Simply She Stamps...: watercolor wash

Gotta love little notes! This one measures 2 3/4" x 4"....you can get four little notes out of one sheet of card stock. Slice off a 1/2" from the short side of CS (the 8 1/2" side) and then cut the four card bases along the 11" side at 2 3/4" ...you'll get exactly four! Save the 1/2" strip for the greeting banner as shown above.

We made this card at my last Stamp Camp. We used a watercolor wash with the emboss resist technique: emboss the hearts and then apply the ink with an Aquapainter or watercolor brush, the hearts will "resist" the color.

This card was inspired by my friend Marisa's beautiful creations here: Dzines by MEG She's one of Stampin' Up!'s Artisan Award winners (for the second time!).

My daughter was watching the live stream of Stampin' Up! Convention last night and was inspired to create the above card...designed by her, all on her own! She watercolored the rainbow on our new Whisper White Thick cardstock using an Aquapainter and ink from Stampin' Write Markers (she scribbled each marker onto a plastic container lid and picked up each color to make the "paint" for the rainbow watercolor wash).

We're busy creating cards using the Ronald McDonald House Charities Sprinkles of Life stamp set for our upcoming Stamp Camp fundraiser in August. Contact me if you're interested in attending!
