Little Moments Matter- Watercolor Wings

Little Moments Matter- Watercolor Wings

It’s always the little moments that matter to me.  Sure, I love big moments too.

It seems like the little moments make me stop, reflect and typically bring me more joy.

Can you relate?

Yesterday was a case in point.

 

We have a friend that helps us now and then with our big 200 gallon saltwater fish tank.  This tank is truly a piece of happy to me.  It’s also a big job to take care of.  Our water filter system needed new filters and to make a long story short…. this guy came to our rescue. He took the time yesterday to help me with something outside of what I was paying him to do and ultimately that little thing brought me extreme joy.

 

It didn’t take him long however it was something he had not planned.  He made a difference doing something so little.

Yes, little moments matter.

Watercolor Wings

 

 

Watercolor Wings is a beautiful stamp set and I love the greetings that go along with it.  This is one of those sets that makes me smile because it has beautiful greetings and beautiful butterfly images.  SCORE!

I have a new favorite paper I’m playing with right now- Shimmery White Cardstock.  OH so fun and beautiful.

This paper is great for watercolor.

Tips & Tricks

Little Moments, Watercolor Wings, Stampin' Up!

 

Here are a few tips when creating this card.

  • I did a simple watercolor wash using my Aqua Painter.  To do this simply load your brush with the color of choice and gently go back and forth moving the brush in a downward stroke.  By moving the brush down while moving you will notice a brighter color when you begin and lighter as your brush continues downward.  The shimmery paper gives it a shimmer look when it’s dry.
  • I used Calypso Coral, So Saffron and Pink Pirouette inks
  • The White thread you see coiled behind the greeting is a single strand pulled from the White Jute ribbon.  I love this stuff.  I never seem to use the entire ribbon alone as it tends to be too wide for me to use.  Instead I pull the threads and use them in other ways.

I love the spring colors for this card.  I typically do not use So Saffron for anything so it was nice to pull that color into this card and the best is I really liked it.

 

 

 

These colors just scream soft, delicate and spring.
