Water Colored Mondo Sakura

Water Colored Mondo Sakura

Hello, and welcome to Guneaux Designs.  Thank you for stopping by.  Today’s card share features the Essentials by Ellen Mondo Sakura stamp set.  The card contains a water colored Mondo Sakura image.  I do not know the name for the technique I used on the card; however, I’ll explain how I created it.  If you know the name of the technique, please share it with me in the comments section.  Thanks!


John 17:1-5 (Jesus Prays for Himself)

“After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the time has come.  Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.  For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.  Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.  I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.  And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.”

Art Impressions Dogs, Flowers, and Rustic Container

Art Impressions Dogs, Flowers, and Rustic Container

Hello, and welcome!  So happy that you stopped by.  Today I am sharing a card made with Art Impressions Dogs, Flowers, and Rustic Container stamps.  I love this time of the year when I can fill rustic or wooden containers with soil and flowers.  I actually have two 5′ long palm tree log containers that I cut out the centers so I could plant flowers in them during springtime.  Thinking that I need to fulfill that task brought to mind the subjects for my card –  flowers and a puppy in a rustic container.  Water coloring is not a skill of mine; however, I decided to give it a try.


1 Corinthians 3:11-15

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.  If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light.  It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work.  If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward.  If it is burned up, he will suffer loss (of a reward; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.”

Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia Candle

I love beautiful poinsettias, and today my card features the Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia Candle stamp.  I created the card for last week’s color challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The hostess, Barbara (bejoyce), provided a wonderful color combination for the challenge. She selected SU Hello Honey, Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise, & Pear Pizzazz.  Her dessert was water coloring.


Romans 1:29-31

“They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity.  They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.  They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.  Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such tings deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”

Paul’s Charge to Timothy:  “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.  Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.”  1 Timothy 6:17-18

SU Birthday Blooms

Hello and thanks for stopping by!!  My card share today features the SU Birthday Blooms Stamp Set.

(UPDATE:  The WONDERFUL news about this card is that it was selected as the favorite card for the week of those submitted to Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge (see below) last Tuesday).

Birthday Blooms_1

As alluded to above, I created this card to submit to a Splitcoaststampers (SCS) Color Challenge, CC580 – Daffodil Island Garden.  The colors for the challenge are Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, and Garden Green, which are Stampin’ Up! colors.  Vicki Dutcher (vdutcher), SCS member, was the wonderful host who selected these colors for the challenge.  I love blues and yellows together, so I enjoyed this challenge; it was a great color combination.

Vicki offered “dessert” if leaves were included in participants’ submission.  As you can see, they are part of the floral image on my card.

I stamped the floral image in VersaMark, added white embossing powder, and heat set it. I used the ZIG pens to watercolor the floral image, using colors as close as possible to those for the challenge. I got a little heavy-handed with the blue color at first, as this was the first time I’ve used the ZIG pens. After completion, I fussy cut the image and adhered it to a double-stitched Whisper White circle that is framed with a Garden Green double-stitched frame.

I used Daffodil Delight card stock for my card base.  I added a piece of designed acetate for the first layer, and it is from an old SU designer series paper (don’t recall the name). Then I used a old and wide piece of blue SU ribbon, stamping on my “Thank You” greeting.

I hope you enjoy the card!
