My first card is part of my continuing journey to learn to watercolor. I've decided that I should do at least one card a week using watercoloring, which has not to this point been my color medium of choice.
The rose is watercolored using markers and an aquapen. The background is a wash using Yasutoma pearlescent watercolors. The corners are punched using two different corner punches. The top layer is a Fiskars three-in-one Leaves punch, and the green layer is a Marvy scallop corner punch.

The second card was my SCS Inspiration Challenge entry. I saw these tea cups and liked the red check pattern. I bought the Great Impressions tea pot/cups stamp at a LSS that I frequent about twice a year. It's an hour's drive away, so I can't get there much more often than that. The rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory. I brought the red check pattern in with the gingham ribbon.

Lois - thanks for playing (supporting) Speedy's Friends. I love your corner punches in the first card, but I love both cards!
Wow, love both of them. You're watercolouring is going great too Lois.
Love your beautiful rose and am so glad you played along with us. Always look forward to your MFP creations.
Very pretty cards. Good job on the watercoloring. Thanks for joining us at Speedy's Friends.
