Wow...I can't believe that I actually completed a SCS sketch and got it posted on the day it came out! This is a first for me. George is traveling so I stayed up a bit later and stamped my Watercolor Plants by coloring them with tombow markers and just a spritz of water. I also happened to get some new Label Nestabilities in so I was happy that the two paired well. No sketch when I checked so I went to bed. In the morning, the perfect sketch awaited me and I got to work!
Just for some extra pizzazz...I hand cut the brown border out around the main image and I stamped Swirlies with Tombow green markers, again lightly spritzed with water.
Card Materials: Stamps and papers from The Angel Company

Now if my work with Watercolor Plants hasn't convinced you yet to buy this set from The Angel Company, I hope you'll take a peek at what Silke has been doing with them over in Germany. She's used different techniques and some great, non traditional colors with this set for some WOW cards!

I keep seeing that printed background technique...do ya'll just rip a page out of a book? Very nice card. Love the layout and spritzing, makes it softer looking. Sharon NJ
Sharon, I do just rip out a page! I have an old book that was headed to Goodwill and that's my book for stamping. :) I do know though that you could probably get free "text" online that you then just print off on your computer...but I love the aged look of this paper.
Very pretty - I like the interest the label shape generates.
What a wonderful card!!
