Spring Song Birthday Card

Currently, I am trying to distract myself from the business and sadness of this week. So, I am blogging another creation. Hope you enjoy it!
This one is easy to do and uses one of my favorite techniques....watercoloring with the Watercolor Wonder Crayons! I just love the warmth of this card, which can be used for so many things if you change the greeting.

Tip: Make sure to use a permenant ink [like Stampin' Up!s Basic Brown, Black or Gray] for the outline of the bird, so that your ink doesn't run when you watercolor.

Project Supplies:

• Spring Song Stamp Set
• Bitty Birthday Stamp Set
• Floral Background Stamp
• Close To Cocoa CS
• Chocolate Chip CS
• Whisper White CS
• Basic Brown Ink
• Aquapainter
• Watercolor Wonder Crayons - Earth Elements
• 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon - Chocolate Chip
• Cutter Kit

See my next post for a tutorial on USING BACKGROUND STAMPS.

Spring Song Scalloped Card -- BIG SHOT!

Soooo, I've been playing with the new Big Shot Die-Cut Machine. OH MY WORD! So slick, quick and easy! It is a blast to use and very simple. You have GOT to try this! You will fall in love with it! Give me a call to set up your demonstration and time to play with the Big Shot.

I used page 102 in the 2008 Stampin' Up! Fall & Winter Catalog to give me inspiration for this card. I changed the layout a bit and used the scallop instead of the circle. I just love the softeness of the So Saffron cardstock, Designer Series Paper and Poly-twill Ribbon combined with the big die-cut Scallop.

Enjoy!
