Friendship Watercolor Flowers Card

Today, I posted this card to Scrapbook Adhesives byby 3L Blog.  


I used flowers that I painted with watercolors and then added doodle details. They are one of my go-to things iwhen I need a card.  I learned the basics for making them in Fodder School and then put my own twist on them....of course! 

I used pieces from my stash of leftover scraps under the flowers, embossed white cardstock and pink  painted cardstock.  

All the details about this card are on Scrapbook Adhesives blog - HERE.  

Thanks for stopping!

Watercolor Flowers Friend Card

Cards with my own watercolor flowers have become my favorite cards to make!  As long as I have flowers painted and ready in my collage fodder notebook, these cards are easy to make.  


If you follow me on Instagram, I sometimes post photos of these flowers in process.  I start by painted simple shapes to form a flower shape.  Once it's dry, I add outlines and details with a black Uni-Ball Signo pen and a white one.  That's when the flowers gain their personality!  Thanks to @TiffanySimplySharpe and @WillaWanders for Fodder School class where I learned a few techniques to get started making flowers! 


The oval white background was left over from another project. I found a piece of pink paper to coordinate with my flowers and stamped a grid pattern on it with white ink. The flowers are fastened in place with 3D Foam Squares.  I fussy cut the verse after stamping with black ink.  It's from Penny Black. It's also fastened with 3D Foam Squares.  I tucked a pearl cotton bow under the flowers.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Mini Watercolor Flowers Card


I wrote this post and never published it!  Not sure how I did that! 
I posted this project on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L on January 29, 2023.  There's link below in my post to go there.


Hello friends!

Today, I have a card posted on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog featuring mini die cut flowers that have been colored with watercolors.  I chose not to use all the die-cut pieces for centers and shading and instead painted shading and centers. I love how pretty the colors are on that tiny envelope!  


Flower dies are from Sizzix Tim Holtz Brushstroke Flowers, Mini and the envelope is from Postale. The stamp for definition and verse are from Heidi Swapp February Agenda.  I used Distress Oxide inks Forest Moss, Uncharted Mariner and Lumberjack Plaid for stamping.  The "Just for You" is an old stamp that I have.  Those words could easily be handwritten instead. 



You can find all the directions with step out photos HERE.

Thanks for visiting!
