Morning Soft

What a beautiful stamp set. I always love the sketchy stamps that are great for watercoloring. So Morning Soft is no different. I made this for my club members as a little thank you. They are such a great group of ladies!

I would say the key for doing really great watercoloring is your paper. For this card I used SU!'s watercolor paper. It can take a whole lot of water and won't warp or pill.

I also used my new favorite tool... the color spritzer. I had so much fun. There is a very small learning curve, but just a few minutes with a piece of scrap paper and you will have it down. I have since gone a little spritzer crazy and am using it on everything!

Fruity Thanks

I just love this set (Tart and Tangy) and I really hope it makes the new catty. Here is a simple pocket card with this great set. It also uses Much Appreciated, which is retiring. I hope they have a good simple "thank you" set... I use this one all the time. ~:-)

Hello stranger!

Hi you guys! Sorry I've been gone a while... I totally lost my mojo. I didn't even want to look at my desk. So I didn't. Sometimes you just have to let it come. Now I am excited about stamping again!

So this little cutie I made with my mom in mind. Inside the sentiment is "that I love you?" How cute is that? You know what's sad though? Unfrogettable is retiring! Ack! It's so cute. Of course this means that something cuter is replacing it... hmm. Maybe I'm not so sad. :-D Flannel Plaid is also retiring... maybe I should call this "The Retirement Card".
