Watercolor

This card uses all CTMH products: water colors and the September Stamp of the Month Paper Flowers, stamped in Gypsy ink. 

I'm taking the onlinecardclasses.com watercolor class - it's the second one they have offered. It really challenges me to play with all of the watercoloring mediums I have. This is a Clearly Besotted stamp I bought for the first class a while ago. Used Derwent Inktemse pencils to color the flowers, and CTMH water colors to color the background. I could make backgrounds all day long! I'll post some more over the next few days. 

Through the Window

A variety of products used here. Flowers from Cathetine Poolers Stamp of Approval Box, Stampin Up and CTMH inks, some retired SU DSP for the background. SU sentiment. 

A Card Comes Together

I saw another card that had a watercolor background and a butterfly cut from Artistry. I cut several butterflies and saw a stencil with the negative cut. So I sponged using Thistle, Honey and Smoothie. Then I took the CTMH Watercolrs and colored one of the butterflies I cut out. Left it to dry and went to work. I found some cute little background fillers and stamped them. Hello is from one of the National Stamp Month sets. I love them! Thistle paper run through embossing folder. 

Pink Ombré

Had fun making this birthday card I have to send this week. Using CTMH water colors to create the ombré background. First I stamped the stamps from CTMH Blossoming Expressions, a new stamp set and embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment is from the National stamp month stamp sets. Hand cut the flower. Cricut to cut the banners? Shimmer tape too! 

CTMH Halloween

This was fun to make. Using CTMH Nevermore Paper cut into 1 inch squares, and several Halloween cuts from the CTMH cartridges and the Cricut Explore. Liquid Glass on the spider, lots of distressing with black in. 

CTMH September SOTM Paper Flowers.

The September SOTM Paper Flowers is a beautiful stamp set. I've used all CTMH products on these cards - and new papers and ink colors!  The new colors are very pretty - Saffron, Eggplant and Pomegranate used here. I especially like the new green called Fern.  The Sangria paper packet is perfect for fall cards - and I used the Cricut Explore and a couple of the CTMH cartridges to cut the flowers and the label that the sentiment is on for the second card. The sentiments are from a set called Happy to be Friends.

September Stamp of the Month

Gift Bag using CTMH Artiste

I saw a bag made like this and had to make one. I haven't made any flowers for awhile, so I took just a few minutes to get the rolling just right. Now I want to make more. I used the Operation Smile stamp set Happy Everything for the sentiment, and Shower Flowers to stamp the sweet little flowers on the tag. Colors are Canary, Crystal Blue and Pixie. Sweet Leaf for the leaves. The thick twine is also CTMH.
