Shoe Flowers | Watercolor Weekend | Art Impressions Stamps

shoe flowers

Thank you so much for joining us for another watercolor weekend!  We are so excited you stopped by.  This weekend I decided to create a simple flower arrangement.  This is my Shoe Flowers project.  Let me tell you how I created this quick and easy project.

Project Details

I started off by inking up the worn shoe with 969.  I stamped it off and then stamped it in the middle of my watercolor paper.  I pulled the color out of the lines, using the artist drawn lines as a guide for my shadows.  To create a gray color, I mixed my 969 and 569 on my palette and added it to the show along with some straight 969 to get some variations in color.

Next, I added some of the daisy bunches from the original flower set 1, inked with 636 and stamped several bunches on the top of the shoe.  For the pink flower, I inked up the flower buds from Flower set 4 with 725 and stamped it a few times in the middle of the shoe opening.  Before I add the foliage, I pulled some of the color out of the buds.

Once that was dry, I added some vines from the original foliage set 1 inked with 249.  I tried to stamp the vine around the flower bunches to make it fuller.  Then I added some water to the leaves.  For a finishing touch, I added some of the left and right stems from foliage set 4 inked with 452.  This just adds a little detail that creates interest.  To ground the shoe, I lightly brushed some 569 along the bottom of the shoe.

I also used the side butterfly from the Butterfly set inked with 569.  As you can see, the bottom of the butterfly wings aren’t really dark but I thought it added an interesting touch.  I added some additional color from my palette (636 and 569) to pull the piece together.  As always, nothing like a little sparkle to make me happy, so I added some Wink of Stella to the butterfly wings and the blooms.  Lastly, I signed and dated.

Card Details

I die cut the watercolor piece with my rectangle stitched dies and mounted it on a piece of Gina K Designs edible eggplant card stock.  I added that to my card base.

And that is it!  This project didn’t take any time at all to create and you could add any sentiment you needed for a card that is ready to go.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you will tag me and my teammates on Instagram so we can see what you are creating this weekend.  I love all the inspiration I get from seeing all of your projects.

We will see you again in March for the next watercolor weekend!  Have a crafty day!
