

I used a stamp from Happy Little Stampers’ Thinking of You.

I started this card by creating a smooshed Brushos background panel. Then I stamped with some real leaves, inked up with green ink. I made the basic panel with the Brushos and the leaves first summer at the first HLS retreat in Swindon. I finished the card back at my house in Germany. At my house, I stamped with the large script stamp in gold metallic ink. img_4067_edited-1
