CT0216-February Fan Club Monthly Theme-The theme this month is Songs From the Heart---My card is inspired by a favorite song of love-Bette Midler, The Rose. I could listen to it forever. As a matter of fact, I have been listening to it this morning.
My card is stamped with a Distress Ink by Tim Holtz/Barn Door. I watercolored with Tim Holtz Distress Stains/Worn Lipstick for the rose and then watercolored the background with Stormy Sky (using a brush).
Tim Holtz Distress Markers were used to mark over some areas on the rose that got too much water and faded the lines. I used them to stamp the leaves, also, just direct to stamp.
Stamps: Inspired by Stamping/Elegant Flowers set (rose), Stampendous/Encouraging Words (leaves), Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps/Love Remains (sentiment)
Paper: PTI white cardstock, Watercolor paper 140#
Paper Size: A2
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Tim Holtz Distress Ink/Barn Door
Accessories: Tim Holtz Distress stain/Worn Lipstick and Stormy Sky, Tim Holtz Distress Markers/Worn Lipstick and Peeled Paint, MISTI
