So this month we get to do some watercoloring. I love to watercolor! Do you?? It's probably one of my fav things to do. I might not be the best at it but still love it.
I used the Garden in Bloom Stamp Set as I searched the catalog for images that could be watercolored. There were several or a lot really but I wanted to give this a shot. Garden in Bloom is a Two-Step Stamp but I decided to color it in rather than do the 2nd step.
As you can see I used the same flower for the whole thing just used a lot of different colors for this beautiful bouquet!
So I bet you are thinking that I cut the flowers out, right? Nope!
I did masking on this one. So I stamped the first flower the yellowish one in front. Put a stamped image over it that had been cut out on a post it note and stamped the one to the left and so forth. I ended up with three masks to get the effect I wanted. Colored them in one at a time and then thought....now what?
Of course I got a smudge of ink under the flowers and thought....hmmmm I need a vase.
So out came my Circles Die and I cut a circle but no way was it going to line up with my flowers.
So I cut the top part off and then used my Exacto Knife and cut around the base of the flowers and leaves and slipped that vase right under it. It worked perfectly.
btw.....I embossed the vase and taped it down before sliding it under the flowers. Then I trimmed the rest of the circle off the bottom and matted it onto black.
Yay!! I covered up my mistake!
...but wait....I got ink at the top too....someone needs to wash her hands I think! What to do? Well I stamped the bee and popped that little thing right over that spot. Don't tell anyone, okay?
Phew! Glad that's done! lol

Beautiful card Lee! Your flowers are so pretty and I love your little bee...and I promise that I won't tell that he's covering up a smudge. ;)
turned out beautiful Lee - a whole vase of SPRING.....
Such a cute idea Lee! And I adore the bright colours. Your water colouring is so bold and beautiful too.
Bright and bold! Can't wait to try when I get home.
What a beautiful vase. Love the coloring on the flowers. Spring really is in the page.
Lee this is absolutely over the top brilliant! You cut around those flowers?! WOWZA - love the colours so much. This card makes me smile!
Beautiful card. I love the colors, the vase and bee. Thanks for your tips on how you made it.
Soooo sweet! Such a uplifting, beautiful Easter card too :D
your card is very pretty, the flowers are popping out really well! xx
How clever are you creating a vase for your gorgeous flowers. I must admit I did look twice to see if you had cut the flowers out or masked them lol.
Beautiful card and the little bee is the cherry on top!
Putting Jordan in the middle of the floor as point guard instead of to the side as a shooting guard made it more difficult to double-team him effectively. But Jordan was assured by Collins the move was only temporary, and after the season he told the team he preferred to return to his shooting guard role. Why? The official reasons were that he would get too tired playing point guard and that he’d have trouble defending against the smaller, quicker point guards and that, too, would wear him out. Cheap Jordan Shoes, But the fact was that Jordan continued to have grave doubts about his teammates’ ability to score, saying, “How am I supposed to be the principal ball deliverer and the main scorer?” Phil Jackson would later reject his assistants’ suggestion to move Jordan to point guard, arguing that Jordan’s passing was not consistently good enough and that giving Jordan the ball even more would reduce the chances of dividing up the scoring load, one of Jackson’s main goals.
Hodges, meanwhile, suffered an ankle injury in that game against Golden State in March 1988 after averaging 18 points, almost double his career average, and shooting 22 for 31 from three-point range in his previous six games. He would miss the rest of the regular season, be hampered in the playoffs, and never truly regain his health the next season. With Hodges still hobbling at the start of training camp in 1989, John Paxson moved in as starting point guard, and Hodges went on to have the poorest season of his career.
The team never truly believed there was anything wrong with Hodges. Their reports merely noted some soft-tissue buildup and said that Hodges would be able to play through it The Bulls were also angry because Hodges had been a free agent after the 1988-89 season and, fearing they might lose him to Portland (which was prepared to make an offer), they gave him a four-year, $2.6 million contract,Air Jordan Shoes, and now he couldn’t play effectively. Hodges kept saying something was wrong, but he wasn’t getting much response from the team.
I would love such a beautiful vase for real in my home ! Congrats Lee !
