Patient Echinacea

 

Good Wednesday morning! I got happy mail yesterday from Creative Worship Stamps! They have been sold out of the Patient Echinacea Bundle for awhile and it recently became available. I love the fun, hand drawn look of this set and it's a fun one to color! I made two cards with similar backgrounds. I started with designer paper from an old 12x12" Vintage Shabby pad by Tim Holtz. 

On the first card, I used the single damask stencil by Creative Worship Stamps and added Liquitex light modeling paste. The second card uses the Damask Pattern stencil with Frayed Burlap distress ink over the patterned paper.

I smooshed distress ink onto my glass mat and spritzed with water. I then colored the images using an aquapainter brush. The clipboard was a leftover scrap that I had swiped using distress inks (not sure what colors I used as it was weeks ago that I made it).

 

The "hello" sentiment was from an old sticker sheet and the thank you sentiment tag is from a Phrase Tags set by Jen Hadfield (Pebbles Inc.).

I stamped the images with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink then clear embossed. This really makes it easier to do water coloring within the lines.

 

STAMPS: Patient Echinacea, Clipboard (Creative Worship Stamps). 

INK: Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Peacock Feathers, Frayed Burlap, Worn Lipstick, Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold distress (Ranger).
