Mustang Creations

  Happy Thursday! It is nearly the weekend and some gorgeous Colorado weather. I think I will head to the nursery and get some flowers to plant. It is my turn to post for APC and our theme this month is masculine and/or nautical. I chose this beauty of a set called Nautical 1 . I decided to watercolor and chose a technique called misted watercolor. The tutorial for it can be found on splitcoaststampers.com here . I stamped the images with Versafine onyx ink onto watercolor paper. Next, I spritzed the back of my paper with water so that it will lay flat and not bow. I then spritzed the front and using a large round brush, I laid down my colors and let dry organically. I then when back in and put some more detailed color on. "on Father's Day" was computer generated and die cut with a fun die and then the "set sail" was stamped on watercolor paper...both placed on dimensionals. I just noticed that the definition of water and sky isn't evident in this photo but ...

  Happy Saturday to everyone in blogland! I think the nice weather “might”be here to stay. This makes me very happy. Our group post for this month is Father’s Day creations. The set I had wanted to use from APC is not here with me in the mountains, but I was pretty tickled when I came across this Owl 1 set. The sentiment was even perfect! I added the “Dad” and printed on copy paper and adhered to cardstock. The image was stamped on watercolor paper and watercolored. I used Bisque liquid pearls to add some interest to the owls’ chests. The only dimension was to the word dad and a bit of twine added. I am trying to be a bit more conscientious about keeping the cards flatter for mailing purposes...but it is hard. The struggle is real. Head on over to Anthony’s Paper Craft for some awesome stamps and supplies!
