CAS(E) This Sketch #269

Today, I have a card to share that I made for
 CAS(E) This Sketch #269 designed by N@ Ali:


Here's my card:


I started by stamping my images from PTI's Tropics in versamark and heat embossing
them in white.
Then, I used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolours to smoosh and
spritz different shades of green onto my card.
I also flicked some water on and heat embossed those droplets with white embossing powder.


I stamped my The Stamp Market sentiment onto a strip of dark grey cardstock 
in versamark and heat embossed it in white.

Ruby Red, Mango Smoothie and Forest Glades, as well as Wplus9's Hayride onto
their coordinating diecuts.

brushing to my aqua mist panel.

Inspired By All the Little Things #81

Today, I have a card to share for 
Inspired By All the Little Things #81:

I was inspired by the white flowers with green stems in glass bottles,
as well as the old script lettering on the bottles.
I decided to use my Essentials by Ellen Mondo Hydrangea stamp set to make my card:


I stamped my flowers and leaf onto their coordinating diecuts in Altenew
Evergreen and Moon Rock inks and stamped them a second time in versamark, so I could
heat emboss them in clear.
I repeated this process with the glass jar from Lawn Fawn's Summertime Charm.
I coloured them in using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolours.



 I stamped my sentiment (from Simon Says Stamp's Big Scripty Sentiments) in Altenew Evergreen ink and added a strip of patterned paper, onto which I blended some lime green ink.
