My favorite thing about using watercolors is that you do not need to be precise. If the color runs beyond the lines, it is okay. There is no coloring police lurking in the shadows and no tickets to be issued. You can also use the same color and get various shades by just adding water. How cool is that? What are your thoughts?

Thanks Petals

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) does all of the work on this card. You can easily change the sentiment to whatever you desire or need. The magnolias will give your sentiment its pizzazz. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Hand-Penned Petals

Paper:

   Petal Pink A-2

   Magnolia Lane DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 2-1/2 x 1-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   5" White Glitter Ribbon

   Tasteful Labels Dies

   Petal Pink Flower

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Fast Fuse

   Adhesive

First, I wrapped the white glitter ribbon across the center of the DSP. I used Fast Fuse to hold the ends of the ribbon on the back. 

Next, I adhered the DSP to the Petal Pink card front. I used liquid adhesive for this step, but any adhesive will work.

I stamped and die cut my sentiment and adhered it over the ribbon in the center of the card. This is where I used glue dots. 

Lastly, I added the Petal Pink flower, some rhinestones, and adhered the white panel to the inside of the card.

Butterfly Silhouette

At first glance, I think this silhouette is difficult to decipher, partly because the image is not completely closed. So, I decided to add some rhinestones in place of the butterfly's body. What do you think? Did it work?

   Hand-Penned Petals

Paper:

   Misty Moonlight A-2

I then stamped my sentiment in Misty Moonlight.

I sponged the edges using Mint Macaron.

I then adhered this panel onto the Bermuda Bay and then onto the Misty Moonlight card front.

Lastly, I adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card and added rhinestones to the card front.

Beaded Christmas

Sometimes I end up with supplies that need to be repurposed. I had several triangles that needed to find a home in a new creative idea. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   A Greeting for all Reasons

   Festive Favorites

Paper:

   Emerald Envy A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Triangles from Paper Pumpkin Kit (7/16)

Ink:

   Early Espresso

   1/8" Handheld Punch

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Fast Fuse 

   Adhesive

The July, 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit consisted of small shaped boxes to gift small treats. Unfortunately, I had no use for these. So, I cut the shaped boxes apart. I ended up with many triangles. 

I punched holes in the triangles using a 1/8" handheld punch. I then added glue dots to the back of them to hold the trim in place. I threaded the trim through the holes, making sure the glue dots held it in the back. 

I then used fast fuse to hold the triangles together, one on top of the other.

I stamped snow on the white panel using Soft Sky ink. 

I attached the tree using dimensionals and drew in the trunk with an Early Espresso marker.

I stamped a greeting and added a red bow, using the red holiday trim.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the card front and added the other white panel to the inside of the card.

Leaves

Sometimes you can do everything right and still get yucky results. I am not happy with the impression that I made on my small panel. I think if I find some leaves with more juice, my results will improve. What do you think?
