Happy Saturday!
Welcome my Inspired by Stamping friends. I am excited to be in the Saturday Designer Spotlight today!
I tried something new for today’s card–I water colored on canvas! Let’s take a closer look:
I started by stamping the lighthouse image, from the May Release Seaside stamp set, and sun image, from Tropical Paradise, on canvas using hybrid ink. Using a ‘cheap’ palette set of water colors, I spread water on an-area-at-a-time and applied the colors. As I had never tried this before, I wasn’t certain of the results. I am happy to report the colors spread beautifully! When I was finished with the coloring, I randomly stamped a few sets of sea gulls, also from the Seaside stamp set. Once the canvas dried, I die-cut it and assembled my card.
Here is the inside:
The sentiment is from the May Release Seaside Sentiments.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I am happy to answer any questions.
Thanks for stopping by!

Our Cape Hatteras Lighthouse has the same diagonal black and white stripes, so naturally this card is a winner in my book! Great use of the canvas.
Wonderful card, Lisa, love the soft look of the watercolored canvas.
BOAH! Lisa! Bin ganz begeistert! Das sieht großartig auf dem Stoff aus! Klasse!
wünsche dir eine tolle Woche und liebe Grüße
