Hiya there sweet friends – three cards to share today. Yep, count ’em. Yeah, two of them you would never know I made, but I sure had fun doing it :-) So today is Day Three of the Waltzingmouse Stamps August Releases. There were so many sets with this release that you should definitely hop around and have a look see. For me, first up is a baby shower card using the new Waltzingmouse Vintage Baby Shower set. It’s a clear stamp set and the detail is absolutely phenomenal.
I simply stamped the parasol with Memento Ink (there is a die being released, however I fussy cut the parasol) and popped it up on my card. I have a very classic card base with Spellbinders Grand Decorative Labels One layered with Spellbinders Marvelous Squares. I rimmed a plain panel and my Marvelous Squares panel with a Krylon Gold Marker that I simply drag around the edge while pressing into the cardstock.
These watercolor cards were an absolute dream to make! It’s been years since I messed around with stamping and watercolor but it’s a trend that has come back around :-) Those of you who have been stamping for a while might remember that for a while we watercolored everything! These were quick and easy and the watercolor background pairs perfectly with the bold sentiments in the new Waltzingmouse Hello Happy Thanks set. The hardest part of this adventure was exercising restraint. I wanted to pop it up, glam it up, ribbon it up and many might even think I’ve gone too far here, but a simple embellishment of Spellbinders Layered Flowers and a pennant cut of ribbon – that’s it.
I made lots of backgrounds and mis-stamped on my favorite one which led me to cutting it out. I loved the result of popping one background up over another – let’s just call that my happy mistake. I used Distress Reinkers and placed a dot of each color on my teflon mat and spritzed with water. Then I misted the top of my watercolor paper and laid it down on my teflon mat. When I picked it up, there’s enough water that the paint starts to run down the page. I spritzed more as needed. Hows that for easy? As hard as you may try, no two will come out the same! I sped up the drying by using my heatgun then trimmed to size.
