Today, I’m sharing a watercolor card featuring the Avery Elle Storybook stamp set with coordinating dies. Have you seen this month’s AEI♥U Challenge? There’s still time to play along!
I stamped the balloons and mouse, colored them with a combination of watercolor pencils and Distress inks, and then used the coordinating dies to cut them. I stamped the balloon strings directly onto a square panel that I washed with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Combining pencils and Distress Inks is one of my favorite watercolor methods.
You’ll find the InLinkz tool to link up YOUR take on the challenge on the AEI♥U Challenge Blog! There are two $25 Avery Elle Gift Certificates up for grabs for the two best entries! You have until 12:01 AM on April 26, 2015 to link up your take on the challenge!

What a sweet card. I just love it.
Love your balloons! I haven’t tried that combination for watercoloring yet. You’ve inspired me!
So very sweet!
Wow Jean. I love that light blue panel in the background and those balloons floating up into sky!
