Happiness Shared

Well I took a few more days off then I had planned to, all in all we had a wonderful Christmas. I hope everyone is enjoying their Holidays.
Here is another card from the Upcoming Birthday card class I am doing on January 1st and 5th.  Colors on this card are Regal Rose, Garden Green and Very Vanilla.

More- Happiness Shared

So as I am sure you have figured out, I love to watercolor! Here is another Happiness Shared card.

• The card base is Very Vanilla, I ran it through the Big Shot with the Elegant Lines folder before I folded it in half.
• I stamped both images with Stazon onto Watercolor paper and watercolored with markers and an Aqua Painter.  Colors used, Rose- Regal Rose and Rose Red, Leaves- Old Olive and Always Artichoke.
• Images were layered onto Old Olive and again onto Rose Red. The images were then layered onto the card base with the bud, on Dimentionals, overlapping the the full bloom. 

I hope you like this card, the stamp set is a great one for watercoloring.  Wouldn't this work as a Birthday card or a Mother's day card?  I hope that you all have a wonderful day!

Happiness Shared

The first thing I look for every time we get a new catalog is for stamp sets I can use for water coloring, this was on my watercolor wish list.

• Card base is Whisper White with a front of Pearch Parfait, then a layer  from the Hostess Level 1 DSP In Colors Pear Pizzazz.
• I stamped the image in Stazon on Watercolor paper for the rose I used Peach Parfait and Pumpkin Pie markers and an Aqua Painter, leaves are Old Olive and Always Artichoke.
• I layered the image on Peach Parfait and again on Pear Pizzazz.
• I warped a piece of Pumpkin Pie Ribbon around the Pear Pizzazz and knotted.
• I stamped the 4 You from Tiny Tags on Whisper White and punched out with the Jewelry Tag punch. I used croquet thread to tie it to the ribbon.
• I used Diemensionals to layer the image onto the card.

SU watercolor paper is outstanding, I had a customer over on an Open Studio Tuesday, she was the only person in at that time, I had a watercolor card in the designed cards that they could choose to make, it had been very popular and I only had 3 left in the box for her to make she wanted to make 12. I was out of SU watercolor paper but I let her talk me into cutting up a page of my sons watercolor paper.  It just did not seem to blend as well as the paper we get from SU, even my customer comment on the difference.  It was good to learn how good SU's is :).
