I was in the mood for something.. well... Just CUTE!! I stamped a few cards this past week. Here is a Birthday card for a little girl I know.. I used the "Owl Together Now" stamp set, and watercolored the image. The strip across the bottom is background paper. Simple, and charming!
This card features a couple newer products! The brown strip down the card is actully textured background paper.. This stuff is great! I'm in LOVE anyway! Also look for the "just for you" stamp and the scallop oval punch in the new mini catalog! You can order them as of April 1st!!
The is last card is a simple Thank you! Using another stamp from the new mini catalog, and same great new scallop oval punch, I also used one of the bigger oval punches to mat it. Again I used the same textured backgound paper also. How did I get my butterfly blue??? A quick tip.. Ink the whole stamp with your brown ink. then. You can use a clean watercolor pen to "erase" the brown ink off the butterfly, then apply the blue with marker..This won't work very well with BIG areas, but with small ones, it does the trick. You may find you need to clean off the tip of your watercolor pen in the middle of the job. Just to be sure it picked up all of the brown. I used the same techinique in the card above. I guess I needed my finger for this pic too! LOL!! But the card is fully matted with choc. chip paper too! The ribbon shown is the Very Vanilla taffeta. If you haven't tried this you should.. Easy to work with and very pretty! Happy stampin all!!
