Welcome to the April edition of Club Scrap's Blog Hop. If you found your way from Annette's Blog you are in the right spot. If you stumbled upon me, I am glad you are here. This month we are featuring the Botanicals collection from Club Scrap.
I got to this one late due to a family emergency calling me out of town, and almost bowed out, but I missed last months because of an eye issue, and I thought well if anything I can show how fast and easy something fun can come together.
Basically I decided to play. I grabbed my collection of all sorts of water color type mediums (twinkles, sparkling H20 and my Reeves water colors). I grabbed a cup of water and a brush and some water color paper.
I trimmed my water color paper to 4 x 5.25 then I grabbed my colors and my brush and I played with combinations of complimentary colors and washed the paper and splattered it. I used extra water so when I stood my papers up to dry the water would drip creating a neat effect.
When dry I used a variety of stamps from the Botanicals collections to decorate in coordinating colors.
I use the pink and brown card stock from the collection as the card base.
