Preview Week from EBE


As is usual with me, I'm about to tease the heck out of you with 'things to come' from the March Essentials by Ellen release … this Mondo Succulent Pot, and the fun Succulent Sentiments will be available MARCH 8, 2020!!

ready … SET... see!

 
LOve that sentiment!  I 'wet my plants' with water-colors starting out by stamping with Gina K Skeleton Leaves Amalgam ink, on my favorite Ranger Water color paper...
 

and painted with Distress Inks: 





You may have guessed this isn't the only way I've colored it … can I hope you'll be back to see them all in March?  sure hope so!

I'm not much of a succulent person, but I absolutely LOVE your card Michele!! Your water coloring is just FABULOUS and that sentiment sounds just like you! Haha!! :0)

If I didn't have a migraine hangover this morning, I could get my brain to work and see what other coloring techniques you've used. Maybe later. But anyway you've colored this, it has turned out beautifully. Color perfection, and what a stamp!! Btw...I live 1/2 hour from Gina K.'s store.... Wanna come over and go shopping?! Oh let's do! Beautiful card. xo Bev

"I'll be back"...I need to see all the other things you've done with this succulent. If this one is any indication, the rest should be fabulous.

When did you get Gina K ink? It works beautifully with all the succulent greens.

This is such a gorgeous stamp, and I love how all the team colored them - each so different but so beautiful.
Regarding my oopsie on my blog post about digi stamps - I have an ink jet printer. The "ink" remains wet for a little bit when printed on vellum. Even longer when printed on cellophane tape, which was how I realized the potential.
Thanks for the heads up!

Since I have a "black" thumb when it comes to gardening, I love cactus and succulents. ;-D This is so beautifully watercolored, Michele! Thanks for sharing the photos of inks too. Looking forward to seeing more in March!
