Hello, all! Kristina here with some card inspiration featuring the March 2021 Card Kit!

For my card, I decided to watercolor one of the windows in the Spring Windows stamp set. I stamped the window in Versafine Clair Acorn ink, and then painted it with various Karin Brushmarker Pro markers. Be sure to watch the video below for tips on watercoloring with these markers!

For the background of the card, I used a sheet of patterned paper from Carta Bella’s Flower Garden 6×6 paper pad, which is included in the kit. I cut off the left edge of my colored window to accommodate a greeting to the right.

The greeting strip was created by scribbling on watercolor paper with the orange-red shade of Karin marker that I used on the flowers in the window box. Then I stamped a greeting from the stamp set and white heat embossed it.

Thanks for stopping by! You can pick up the March 2021 Card Kit HERE, or subscribe to receive this kit and future kits HERE.

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Caly Person in her bi-monthly Crafty with Caly blog series! Be sure to watch the video for more info and enjoy!

My card today is totally inspired by the fabulous Shari Carroll!  She made a beautiful mini slimline card using the Magnolia Cottage set and I felt inspired to create one too with my spin on things.

To start, I stamped and colored my images with Copic markers.

         Pinks:  R00, R81, R83, R85

         Greens:  G00, G03, G05, G09

         Yellows: Y00, YR23

         Grays:  C0, C1, C2, C3, C5

If you like seeing the process, be sure to check out the video!

WATCH THE VIDEO:

By background is simply grounded with some gray Copic markers and ink-blended with some Bundled Sage Distress Oxide ink for a subtle glow.

I rarely ever stamp the inside of a card but this one felt appropriate because of the sentiments on this set. I hope you enjoyed this card!  Thanks so much for visiting today!~Caly
