Wrapping up the March Papertrey Ink Release with a little review! I have just a few more cards to share using the new goodies from this release.
First up, What the Doodle: Feather....
I heat embossed the images on the watercolor paper and then added in watercolor with a small round brush. I even did some blending!
I heat embossed the sentiment on 2 banners and then added in sequins to finish it off.

For this next card, I used Bloomin' Cute and Keep it Simple: Encouragement....
I did a very light watercolor wash in the background and then added in the stamped flowers to the front of the wash. I added in the sentiment last along with some rain drops to complete the card.
I did some ink blending in the background for the grass and sky, after heat embossing the ombre sentiments along the side. I added in the vellum balloons last and finished it off with a tiny red heart.
I have been practicing watercoloring for the past couple weeks. Keeping the good ones, trashing the not so good ones. This background was a keeper. I added the black die cut to the card and then stamped the rest of the sentiment around it. I popped the whole card front up on fun foam to give the card some dimension.
I will have some more cards for this release to share soon. Please come back to see them soon! Thank you so much for coming by! Stop over to Nichole's blog to see the whole release!
Have a great day!
Very pretty cards
ReplyDeleteLOVELY cards!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs a rule, I am not a feather fanatic, but I really loved your feathers!! They did not look like bird feathers; they were fantastical and fun!
ReplyDeleteI like your embossed birthday sentiments along the left card edge, and the simplicity of your religious card with a pretty watercolor!
ReplyDeleteI love these all! Some of my favorites from this release, especially on that last card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy and colourful group of cards! I'm really drawn to the feathers and all the details in them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards love the feather and the watercoloring. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get the Lord die? You did such a simple but lovely card with that die
ReplyDeleteEverything you see here will be available tonight at Papertrey Ink! :)
DeleteAbsolutely love your ink blending card and how you stacked up the ombre sentiments.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Laurie! I think you've mastered the watercoloring by looking at your stunning "Trust in the Lord" card.
ReplyDeleteLaurie!!! Aaaaaaaah! I am in love!! I *adore* what you did with Bloomin' Cute. The colors remind me of Mary Engelbreit - so fun and happy; but there is something about it that makes me think of Kathy Davis' designs, too. I love it!!!!! Your feather card made me catch my breath, too. Love, love!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! Can I ask which brand of watercolour paper you use? It looks so white....thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the feathers! And love the colors on the 3rd and 4th cards background!
ReplyDeleteLove each and every one Laurie!! The colors on your feathers are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I'm especially in love with that feather, and then anything with scriptures!
ReplyDeleteI love these cards, Laurie. love how you colored those feathers.
ReplyDeleteOoooo...I love your watercolored feathers!!! Soooo pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteTime and time again you blow me away with your incredible cards! Loved all of these, and wanted to CASE each one. In the end I chose to CASE your floral bouquet...you are the best at those. PS I love that you are trying the watercoloring thing. I haven't had the courage to dabble much, but seeing your lovely results and reading that even someone like you doesn't produce perfect results every time makes me want to give it a go. :)
ReplyDeletePretty, I love the bright springy colors on the last one.
