Father's Day was a great day and many of my customers gave cards of love to their Dad's or made them for their children to give to their Dad's. Today is another example of a nice simple Men's card using Stampin' Up!
Lovely as a Tree (also available in
WM)and water colouring the trees simply with an
aqua painter.

Once the water colour paper is stamped with the "Lovely as a Tree" image, inked in Old Olive, I ran over the image with an aqua pen and carried the ink to colour the grass. I used a little ink from the ink left on the stamp too. I then stamped over the image again in Early Expresso to give the appearance/definition to the tree trunk and branches.

The water paper was then mounted on a mat of Early Expresso...

Lots of similar cards, using the same wonderfully versatile "Lovely as a Tree" on Water colour paper...
