How y’all doing today? Finally after rain delays we are racing (while I’m typing this that is). I have a watercolor card to share with you today. It’s been awhile since I’ve stamped anything on watercolor paper and figured today was a good as any day to do so.
I used one of my favorite Karen Lockhart stamps (that I picked up at Papertrix last year). The image was stamped in Ranger Archival Jet Black, and water colored with Distress Stains. This was a first for me (the stains), and I will say it went rather quickly. I still think the re-inkers might be more vibrant and float better, but I had to try the stains . . . at least once.
Here’s a close up of the image with all the layers, that are separated by 3D foam squares.
That’s it for now . . . because I don’t know what else to say about anything, except . . . go Mark, go!

I don’t know about you, but every time I type Little Darlings, I think of the song . . . Little Darlin by the Diamonds! Just sayin!
I have one final Graphic 45 CHA project to share with you today. I’ve seen it all over the internet, so I might as well share it myself. There were 2 items requested by Diane that we make . . . a tag and an altered container. For my container, I chose to work with the 5×5 Kraft Board Box.
The front flap open
I didn’t get the inside album finished for CHA, put I do have some ideas (and inspiration) now to finish that up.
Of course, it wouldn’t be one of my projects with out flowers . . . oh how I LOVE flowers!
To add balance, a flower on the upper right corner.
One thing I learned when working on this, don’t cover the entire box in paper . . . the magnets don’t work . . . thus, the reason for the ribbon tied off to the side. I needed something to keep it all closed and the metals tags were used to hold the ends of the ribbon in place.
That’s all for today, except to say . . . thanks for stopping by and remember life is short, enjoy the adventures of your day!
