Last fall, I created a Thanksgiving card using a watercolor technique that Julie Ann Davidse shared on the My Digital Studio (MDS) site. She credited the technique to Patty Bennett’s watercolor card, also on the MDS site, and I ultimately found the instructions on Cindy Schuster’s Watercoloring Technique video and her MDS Watercolor Technique Tutorial blog post.
Tonight, I finally got around to creating a spring version of the card, using the same technique with different colors:
Here are the details on the card:
- Background: Baja Breeze Grid Designer Series Paper, at 38% Opacity
- Tree:
- Lower Band:
- Square Punch in Certainly Celery, with default drop shadow
- Flowers are Flowers from A Good Egg Stamp Brush Set, in Pink Pirouette, at 39% Opacity
- Sentiment: Sending Springtime from Easter Blossoms Stamp Brush Set, in Early Espresso
- Embellishment: Grosgrain Ribbon and Bow, in Always Artichoke, with default drop shadow

After playing around with several options, I ultimately rotated this week’s Stampin’ Queens Sketch Challenge (SQSC38) and then modified the design elements slightly. Here’s this week’s original sketch:
And here’s my version of the card:
I substituted the tree branch for the vertical, rectangle punch in the original, and I’ve substituted the owl for the focal circle punch element. It’s not quite the same as the original, but I think it’s close enough. Here are the details on how I made it:
- Background Layer: On the Go—Pattern 11
- Middle Layer: Soft Suede
- Top Layer:On the Go—Pattern 12
- Owl: Two Step Owl in More Mustard, Tangerine Tango, and Whisper White
- Stamps:
- Punch Bunch—Owl (on top of punch pieces, from the 2011 SAB)
- Cheep Talk—Branch (part of the original install)
- Sentiment: So Typefelt—Wisdom Is Better Than Knowledge, on an Pool Party Rectangle Punch
