Easy coloring

I am not really one to color images.  I'm way too impatient, plus I'm not very good at it!  I love that the Happy Watercolor set lets me stamp a line art image without having to color it!

The card base is Gumball Green, and the top piece is Very Vanilla.  I stamped the flower image in Early Espresso then added Summer Starfruit, Primrose Petals and Midnight Muse.  The dot image is stamped in Gumball Green.  Add the chevron ribbon and sentiment, and you're done!

Happy stamping!

Punch art sun card

This one of the cards that we made at my workshop last week.  I just love the sentiment!  The card base is Pool Party.  The grass is Wild Wasabi cut with the fringe scissors.  To make the sun, I  embossed some Summer Starfruit cardstock with the Big Shot and the Distressed Dots embossing folder.  Then I punched out a 1 3/8" circle.  The rays are made using the banner punch and Sweet Sorbet DSP.  Then I added a few sequins for some sparkle.

Happy stamping!

 

Purple butterfly

I stamped the Swallowtail image onto Smoky Slate cardstock using VersaMark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder.  I watercolored the image with Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant inks.  I added a paper clip with Wisteria Wonder ribbon then adhered it to a Wisteria Wonder cardbase.

Happy stamping!

Cheers!

My friend Kristy was kind enough to give me a container of In Color decorative pieces, so I wanted to use them right away.  I started with a note card and Kristy's favorite stamp set: Cheers to You.  I stamped the drinks, layered on the washi tape, stamped the sentiment and added Pistachio Pudding decorations.

His and her valentines

I made the same valentine for all of the kids this year.  The girls got the version at the top, and Daniel got the bottom one.   Both cards feature a heart embossed with the Decorative Dots folder and an arrow made of washi tape.

Happy stamping!

Ray's valentine

Ray loves puns, so I had to get the Crazy, Mixed Up Love stamp set!  The lava lamp is cut out with Chalk Talk framelits, and it's layered over Real Red Coredinations paper embossed with the Hexagon folder and then sanded.

Happy stamping!

Inspiration from the past

I got this card in the mail from my MIL, Shirley.  As soon as I saw it, I knew that I had seen it before.  Shirley said inside that I had given her the card as part of a set a long time ago. I think it held up pretty well!  I decided to use this card as an inspiration for a new card.

 

Here is my new version of the card.  The cardbase is Calypso Coral topped with Coastal Cabana.  The flower image is layered on top of Pistachio Pudding.  The stamp set used is Happy Watercolor.  Accessories are gold bakers twine and a pressed clay flower.

Happy stamping!
