This card took some extra time to make — why you might ask? Because I made the mistake of stamping the sentiment last and messing it up after all the watercoloring had been done! Yikes! I’ve always said in stamping and cardmaking that there’s usually a way to fix a “mistake” without starting completely over. In this [...]

I had a little time this afternoon to try out the new Bordering on Romance stamp set — it’s perfect for watercoloring! The central image is watercolored with an Aqua Painter and Reinker Inks (Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive). Stamps: Bordering on Romance, Fabulous Phrases, En Francais Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Daffodil [...]
Elementary Elegance Monogram

I needed to make some monogram thank you cards for a friend who likes subdued, neutral colors. The “S” is computer generated in Word and the font is Baskerville Old Face, with a font size of 84. I found the RGB code for Early Espresso online (R=80, G=57, B=49) and punched the “S” out with [...]

My boss is a big UK fan and I was given a UK scarf to use for inspiration in creating a Christmas card for her. It’s a good thing I’m such a pack rat when it comes to SU! retired items; I still have a generous stash of Brilliant Blue cardstock and inks to work [...]
Angelic Inspiration

All images copyright Stampin’ Up! This is one of the cards I created as a member of the Splitcoast Dirty Dozen. A Starbucks paper bag was used as my inspiration. It’s hard to see in the photo, but the Baroque Motifs background (stamped in white craft ink) and the angel were embossed with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. [...]

One of my dear friends asked me to design a Christmas card for her using pink and this is what I came up with, from inspiration found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2082650?&si=lovely.
