Sidewalk Cafe

This little colorful sidewalk cafe scene was fun to make!



I laid 8" x 6" Decorative Stencils by Sheena - Perspectives over a card from Scored Cards Pack of 10 (6" x 6") - Bright White, secured it in place with a low tack tape and spritzed with Fireworks Sprays cottage ivy, pear tart, dandelion, summer sky, danube blue, grape jelly.  I laid another card over the stencil to pick up the extra ink creating the inverse - two for one!


I turned the stencil over onto one of the scenes and spritzed Fireworks Sprays summer sky filling in the white spaces. 


Next, I added a tree with 8" x 6" Decorative Stencils by Sheena - Summer Meadow and Fireworks Sprays cottage ivy. TIP: After spraying, dab with a paper towel to create variation in color. 


I used a Sponge Dauber and Distress Ink Pad chipped sapphire to fill in color on the birds from the 8" x 6" Decorative Stencils by Sheena - Summer Meadow.





After I adhered the cafe set to the front of the card, I made it pop by tracing it with a Spectrum Aqua Marker navy.

Watercolor Birthday

More from the Bebunni Floral release! 


 I scribbled Spectrum Aqua Markers Bud Green, Evergreen, Aquamarine, Teal, Marine onto an acrylic block, spritzed with water and "stamped" color onto a watercolor paper card.  I moved the block across the card for full coverage. 





I used a waterbrush to pick up color off the block and fill in color completely on the front of the card.


The present is cut out using Bebunni Floral Metal Dies - Birthday Present and Shimmering Cardstock white pearl.  I used Spectrum Aqua Markers direct and also with a waterbrush to color it.


The sentiment is from Bebunni Floral EZMount Stamp Set - Flower Garden. I stamped it onto Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock. I dipped it into the remaining color on the block and cut it out using the Die'sire Decorative Dies - Nouveau Stamping Frame.



I popped up the present with Double Sided Adhesive Foam Circles.
