Samples Made Into Cards
Since returning from Nashville, I’ve been working on the samples I posted before I left. I’ve run into issues with my Wizard and it took me much longer to get the paper cut than what I originally intended. It seems like I’m always running behind.
I made cards for all of the samples and decided to post several of them since some of you asked for close ups. To keep attention focused on the watercolors, I’ve kept the designs very simple. As you can see, I’ve painted the same stamped image in several different colors using Tombow markers. The washes were painted with Stampin’ Up! re-inkers.
I used More Mustard for the background wash on this picture. The paper looks black, but it’s actually gold mirror paper. It’s very difficult to photograph.
I used an embossed gold paper on this one. The wash is a combination of Certainly Celery, Mellow Moss, and Lovely Lilac.
I used Lovely Lilac on this wash.

The sentiment is a stamp from A Muse. Since these are notes I’ll be sending out, I thought it was the perfect sentiment.

Unbelievable! Every single one is a masterpiece! Did uyou say you coloured them with markers? Huh? When I use a marker, it looks about the same as my 8yo. I am in awe!
Each one is more beautiful than the last. I tried to pick a favorite but can’t. I espeically love the layers of Nestabilities.
They are so pretty! Love your work!
Oh Jerri, you are an artist. These are just awesome and each one is so beautiful. I love all the colors you used and as Jennifer said, they should be hanging on the wall. The are truly a work of art!

Jerri, I love these nestabilities and this assortment of cards are simply beautiful! The lucky person who receives these will be most thrilled. Yes, you are the master of watercoloring and I wish I could come sit w/you and watch you to learn how to do this.
Oh my goodness — jaw on the floor again, and I’ve even seen these paintings before!!! I think how you’ve made them into cards of the same shape was a fabulous choice!!! I love each and every one of them as well as all the pretty details your’ve added to each — ribbons, pearls, butterflies — just lovely!!! Thank you so much for sharing your creative talents with all of us!!!
Each one of them is more beautiful than the next. Absolutely gorgeous, and so very elegant! I love them ALL!
They are all just beautiful-love how the different color washes really “set” the colored images. tfs

GASP! Oh my, just when you’ve think you’ve seen the prettiest Jerri card ever — she goes and stuns you again. Can I stamp with you sometime and watch you paint? That would be a highlight for me. We need to find a way to get all the Stamp Simply fans together one of these days!!!!
Wow! These just take my breath! You certainly have a gift and I’m in awe!
Jerri, these are spectacular!! The watercoloring is simply stellar!! You’ve been so productive!!
Just beautiful, would be hard to pick just one as a favorite.
Oh my, they’re all gorgeous. You get such vibrant color in your watercoloring. You’re DA BOMB!
Very beautiful! I do have a question though. How do you do the “wash” on the cardstock. Are you just sponging the color on?
I sure wish I could color like this. You do such a great job.
Stunning, as always! You are so blessed with such talent.
Jerri, I love the combination of colors and washes you used…it really showcases each one so beautifully! What beautiful notes they will be for you to send out.
Jerri, you are such am amazing artist….Your cards are sooooo gorgeous….they need to be framed!!! The embossing and intensity of the colors are absolutely stunning!!!!!
I could look at these forever, Jerri! They’re just stunning! I love seeing them in all the different colors. The card shapes are fabulous. Oh, I’m breathless!
Holy cow! These are gorgeous. (Do you get tired of hearing that? I hope not!)
Wow, Jerri Kay, these are all so beautiful, and also a great way to use that Nestie set! Of course, I’m a little partial to the Lovely Lilac one. :o) Linda
