Hey There!

Well here is a new technique for you to try today.  This is watercolor washing.   You use our watercolor paper with the Aqua Painter.  You can see below how I did this.   Before opening your ink pad give it a squish together so that when you open it you can see the ink on the cover.   Add a bit of water to make it somewhat watery.   Take your Aqua Painter which also has water in it and grab some ink and wash it across the watercolor paper.  I used three different colors here.   Coastal Cobana,  Crisp Cantaloupe and Perfect Pistashio.    I also used the cork accessory I showed a few days back to finish off the card. 

Products Used:

Paper- Watercolor Paper #122595 - $4.95, Basic Black, Coastal Cabana

Accessories- Cork Accessories (made by cork and our word bubble framelits),  Aqua Painter, Uni Glo white pen

Stamp Set: Besty's Blossoms

Bunny Card

I thought it would be cute to use our new spiral flower die to make the bunny's tail. It turned out cute!  and easy to make.  To make the back ground I took our stampin write marker in so saffron, pear pizzazz, pink pirouette, soft sky and colored directly onto the chevron stamp, then stamped right onto the whisper white cardstock. 

Products Used:

Cardstock- whisper white, crumb cake, pink pirouette

marker colors- soft sky, pink pirouette, so saffron, pear pizzazz

Stamps:  Chevron background stamp, Delightful dozen

Accessories-  1 3/4" circle punch, 1 1/4' circle punch, large oval punch. spiral flower die

Positively  Chevron background stamp

Sweet Sorbet Cork Accessory Pack

It's still Sale A Bration time which means you can earn one of many of these great items from our Sale A Bration catalog.

The one below happens to be the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack

Comes with the spools of three baker's twine and a sheet of self adhesive cork images.  (58 pcs)   FREE! with a purchase of $50.00

I already used up my whole sheet and LOVED the idea of cork images so I decided to go purchase a sheet of cork.  I bought the thinnest piece possible so that I could punch through it with hand punches or framelit dies.

It punches nicely using our Stampin' Up! punches 

OR

you can use any of our framelit dies which are compatiable with the Big Shot machine.

I used quite a few different punches and framelit dies

 I used our Stampin' Up! Uni Glo white pen to draw onto the cork. 

I also used our classic basic black ink pad and stamped right onto the cork.  Works great! Now add them to your cards, scrapbook pages, this and that book, the possiblities are endless~!
