Watercolor Background

The Crooked Stamper's Card

Here is the last card I made for an October 11th Birthday. I copied the technique of watercoloring the background from The Crooked Stamper. I love her blog as it is very inspirational and quite entertaining. She was right in that this is rather time-consuming, but I had a lot of fun doing it. TFL!

Supplies Used:

Paper: Watercolor Paper & scraps from my stash

Stamps: Penny Black Allover Pattern, Hampton Art Birthday Cake

Color: VersaMark,  Embossing Powder, Watercolor Pencils

Other: Tonic Studios Ticket Punch, SEI gems

Celebrating Seven

Card #2 for today....this one is for my seven-year-old nephew. I used Sketch #508 over at Split Coast Stampers. What a great place to get inspired! I had fun pulling out my old Sizzix Gifts dies and was happy to find a yellow number seven sticker. And, I got to use some scraps for all the die cuts!

Supplies Used:
Paper: from my stash
Stamps: TSOL
Dies: Sizzix Gifts, Nestabilities Labels Eleven
Other: The Paper Studio Medium Polka Dots EF, The Paper Studio Twine
