Hiya !! I'm back again with this supercute Prima Doll Card !

Used a Watercolored panel that I made using my Distress Inks.

here..

I used my Water Color Pencils by Faber Castell to color the Doll (Prima Marketing Mixed Media Doll Stamp with a Bolero ) on a textured Cardstock !

Layered the colored piece on multiple layers of Pattern Paper (From Ki Memories - Princess Collection). The Polaroid & Instagram Die cuts are from 'Mama Elephant - Instalove" Set.

The Film Strip is a Tim Holtz Die !

The doll was colored & fussy cut. The rRed heart was colored using my Distress Marker & the Pink heart was distressed using the Tsukineko Radiant Neon Ink - Radiant Coral.

The head band & skirt folds were accented using Pink Stickles. I added some Clear Wink of Stella for some more sheen. The sentiment was stamped with 'Technique Tuesday - Favourite Mmeories' Stamp Set, using Versafine Onyx Black. Worn Lipstick was use to distress the 'Insta' Cam. Washi Tape was used to stick the polaroid onto the base.

I also added Glossy Accents to the red heart, for some dimension !!

I Loved the way she looks....

Watercolor with Color Burst by Ken Oliver

Hello Crafty People,

Here's what I did.. I tapped some color burst on a piece of cardstock & sprayed some water using my Ranger Mini Mister and I loved the results !!

The Vibrant look of color splashes all over was so amazing. After it was completely dry, I stamped some of these pretty Flowers from the ALTENEW stamp set - Wild Hibiscus using my Archival - Jet Black Ink and then fussy cut it  !!

Later I used these pretty flowers & a pair of birds on this card below! I just love how this turned out !
