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…
I love the way this card turned out! (I guess we can say that about our cards, can't we???). Doesn't this look like the perfect Mother's Day card? I saw the technique on Patty Bennett's blog and I knew right away I had to try it! I stamped the rose image on Shimmery White card…
I love morning glories but they have such a short growing season and I don't get to enjoy them as long as I would like to. I love the way they bloom in the morning and then once the sun hits them, they close up. Today's card is called Morning Soft. I first ink up the…
Today's card was punched out using the Sizzix Bigz die Circle Scallop. I'm really amazed how easy these dies are to use on the Big Shot. I cut out Pale Plum card stock 4 x 8 and then folded in half. I position the layer right below the top scallop so that I would…
A couple of posts ago, I stated how much I hate to use my designer series paper. I tend to hoard it. This is the first time I've used Parisian Breeze since I bought it. I thought I would use it with one of my older but goody stamp set, Heartfelt Thanks. Today's card is…
