This is a gorgeous card that my friend Deb Valder made for a swap I hosted. As you can tell, she is much better at watercoloring than me! LOL! This was one of my favorite cards from that swap. This was another card that I found while cleaning out some stuff. It is amazing what happens when you do that. Maybe I should try it more often! Ha ha…

I had forgotten about this card and I just found it while cleaning out some stuff so I thought I would post it. I made this one with the Garden From the Heart set on pg 9 of the Stampin Up Occasions mini catalog. I stamped the background with the Sanded stamp in chocolate chip. I used the watercolor crayons to color in the hat. Pretty easy card if you like to color. I am not that great at watercoloring so I don't do it very often.

Here is a gorgeous card made by my good friend Tami White. I love how she did the background with the Big Shot die. The watercolor in the hat is gorgeous too. This is my 2nd favorite set in the new Stampin Up Occasions mini! The first is Vintage Vogue!

PS…so many people have emailed asking about the technique. Just brayer the color onto the textured plate and then add your paper and run it through the Big Shot. The ink will only go onto the flat areas, not the raised part.

This is a card my upline Faith made for me. We were messing around trying to come up with some ideas and I thought this one came out really pretty. The outer oval scallop is the Bella Bleu paper. It is colored with the watercolor crayons and the blender pen. I love this new stamp set Garden from the Heart. It will be available to order from the Occasions mini on Jan 5th.
