Waterfront Card

Hi Friends,

I love water-coloring and I LOVE this Waterfront  stamp set!

It is so versatile for so many occasions!

And before you laugh too hard, I DID create this video last Friday –April 13th! Just a week later I got to publish it!!!

Here is the finished card.

 

What do YOU think?

Check out my video below and see how fast and easy it is to make!

Here are the directions:

  1. Base of card is Night of Navy CS cut at 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″
  2. Next is a layer of Soft Suede CS cut at 5 1/4″ x 4″and Snailed onto the base.
  3. Next is a layer of Night of Navy CS cut at 5 x 3/3/4″ and Snailed onto the Soft Suede layer.
  4. Take a piece of Water Color paper, cut to 3 x 4 1/2″ and start the FUN!
  5. Starting from the bottom, I used Marina Mist ink for the water shadow.
  6. Then using Night of Navy ink, I added the water lines.
  7. Next I used Soft Suede and added the sandy beach and the trees.
  8. Then using Old Olive, the mountains were stamped full strength and stamped off.
  9. The sun was stamped with Crushed Curry –and the message in Night of Navy.
  10. The inside is a piece of Whisper White stamped with the trees and mountains and I did the same thing to the envelope! (no naked envelopes in my house!!!)

VOILA!!!!! Fast and easy –and so so pretty.

Sunflower Give Thanks Card

Hi Friends,

Perhaps this is one of my all time favorites!

I love sunflowers!

They are happy creations from above!

they make me smile and think of the warm summer and early fall…. I love them

And this card is an example of how fun a sunflower card can be!

It was inspired by a sample in our catalog!

Easy and fast to make.

The base is Whisper White , then a layer of Garden green which I dry embossed with the Petal Burst  Embossing Folder.

A strip of the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper, some Burlap Ribbon under a messaged banner, a few stamped and cut out leaves AND a SUNFLOWER and ta-da!

Of course I added a Clear faceted Gem and Wink of Stella for accents.
What do YOU think?

Ok friends… hope you enjoyed this week's series of cards!
