Well, you know how much I love watercoloring and DRS stamps so I decided to give it a go! I actually made 2 cards - I couldn't decide which I liked better. Which do you prefer?




This image was stamped with Memento Dye Ink then watercolored with InkTense watercolor pencils.




This card was also stamped using Memento Dye Ink but I colored it with my Staedtler watercolor pencils. It doesn't really show in the photo but the wishing well is actually pop-dotted off the background away from the frame.

So, which do you like better?


Be sure to vote because I have 4 fun brand new Deep Red Stamps for one lucky Ink Stained Friend that casts a vote for their favorite design!

You have until March 19th to vote for your fav.!

Remember - Be sure to enter the DRS Spring/Watercolor Challenge TOO!!





Good Luck Everyone

and

Have an Ink Stained weekend!

  7. Well, both images are equally beautiful, but I think the patterned paper base on the Garden Doorway card makes it more Springlike and it's my choice out of the two cards. I think it would make a great St. Patrick's Day card. TFS Elizabeth

  10. I'm going to join the majority...the garden doorway. It shows off more of your coloring skills! Like the other one too, but since you said we had to choose.........

  11. If I just look at the "painting," I honestly can't choose - they are equally beautiful. But the background paper on the Garden Door card really sets that one off, so that's my vote!

  12. I like both cards really well. My fave is the wishing well. It reminds me of the old days on my aunt's farm. The water was always cool and refreshing!
