Cassie<\/a> used Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencils<\/a> to paint the flowers and leaves on her card.  She used Dina Wakley: Just What to Say, Scribbly Flowers<\/a> and Textures<\/a> Stamp Sets<\/a>. There\u2019s some Dina Wakley Washi Tape<\/a> peeking out from behind the flowers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara<\/a> used Distress Ink Pads <\/a>as if they were watercolors to make a trio of very vibrant tags and cards, playing with colors and contrasting them with black and white. Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous’ Floral Trims stamp<\/a> is the main focus of her project! To complete he added various phrases from the Tiny Text<\/a>, Perspective<\/a> stamps sets and Idea-ology Theories Quote Chips<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> used Distress Watercolor Pencils<\/a> along with the Tim Holtz Floral Trims<\/a> stamps. She added shading using her Detailer Waterbrush<\/a> to blend the color. She used some of her pencil shavings that she keeps in her Mini Archival Ink storage tin <\/a>to add a creamy color wash to the background and then stamped her sentiment using the Note Quotes<\/a> stamps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Emma<\/a> used Distress Watercolour Pencils<\/a> to watercolour the Stampers Anonymous\/Tim Holtz Floral Trim stamp set<\/a> that was used to create backgrounds for a set of Mini Motivational Pocket Cards, die cut using Sizzix Collector Thinlits Die Set Tim Holtz<\/a>. She completed each set by adding a positive message using the Note Quotes stamp set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> made a card inspired by the profusion of poppies in her garden using Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Floral Trims<\/a>, water colored with Distress Ink Re-inkers<\/a>, Note Quotes<\/a> for the sentiment and decorated with Tim Holtz\/Idea-ology Long Fasteners<\/a> and Transparent Wings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maura <\/a> had fun creating an undersea watercolor scene using Daniel Smith Watercolors like Quinacridone Pink<\/a> and Phthalo Turquoise<\/a>. The Simon Says Stamp Fine Detail Scissors <\/a>worked great to cut out her sea creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a watercolored tag using Simon Says Clear Stamps Howdy<\/a> on the background, colored it with Zig Clean Color 30 COLOR SET A Real Brush<\/a> and added sentiments using Tim Holtz Idea-ology CLIPPINGS Sticker Book<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoey<\/a> used a combination of Tim Holtz Stams for her background Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps The Inspector<\/a> and Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Dearly Departed<\/a>. Then she used Gina K Designs Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder<\/a> with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Floral Trims<\/a>.
