Today's card was made using the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die on vellum paper. After I cut the flower out, I lightly inked up sections of the petals using an aqua painter and Tempting Turquoise just to give the embossed image some highlights. I adhered the vellum to Flock Together DSP and then added the…
Today's card uses one of the bigz dies (Flower, Daisy #2). I really like this die especially when used with the Tea Party Designer Series Paper. This paper is so beautiful with the colors Almost Amethyst, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Basic Gray I used So Saffron, Almost Amethyst and Tea Party…
I thought I'd make a card without the designer series paper (gasp!!!). Yesterday when I was playing around with spritzing the card stock with water before feeding it through the texturz plates and Big Shot, I made one using the scrolls plate from the Texturz Backgrounds #1. As you can see it came out really…
The colors in the Sweet Always Designer series Paper are unusual but I like them. Who would think that Pumpkin Pie and Regal Rose would go together. Though this looks like I used the rock 'n roll method, I did not! I first inked up the image in Regal Rose, then carefully colored the tips of the…
I wasn't in the mood to stamp today but I did want to have a card for you. I pulled out this image that I had colored several weeks ago. The reason I didn't use it because I used the wrong color (should have used Bordering Blue instead Baja Breeze). I inked up the brayer…
These flowers are addicting! I was not one of the first one to buy this set, but after seeing all the beautiful cards everyone else was making, I knew I had to have it! And I'm not sorry! This time I decided to try watercolor crayons. I colored the main image in with the Perfect Plum crayon and…
I bet you are wondering where I got the gorgeous paper! It is from the Au Chocolate DSP (retired) that I used yesterday. The colors are Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla but I made it into Chcolate Chip and Regal Rose. I used the brayer and Regal Rose Classic ink giving it several coats. I…
Today was a very easy day for me. The card on my other blog, Inspirations by Rachel, was made without any stamping. This card includes some stamping but no coloring! Yes!!! I love those kind of days. Recipe: Stamp Set: Friends 24-7 Paper: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Designer Series Paper Au Chocolate (retired) Ink: Chocolate…
I am having so much fun with this technique – I think it was originally shown at the Seattle Regionals. I've made pink, yellow, purple and red/orange watercolor roses in the last couple of days. Here's a sneak peak at the purple and red/orange roses. I've colored them but won't put them together for another…
