PinkFresh Studios Frame Challenge

Hi All!  Today I am playing along with the April Challenge at PinkFresh Studios.  The challenge this month is frames and shakers and/or a lovely color palette.  I decided to use both on my card.  I began by die cutting the beautiful leaf frame and then aligned and stamped the oval in the center of the frame.  I stamped the sprigs and selectively stamped the dots from one of the sprigs to get the bit of orange splatter.  Finally I stamped the sentiment and mounted to a pink panel.  A pretty straight forward card, the hardest part was getting everything positioned as I wanted it.

Simple Love

Hi, today I am playing along the April Theme and Sketch Challenge at Stamplorations.  I decided to follow both the fun sketch and the theme to use stamps and watercolors.  I'm not much of a watercolorist so I opted to watercolor wash a couple of panels.  I was the lucky winner of a super playful and sweet sentiment stamp (Typografia Romantique: I Love You) by Stamplorations and I chose that as my focal image.  On the background panel I stamped & embossed a couple of leaf images from the Awesomely Artistic Stampin' Up set to represent the arrows in the sketch.  I love the movement of the watercolor but in hindsight I would have made the focal panel darker or perhaps embossed in black so it would stand out more.  All in all I am happy with the card and had fun playing with the watercolors.

Happy Stamping,

Dana
