Since I had the watercolor paper and water brushes out, and I had so much fun painting this image that I used in the Stamp Review Crew hop, I decided to do another in a different color palette. I used StazOn Jet Black to stamp the tiered planter, instead of the Saddle Brown used before.
I've really been in a Spring color mood, so this time I used purples and yellows with a gray planter. The gray represents the gloomy gray weather we've been having. (Not really, but it sounded good, right? š) Our daffodils are sprouting and will be blooming soon. They're the bright yellow harbingers of Spring here on the farm, and I can't wait!
Because I loved the image so much, and wanted it to be the focal point, I just used a narrow black mat behind it, and popped it up on a wider Gray Granite mat, which was then popped up on the card base. No embellishments - just let the image carry the card.
Measurements
- Watercolor paper 2 3/8" x 3 1/2"
- Basic Black mat 2 1/2" x 3 5/8"
- Gray Granite mat 2 7/8" x 4"
- Gray Granite card base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored & folded at 4 1/4"
What a beautiful card. The photo is so lovely I actually thought it was wall art and if I received that in the mail I would probably frame it. Thanks for inspiring, as I didn't really care for that stamp set until seeing this image singled out. Well done!
