Wednesday’s Card: White Watercolor Flowers

White Watercolor Flowers

Hi All! I decided to use the Secret Garden set again today. I really do love all the flowers in this set! Someone recently asked me how I come up with my card designs. The first thing I do is decide which stamp set to use, then I decide on the technique or style. To decide the technique or style, many times I will search the stamp set on Google images. That’s what I did before creating this card. I {Read More}

Wednesday’s Card: Up Up & Away Birthday

Up Up and Away

Hi All! Let me start by saying… I’m sorry. Here I am writing up my post about this card video, talking about how happy I am that this Up Up & Away stamp set has been carried over into next year. So, then I start working on my supplies list. Where is the stamp set? My link wasn’t working anymore. Why? Because it’s retired!!! Ugh. How frustrating. I really try hard to use stamp sets that are not retired. All {Read More}

Wednesday’s Card: Watercolor Birthday Buddy

Birthday Beaver

Hi All, Isn’t this little guy so cute? It’s a beaver, right? Sometimes I get confused, kind of like singing the wrong words to a song. It’s another stamp from the Birthday Buddies set – the fish on this card is from the same set. I used my Inktense Pencils to watercolor him. I think I’ve decided that I prefer my Aqua Painter to a paintbrush, at least when it comes to detailed images. I was making a lot of {Read More}

Wednesday’s Card: Fabulous Florets

Fabulous Florets

Hi All! Today I used several different Stampin’ Up! sets, but mainly Fabulous Florets and Pleasant Poppies. The last time I used Pleasant Poppies was on this card as a focal point. It also makes a great background (in fact I think Stampin’ Up! calls it a background stamp). I’ve used Fabulous Florets on this card, this card, and this card. I explain in the video why I love this stamp set. I used one Inktense Pencil and some water {Read More}

Fun Friday Collabo, Week 3!

May 17 Fun Friday

Happy Friday!! Back yet again for another collaboration with Jill Foster! This week we are both using the Penny Black Verdant stamp. Here’s my card for this week: I used the Penny Black Paisley Outline Stamp with the same colors I used on this card. I also used it on this card, one of my favorites. I like it because the pattern is so small that it’s not distracting at all. But anyway, I’m supposed to be focusing on Verdant! {Read More}
