After stamping this Raisin Boat "Joyous Garden" image onto my paper it was heat set, then I use a small detail brush to apply water over the image. The cute mailbox was colored using Distress and Vivid ink pads. Just press the ink pad into an old CD then pick up the desired color using a wet brush.

The background was flooded with water before I added the blue for the sky.
I rotated the "Freshly Made Sketch" to a portrait view to create this card.
I find it very difficult to do CAS...I simply love it and admire those who can do this genre. This is about as CAS as I get.
Back to creating cards in my Butterfly Garden.

This is just gorgeous! Love the grounding and how you did the sky. What a fabulous post box. Simply beautiful!!
Gorgeous card and a beautifully coloured image, Marie. Because we don't have mail boxes here in the UK I'm always fascinated by them. Love this one, surrounded by pretty flowers x
This is just beautiful! I love your mailbox and your flourish of lovely flowers!
I want a mailbox like that Marie, it would make the junk mail and bills a bit more tolerable!! Very pretty card, great job on all of the challenges ;)
WOW Marie! What a beautiful card! Great job coloring that pretty image!
What stunning coloring this is! All the details are so lovely...the perfect accents to this beautiful image. So glad you joined us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
The cluster of roses is wonderful and the way you interpreted the sketch works well with your beautifully, watercoloured image. Thanks for joining us at the Paper Players and Freshly Made Sketches.
This is beautiful!! The flowers and flourish complement that mailbox perfectly!!
What gorgeous watercoloring! And, another great Raisin Boat set, too! Those flowers look fab on the card--they tie in perfectly with the flowers on the mailbox.
Oh, the CD idea is brilliant! I've always used the lids, and that leaves something to be desired. Genius :)
Love the sentiment tab, and your watercolouring is fabulous - must try that technique for the sky!

Wow, wow, wow, Marie! This card is stunning! What a beautiful job with your watercoloring (even the ground and sky...I'm super impressed!) and I am loving the flower accents on the bottom left of the card. Just an all around gorgeous card. So glad you joined in the fun at The Paper Players!
