CASology #213 Stitch

 

A wedding card for one of my best friends daughter, Andrea.  Karen and I have been friends since Jr. High School.  She is getting married in Hawaii in September with close friends and family and then having a Reception in October.  Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend so Karen, Andrea and I are having lunch next week.  

I started by making a card for CASology 

and remembered that I needed a wedding card.

Using the colors for inspiration, I smooshed the background and die cut the vase and flowers in the same colors.  The stripe is direct to paper with the ink.  I think I finally got the hang of smooshing. YEAH!!!!

My card for Papertrey Ink.  Click to play along

PTI's Happy Hydrangea and Mega Vases in Simply Chartreuse and Royal Velvet spritzed with water for the watercolor effect on watercolor paper.

I tried using watercolor crayons and the first one I tried turned out good, but then I ruined it by putting another color on it that I didn't care for.  I must have tried about 5 or 6 times to duplicate but could not get it right.  I was using Life.  I tried a couple of other techniques, but was not getting what I wanted.  So decided to do this technique of inking my stamp and spritzing.  I like how it turned out, but it doesn't have the true watercolor look.

Lil Inker's Stitched Rectangle 

I really love Brenda's card.  It is so serene and beautiful.  I cased it somewhat but tried to put my own spin on it.  It took me three times with the white portion behind the rectangles.  I kept trying to put too much on the white but ended up only adding the bling.  I think it turned out OK but it didn't come close to the image in my head and Brenda's card.
