Make It A Beautiful Day

How did it get to be Monday again? Hello, friends hope you're having a beautiful day. I think our warm weather is finally here to day and hopefully spring will hang around for awhile before it gets too hot.

I do love roses, and pulled out my Zig Clean Color markers last night to color for fun using the gorgeous Sketchbook Roses stamps from The Greetery. These are layering stamps and I look forward to the loose flowing watercolor look achieved by stamping the colors. 



I was thrilled with the vibrant colors of the markers. After coloring I added white gel pen accents. I complemented that element by tapping spatters of white gouache onto the gray textured DSP used behind the bouquet. 

Sentiments are all from the same stamp set. I had to make myself STOP before adding a few black dots or even sequins. The die cut florals are exquisite on their own! The Halfsies die cut was used to create the pretty frame. 

Did you notice? No challenges today. I may roll this way for a few days.

I know time is hard to come by in our busy lives. Thank you for spending time to see my project today!

Be yourself
     Delight in your craft 
        Make something beautiful!

So you layered AND watercolored? Whatever you did, it turned out amazing! Such beauty in your post today, Cindy. I sighed the moment I saw it. Beautiful stamps, dies, and design to go with your rich watercoloring.

You are a whiz with those zigs! And I love the added white from the gel pen!
