2 Cards Same Stamp

Hello crafty people!

Today I'm going to show you 2 very different cards

made with the same stamp, which happens to be

one of my favorites.

This poppy image is 

3101AA POPPIES

from

Stacy Stamps

This first one I stamped onto watercolor paper

with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

then colored it with my 

Lyra Watercolor Crayons and

Neocolor II Crayons

I stamped this poppy again with VersaFine Onyx Black,

but colored it with my 

Fantasia Colored Pencils

I used a mask to cover the poppy and stamped 

with VersaMark Watermark Ink using

a polka dot background stamp.

I'm not sure which polka dot stamp I used,

but there are many available.

Both sentiments are from the 

Lovely Greetings Stamp Set from

Cas-ual Fridays Stamps.

I love how these 2 cards turned out,

of course, like I said, it IS one of my favorite

stamps.  So how could I go wrong?

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you're having a lovely day and

you'll take time to create something

beautiful.

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!

Real Beauty

Hello visitors!

Today I have a layout that I'd like to show you.

I happened to find some 12" x 12" watercolor paper a

few weeks ago and snatched that right up.

It is Master's Touch which is the

Hobby Lobby brand.

I have wanted to do some stamping and watercoloring 

on some scrapbook layouts, but hadn't seen any of the right 

sized watercolor paper.

I decided to do a layout of my beautiful daughter.

She is not only beautiful on the outside, but on the

inside also.

Here is the layout I made.

The pictures and the title are both matted with some

green paper from my stash, it matches nicely with the

ink I used ,which was

Crushed Olive Distress Ink.

The rose stamp I used is

"Rose" from QKR Stampede 

and were stamped with Versa Fine Onyx Black ink

which is water proof, so is perfect for watercoloring.

I colored all the roses with watercolor crayons.

I have 2 brands, Lyra and Neo-Colors

I love using watercolor crayons, they blend so beautifully.

The "baby's breath" is

"Tiny Baby's Breath" from Biblical Impressions.

I used my MISTI tool to do all the stamping

and it worked beautifully.

I hope you will try doing some stamping and/or watercoloring on 

your scrapbook layouts.

Thanks for stopping by today,

come again soon.

Until next time, try something new!

Sympathy cards

Sadly, I have needed some sympathy cards recently.

I didn't have a sentiment that was exactly what I wanted and

decided on "Just a note..." from Eureka Stamps

This way I could write my message inside the card.

These cards could easily be used for any type of note.

I stamped the poppy image from

Stacy Stamps

onto watercolor paper and used my watercolor

crayons to color them.

I have both Lyra and Neo Color water color crayons 

and love them both.

The difference doesn't show up a great deal

in the pictures, but I tried using different combinations

of reds, oranges and purple to color the flower

and a few greens for the rest.

I fussy cut the flowers and adhered them to 

a blue background paper,

then onto the white note card.

I varied the size of the card a little bit

and I like how they both turned out.

Sometimes simple is best.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Until next time, make something beautiful.
