By the Bay Watercolor

Here is one more By the Bay card to finish out the

SAB season.  I couldn't help it, this is just such a great set.  

For this sample, I used a technique 

demonstrated by Buffy Cooper, here.  It involves inking your

stamp, and then spritzing it with water to give it a

watercolor look, without all the effort.  In this example,

I used markers to color individual areas of the stamp,

so that each would bleed and blend just a bit.

Thanks for popping by and please click on over to 

Buffy's to view her card.  I like Buffy's sample because

she really worked the watercolor so that things 

blended nicely.

Tea Together with Doily Builder

This is a combination of some of my favorite Occasions

and SAB products.   The sentiment comes from Dear Doily

with coordinating Doily Builder Thinlits Dies (Occasions p 47).

The Tea Together (p 49) with SAB Tea Time Framelits

Dies (SAB page 17) were watercolors to create the

focal image.  I attached Brights DSP paper and ran the

card base through the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions

Embossing Folder (Occasions p 11).

I attempted to make this look like the tea pot is

sitting on a doily!

By The Bay

By the Bay is one of my favorite SAB sets because it

enables you to use so many different techniques.

In these two samples, I used watercoloring, on

watercolor paper.  The word "ENJOY" comes from Thoughtful 

Banners on page 57.  I cut out this word with

a Framelit from Bouquet Bunch on page 216.

I created layered frames with the Rectangle

Stitched Framelits Dies (Occasions page 28).

I had to post another By the Bay (SAB page 10) sample.   
In this example,

I stamped Stazon ink on watercolor paper, adding colors

with an Aqua Painter.  With the coloring, anything goes

so you can just relax and enjoy the process.
