Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card created with Penny Black supplies featuring a water-colored image from the Dance in the Rain stamp set. This set was introduced in June 2021. It has been a while (several years!) since I have colored with watercolors.
- Stamp Dance in the Rain image with VersaFine ink on Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor Pad.
- Color image with Gansai Tambi paints. I used 44 brown, 63 blue, 32 red, 43 yellow, 54 green, 35 pink, 20 black.
- Stamp image on to masking paper and fussy cut. Once image is dry, add mask to image and apply Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink for sky and Mowed Lawn for the ground. Cut with circle in the Hero Arts set.
- Create card background from patterned paper and attach to A2-size card base.
- Cut Dream Big sentiment twice (for extra depth). I like this sentiment a lot and think it pairs nicely with the dogs sharing an umbrella.
- Add sentiment and image circle to background; embellish with enamel dots (Taylored Expressions brand shown).

Love this…I’m not one for the big showy things…but the every day little things, that speak to caring for another person.
Fabulous watercoloring, Jean! Love that image atop the woodgrain background and what a wonderful sentiment too!!
Very fun stamp. Great composition with the sentiment and the background paper. Love it!
