Congrats to Jeanne, the newest Featured Stamper! I had the honor of being on a design team w/ Jeanne a few years back. I know Jeanne does a lot of watercolor, so I dug thru my watercolor backgrounds for my card. I was inspired by THIS card because I like the hot air balloon theme. So I kept that but I used different images, different colors & made mine a birthday card.
I had just enough of a left over watercolor bg in the pinks/purples to stamp & fussy cut my hot air balloons. I added just a little white pencil on the zigzag lines. The green/yellow bg was one of those that didnât really work when I made it. So I tried a technique (from one of Lydiaâs Challenge last year) where you take a fine line pen & outline all of the watercolor sections. She called it Topographic Watercolor. I was surprised how much it improved the look of it & how I liked it behind the balloons. You just never know when a âfailâ will work out in the future.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & links are on my blog: The Write Stuff
