Nantucket Oceanside Inn Perch - Try Stampin' on Tuesday #105

The sketch challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday here enticed me and I just had to make a card.

 

The background for the Perch is a watercolor wash - using watercolor crayons on watercolor paper- blending the colors with an Aqua Painter.  I couldn't think of a sentiment, but the card could be used for any masculine occasion.

Stamp  By the Tide

Inks: Watercolor crayons, Not Quite Navy ink

Papers: Island Indigo, River Rock, Baja Breeze, Watercolor paper, Patterned Paper Pack DSP

Accessories: Chevron folder, Square Lattice folder, 2 1/2" circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, 1" circle punch, dimensionals, Aquapainter

Peony and Butterfly - Try Stampin on Tuesday #98

I don't know about you, but I feel drained by all the holiday activities - and all the activities leading up to the holidays.  It seems almost surreal that Christmas is over and that New Year's Day is just around the corner.
The card I made for the challenge with Try Stampin on Tuesday here does not even have a sentiment because I couldn't think of one.  My brain is fried I think.  Anyway, a lot of my clients look specificially for blank cards, and that means no sentiment on the front.  How's that for rationalization?

Here's the 5 by 5" card:

Papers: Rich Razzelberry, Old Olive, Whisper White, Sycamore Street DSC (SAB)

Accessories: Large Delicate Doilies die, paper crimper, 5/8" vanilla flower trim, rhinestones, white Baker's twine, dimensionals, glue dots, tombo glue
