Sunrise Wheat Field

I love to paint and I often spend time using my stamping supplies as paint supplies, painting with my ink pads rather than get out my paints. The ink pads are right there on my desk and are fantastic to watercolor with, and I think I can honestly say that I paint something or other at least 5 days a week. I recently watched a tutorial online from Let's Make Art and we did a Wheat Field. It was super fun and I loved the look and I right away decided to make it into a card. I wanted the card to use stamps for the images because it would be easier to mass produce and it would be something I could share with my customers who might not want to try to free hand the wheat stalks. I searched my stamps and found that the Gather Together stamp set was perfect for this card. There are some nice sentiments as well as that wheat stalk.

Each card comes out a little bit different from the next and it is so fun to just watch the ink bleed into the paper and create this pretty sunrise, or maybe sunset! not sure!! But I am sure that it is beautiful!

Here is a video how to that shows you how to create this card step by step.

I would like to show you the painting that inspired the card. Hope you like it as well!

Adorable Hedgehog card!

When I first got the new Annual Catalog from Stampin' Up! one of the first stamps I fell in love with was 'Walk in the Woods'. Mostly because of the adorable hedgehog! It is just so cute! I like the mushrooms too, and the art style of the images, but that hedgehog!! Had to have him.

I started by first making a card pretty much copied right out of the catalog, but then I branched out and made a whole bunch more!

This video shows you several of the cards I came up with, as well as how to make them.

I really enjoyed playing around with this cute stamp set. I made sure to use all of the images and most of the sentiments. I made some very simple and some with a little more work. I hope you enjoy them! Which do you like the best?

Using Stampin' Up's New Water Painters

Hi Everyone. Today I wanted to play around with the new 'Water Painters' from Stampin' Up! These new water painters replace the 'Aqua Painters' from previous catalogs. I LOVED the Aqua Painters, so when I saw they were being replaced I had to put the new version on my first order. I was curious to find out if they lived up to the older version and I am happy to announce that they do! And, the new set comes with a set of 2 round brushes AND a flat wash brush! The set of three Water Painters are just $12.00. I used the flat wash brush for a variety of backgrounds and it worked so smoothly, I was really pleased with it. I made several backgrounds and used them for some Birthday cards. All the cards use the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. I really like this stamp set because of the "Happy (a little bit late) Birthday. I try to be timely but I must admit that I am often a few days late with my birthday cards! This stamp is perfect for me!
Here is a video of how to make this simple watercolor backgrounds.

This first card uses the wide flat wash brush to make some stripes on the background. This card uses Night of Navy and Magenta Madness. The cute tiny flowers are from the new Confetti Flowers Border Punch. The sentiment is embossed in white embossing powder.

This second card also uses the Confetti Flowers Border punch. The colors for this card are Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, and Night of Navy. I used an emboss resist technique on this card.

This next card uses the Wink Of Stella pen to achieve some fun splatter patterns. The colors here are Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, and Gorgeous Grape. The sentiment is embossed on Basic Black.

This card uses Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, and BlackBerry Bliss for the background. I added some sequins from the Artistry Blooms Sequin assortment. I used an emboss resist techniuqe on this card.

I made a couple additional cards using some scraps of water color paper that I made while practicing with the Water Painters. This card uses the watercolored paper under a die cut from the Stitched Triangles dies.
