The tumbled glass one uses some flowers from Penny Black's Petal Party, also watercolored using my tumbled glass distress marker and a water brush. The sentiment comes from Simon's Flower Friend, and I centered the flower with an MME enamel dot.
This one I kept fairly simple, just lining it with it's coordinating solid cardstock. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday's Bring on the Sun, by Ali Edwards. Love her fonts!
The worn lipstick one uses a stamp and die from Hero Arts Antique Flowers & Butterflies stamp and die set. Again, I used my worn lipstick distress marker to color parts of the butterfly, then used a water brush to pull the color to the rest of the image. My sentiment here is another Ali Edwards set, Simply You.
And finally, this shaded lilac version may be my favorite.....it is such a pretty shade. Again, I used the Penny Black Petal Party flowers and watercolored them this time with my new Inktense watercolor pencils. The sentiment is from Hero Arts Luscious Patterned Flowers set; also another lovely font.
Thanks for bearing with me for this long post!
