After Remembering You - Part Deux

Yesterday I posted the Silly Sealife cards I made using the basic black ink, watercolor wonder crayons and aquapainter from the Remembering You Simply Sent kit. I really liked those cards, but I wondered what else I could come up with using the supplies in the kit, and maybe a little bit more. Here were the parameters I set for myself -- what could I do with the above mentioned items from the kit plus the Remembering You stamp set, some confetti white card stock, a pack of Rich regals card stock and a rose red marker. And here are the results (so far). On the first card I stamped the outline of the flowers in basic black ink. I then used the always artichoke watercolor wonder crayon to stamp the leaves. Next, I inked up the solid flower stamp using the rose red marker. I tapped the stamp with the aquapainter to add a little water and stamped. I then created a little pool of ink with the marker on top of the lid to my stamp set, picked up this ink with the aquapainter and filled in any white spots on the flower petals. Finally, I lightly colored the confetti white card stock between the flowers with the brocade blue watercolor wonder crayon and blended with the aquapainter for a very subtle background color effect.

I matted the confetti white card stock on Always Artichoke, using the square steps corner punch in just one corner for a little bit of interest. I adhered the image to a Rose Red card front and stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the card.

For my second card I inked the outline flower stamp with the rose red marker and stamped it onto the confetti white card stock. I colored the flower center with the brocade blue watercolor wonder crayon and blended the color with the aquapainter. I created another pool of rose red ink with the marker and used the aquapainter to pickup this ink and fill in the flower petals. I then used the always artichoke watercolor wonder crayon to lightly color in the background and blended with the aquapainter. I matted the image with always artichoke and set it aside.

Using the brocade blue watercolor wonder crayon I colored the solid flower stamp. I tapped the stamp with the aquapainter and stamped the flower onto a strip of bordering blue card stock. (I used bordering blue card stock instead of brocade blue on the theory that if my supplies truly had been limited I would have used the brocade blue card stock to re-create more cards from the designs in the kit. I figured that the colors were similar enough for this not to matter and I think I was right.) I repeated this several times.

When I was finished with the solid stamp, I used the rose red marker to ink up the outline stamp and stamped the outlines over all the solid flowers. I then adhered this strip to a regal rose card base, and adhered the always artichoke card stock on top. I used the rose red marker to ink up only the "your special day" portion f the sentiment, and stamped it at the bottom of the card.

I really enjoyed my very own little "limited supplies challenge" and I'm pleased with the cards I created. Hope you like them too!
