ATCAS Challenge #22 Get Well



 
 
This card for ATCAS challenge #22 has the theme of Get Well.  I chose to use this older SU! stamp Upsy Daisy.  Using Distressed Markers I colored onto the stamp and spritzed it with water onto watercolor paper.  I trimmed the paper allowing enough room at the bottom that I could add verbiage and a touch of jute.  The verbiage was cut using two SU! punches.  Next using mounting tape I attached the piece onto a large piece of SU! Naturals White cardstock.
 
I really like trying different methods of watercolor and this particular image and layout I will use for a very non-traditional holiday card.  Instead of going out and buying new Christmas paper and stamps I decided to use what I have.  Despite this being an old stamp it is NBUS (Darnell lingo).  My Christmas card will be using old Bravo Burgundy paper and BB, Real Red and Old Olive ink.
 
Stamps - SU! "Upsy Daisy," MFT "All Occasion Sentiments"
Paper - SU! Naturals White, Daffodil Delight, watercolor paper
Markers - Ranger Distress Markers: Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Barn Door, Shabby Shutters
Other - Memento Ink, burlap twine
