Don’t you love projects that are quick, easy and versatile? Well, this watercolor flower frame project is going to be right up your ally. I recorded a video which is less that 10 minutes start to finish. I used a Happy Birthday sentiment from Gina K Designs but you could leave it empty until you need it and then stamp the sentiment.
Flower Frame Card Details:
Step 1 – the design:
Using a pencil, trace lightly around the inside of the oval onto watercolor paper.
Step 2 – the flowers and foliage:
I inked up the flower with Grape and Olive Green and stamped it several times using the pencil line as a guide. Then inking up the new foliage with Olive Green, I stamped that along the guideline behind the flowers. I repeated this on the bottom of the oval.
Step 3 – the frame:
After adding water to the flowers and foliage, I re-lined up my oval with the pencil line. Using the #40 Brownish Gray marker, I traced the outline using my die as a guide on both sides. I pulled the color out of the lines. I added a little more #40 to my palette and water colored underneath the flowers and foliage and along the line on the left and right to give some depth.
Step 4 – finishing details:
Using my Misti stamping tool, I stamped the Gina K Designs Happy Birthday sentiment in the middle of the oval with Gina K Designs black onyx ink. I cut it out using the Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle. Then, I mounted it on a mat made from Gina K Designs Bubble Gum cardstock. I mounted the entire piece on a white card base.
