STENCILED WATERCOLOR BACKGROUNDS

Happy Saturday!

I had some time to try a stencil from the Post & Parcel Kit.

I used the snow stencil to make some watercolored confetti:

I stamped 'Celebrate' from Celebrate Big and gave it a water wash so it looked watercolored. Then I punched out some balloons and watercolored them. String and clear sequins finished the cards off.

We are crafting this morning and have a bee field trip this afternoon!

Have a wonderful day!

STAMPING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX

Lexi gave us a design basic and how the ideas started flying. You could use this idea with almost any stamp set and of course I had so many ideas and so little time =)

I challenged myself to use a stamp set I hadn't used in a while and got one card done.

Made a 'box' using Chevron Stripes. Then added a car and sentiment from Need for Speed. 

I added a die cut chevron scrap from Clipsters...so fun when you can use those scraps!

Have a great evening,

Curved Sentiments

What a great little technique this week: bend your stamps to create a curved sentiment.

I thought of the curved banner from the Tinsel & Tags kit and got busy:

I used a mask and stamped What the Doodle Feathers all round the banner in Vintage Jadeite and Soft Stone. Then I curved my sentiment from Praying For You mini set and added it to the banner. I popped the banner up a little and added sequined to finish!

Have a wonderful weekend!

We are going to do a little 10 year anniversary celebrating.

Our lovely inspiration:

One of my crafting buddies was inspired by the pretty blue color and flowers:

I lean towards taking the inspiration very literal...I think it's part of the fun to make a card that matches the photo =) So I had to have a blue background, then in white I stamped flowers and leaves from Songbirds, Stylized Autumn, and Bitty Blooms. Then I added color on top of the white.

I used One Big Happy with a little Wink of Stella and some twine to make my little patten panel into a card.

Have a happy hop day!

Thanks for stopping by,
