March SOTM (Sunshine Birdies) Blog Hop!

THANK YOU for stopping by to enjoy our
March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop
featuring this month's SOTM: 
Sunshine Birdies S1603

If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on (as this is a circular hop)
or you can start at the beginning with Melinda's Blog if you get lost at any point along the way. 
If you've just arrived here from JEANIE's BLOG then you are on the correct path.

 Today I'm sharing two standard-size cards featuring 
some of my favorite bright colors of Spring (above).

 This card features the La Vie En Rose paper packet (X7201B) stamped with a Black Memento ink pad (Z889) and watercolor paints on a 1x1 block (keep reading below to see how I did this)! The sentiment was stamped in Black and then traced with a ShinHan Touch Twin Marker (Marigold). After stamping the sun, I then traced/doodled around and alongside it with my black journaling pen (adding additional curved/scribbled lines).

 This card features the Kaleidoscope paper packet (X7202B) and Black Memento ink pad (Z889), colored with our ShinHan Touch Twin Markers (Clay, Golden Yellow, Lavender, and Leaf Green). The hearts that are stamped with Honey ink (and traced/doodled with my black journaling pen) is an image from the Stuck on You stamp set (C1643). Who can resist those fun googley eyes?! 
(adhered with mini glue dots).

Here is my inspiration for the 
watercoloring technique I used on my first card (above).
THANK YOU to my fellow consultant friend
