Scalloped Sympathy

There have been so many deaths over the past month.  So sad that I need to make a ton of Sympathy Cards, but I guess that's where we are in life.  This card is a CASE of another one somewhere here on the internet.  I forgot to write down where I found it.  :(  Sorry about that!  If it's yours, please link to your post in the comments and I'll add it up here.  This card uses the SAB DP from this last campaign, paired with Perfect Plum and Always Artichoke.  The stamp sets are Loving Thoughts and Growing Green (ret.).  I love the lattice die and now it adds such a wonderful background to almost any card.

Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station.

Workshop Project and Remake

 Last Friday night's workshop was great!  I didn't know how many of the guests had previous stamping experience, so I tried to keep a couple of the projects pretty simple, while throwing in a technique.  This is a remake of the watercoloring with markers project.  I've added the Espresso layer behind the flower and the frame behind the greeting. 

Here's the original workshop project.  I love watercoloring with markers on the watercolor paper.  It looks so wonderful and is so super easy!  What have you made with your watercolor paper lately? 

Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station!

Growing Greener Every Day

At my last workshop, we had a lot of fun watercoloring with markers. The guests were remarking on how easy it was and how great it turned out. Want to see? It's quite easy!

First, you need to stamp your image in a permanent ink, like the Jet Black StazOn that Stampin' Up! sells. This is a wonderful product and I love the true black color. After stamping your outline image, use your Stampin' Write marker to outline some of the lines, but not all. Take your Aquapainter and spread the color out from the lines. We finished off the center piece with the Scallop Trim Border punch. Just for this sample, I've added the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder on the background vanilla.

Well, thanks for stopping by, once again.

Recipe: Growing Green stamp set; Early Espresso, Garden Green, and Very Vanilla card stocks; Woodland Walk DSP.

....Since July 1st????!!!!!!

Oh my word!!! I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. So sorry! We've been having so much summer fun that I guess I forgot to post. That, and I haven't had much time to stamp. But now I'm breaking out my new goodies from the new SU! catalog. This adorable set is called Baby Bundle and I LOVE it! I used the Build A Bear Pawsitively Prints II DSP and sponged around the main piece with So Saffron. The onesie and booties were watercolored on watercolor paper with an aquapainter and reinkers. The polka dots were made with the embossing folder and then sponged over with Certainly Celery ink. I used the SASC61 sketch challenge on Stampin' Addicts for the layout inspiration.
This card also started with a sketch challenge from Stampin' Addicts. I used SASC60 and my new Growing Green stamp set to jump start this one. The DSP is Woodland Walk and it's gorgeous! After stamping and coloring the images with my markers, I covered the whole piece of Vanilla cardstock with Versamark and then sprinkled Iridescent Ice embossing powder on it. After heating it to melt the embossing powder, the colors on the stamped image are deeper and beautiful. I wish you could see it IRL, because it looks much better than in the photo.

Well, thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station once again. I'll try to have another post soon.

Blessings,
Julie
