Elizabeth, I love a challenge - one-layered card is a tough one but I had just the guy who was screaming 'pick me, pick me!'
Funny thing... ALL the ice cream flavors at Norms' say the same thing to me!
After creating a card base from TH watercolor card, and stamping this darling dude with VersaFine waterproof ink, I found a new use for the cover of my Altenew Stampwheel - keeping the warping down to a minimum until the paint dries is very important when one is painting on the card base!
This is adorable, Michele. Thanks for the tip on how to keep warping down. Your watercolor skills are stellar!
ReplyDeleteWords to live by indeed Michele - I love the soft watercolouring, just lovely! Thanks for tackling our one layer challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteAdorable image and lovely watercoloring. I have a hard time with one layer cards but yours is perfect.
ReplyDeleteAnother sweet card, perfectly colored and ready to surprise the socks off someone! Glad you were able to keep your card flat -- we all know how hard that can be sometimes...
ReplyDeleteThis little dude is oodles of fun! Perfectly watercolored, perfectly flat and perfectly CUTE!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely and your watercolouring is perfect. Great idea to use that textured watercolour card. I thought you must have embossed it at first xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely a darling image, beautifully watercolored, and the truest sentiment! Plus, your card looks just as flat as can be!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfectly sweet, summery card! I agree 100%! When I get to heaven, I am going to eat ice cream for every meal! Thanks for playing with us this week!
ReplyDeleteI recognize that cute Cat's Pajamas bunny and he recognizes a wonderful treat when he sees one. This is such a cute card, Michele.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, and so beautifully watercolored!
ReplyDeleteMichele, you have made this lil guy come to life. Your coloring gives it depth. Super card.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this long-eared guy in quite some time, but he's still just as adorable as he's always been! And even cuter with the colorful and yummy looking ice cream! A perfect card for the type of weather we've been having here in Michigan!! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteAdorable, Michele! Your water coloring skills are amazing. A perfect image for a one-layer card. Thank you for playing with The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteA one layer wonder! Your soft watercoloring brings out the yumminess of the image--perfection in my book!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous one layer card. Love the way you framed it and your watercoloring is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThe CJ bunny came out at just the perfect time, Michele! Couldn't be better weather for ice cream, that's for sure. Your one-layer card is lovely with the soft, colorful ice cream. Beautifully done! Thanks for diving in and joining our one-layer card challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteThis ice cream looks so refreshing and I love this sweet guy ready to dig in! Great job of watercoloring, Michele! It makes an awesome one layer card and a brilliant way to keep it from warping!
ReplyDeleteMichele... adorable image! I didn't realize that you are a wonderful watercolorist! I only wish I could. As always, thanks so much for sharing your creativity with The Paper Players.

That might be the sweetest image I've seen! And you've used it perfectly! I love it on the fresh white with a loose watercolor look.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue who Norm is but if he sells ice cream I like him! This card is total sweetness! Kudos to you and that soft watercoloring - my watercoloring would look like mushy melted ice cream!
ReplyDeleteIt's been so nice doing a little catch up... I must check into why your emails aren't opening up for me! I'm finally on days off from work and we have visitors that arrived yesterday and they have the flu so fingers crossed....
