PTI Stamp-A-Faire '18 Planting Your Garden

Dawn McVey shows us some stenciling and layering as we

'Plant Our Garden'

I first stenciled some leaves made from Turning a New Leaf, (made a stencil with

vellum), and a few berries from Color Pop Autumn.

Die cuts stamped with Farmer's Market Florals, and sentiment

from Color Pop Autumn.

It's been fun watching the live videos. Looks like everyone's had a 

good time!

Grateful for You

Hello! And welcome to the Card Concept's new inspiration,

...and it's all about pastels!

Love to do shakers, and just imagine what the recipient's face is like when they open the

envelope, and get to interact with their card. 

Play along for a chance to become our guest designer! We love seeing what you do

with the photo and card styles.

Thanks for visiting, and happy crafting!

Happy Little Stampers September '17 Watercolor Challenge

Happy September to you! Oh yes, it's September all ready.

Kids in school, temperature cooling (Hopefully), and the colors change

from bright pastels to fiery hues! Love it!

And, to launch September HLS has a challenge for all the 

Watercolor fans, Anything Goes with an Optional Twist - Spritz

Here's some inspiration for you, stamping and watercoloring with your water based inks.

My sentiment is from Year of the Psalms April from PTI, stamped in Ranger's 

Archival Waterproof black ink. 

The berries are also PTI, a set called Beautiful Berries: Summer, which allows 

2 step stamping.

The inked images were spritzed with water before stamping on watercolor paper.

While still wet, the 2nd layer of defining stamps were added, bleeding just a bit,

not enough to blur the definition.

Some added color around the berries, and leaves, and then some Lindy's Stamp Gang

Starburst dropped onto the card, randomly.

Hope you play along this month. Remember winners receive a $25. gc to the HLS shop.

See you in the linep!
