Herb Babies

The title of today's card for this Tuesday's color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches is a family joke.

My husband started growing hydroponic herbs in an AeroGarden.  He travels quite a bit so he is always asking one of us to care for his herbs while he is out of town.  We have nicknamed them his "herb babies"!  Sometimes I think they need more attention than the cats and dog!

Here are the colors for this week's challenge:

The card uses the Seasoned with Kindness hostess stamp set from Stampin' Up!  The images are all stamped in waterproof black ink on watercolor paper.  I stamped the pots first,  masked them off and then stamped the herbs.  Since this is a two-step set, I then stamped the inner green leaves on the left herb and the flower center on the right one to color them in.  For the pots, I used a Cajun Craze watercolor pencil and Aqua Painter.   This pencil comes in the limited-time watercolor pencil set that is available only in August (it may be available in future catalogs).

I ripped the edge of the watercolor paper and used washi tape in Blueberry Bushel to add just a touch of color.

I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator (although I admit I'm more of a hobby demo).  If you don't have a demonstrator, I do appreciate if you are purchasing from Stampin' Up! that you use the links to my SU website here.  And the month of August is BONUS DAYS.  For every $50 in merchandise that you purchase you earn $5 towards purchases in September.  Even better, August has our limited edition stamp set/bundle and watercolor pencils!
