Under My Wing stamp set

 Hi Stampin' Friends! Today I want to share a card I made for a swap. I recently traveled to Michigan for a super fun demonstrator event and part of the event was a Shoebox Swap. If you have never heard of a Shoebox Swap, let me tell you what that is.  Each person makes a finished card, and then makes up kits with all the pieces needed to recreate the card. We put it all in a shoebox type box with the inks, stamps and everything. Then we pass the boxes around the table so we each get to make one of each others cards. Fun! Here is the card that I brought.

 This is the new Under My Wing stamp set.  It is part of the September Online Exclusives Release. You can see the Online Exclusives here.   I loved this stamp set right away because I love birds and I love to color. This set fits both of those loves!! I decided to watercolor my first card with the set. I used Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, and Old Olive inks. See my full how to tutorial on YouTube for tips and tricks. 

 

I kept the inside simple with a nice Thank you note.  The Designer Papers I used for this card are from the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper collection.  
 

I am sure I will try this stamp out with other colors and mediums. Next up I think watercolor pencils!

Cheery Chirps sneak peek

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to introduce you to the new Cheery Chirps stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.
I just love birds and I like to watch the large cardinal family in my yard, as well as all the little birds that visit all year.  I also thought this set was drawn so adorably! There are three birds and so I have created three cards, all watercolored.

This second one is in very bright non-realistic colors, and I think it's very fun.

The background is easy to do and looks great in person. 

I created the background with my Aqua Painters by splattering the Wink of Stella pen over a still wet background.  I will have a how to video on this tomorrow. 

And this last card uses some of my favorite colors.  Island Indigo, Lemon Lime Twist, and Crushed Curry. 










Here is a video with some tips on using your Aqua Painters to color in this fun new stamp set.
