Stampin' Up! Breathtaking Bouquet

When I first saw this stamp I thought it was rather busy.  But it has grown on me.  I haven't done this technique in a while and thought Breathtaking Bouquet  from the January - June Mini Catalog was perfect for a Spring card.  And if you love to watercolor, this is the perfect stamp for it!

I'm ready for the snow and cold to go away and see flowers blooming in our yard again!

Stampin' Up! All That You Are

This is a technique I haven't done for awhile. It's called Spotlighting.  It's easy to do and great for new stampers.  To make this card, I stamped the image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White cardstock.  I stamped it again in a scrap piece of Whisper White and colored part of the image with Stampin' Blends.  I punched a portion of the image with the 1 3/4" punch and layered it on a Basic Black 2" circle.  I adhered the circles to the original stamped image, lining up the images.

Pretty neat, huh?  The Glittered Organdy Ribbon (carried over from the Holiday Catalog) adds some sparkle, which is always a good thing!

Stampin' Up! Petal Palette Best Wishes

I haven't done the Spotlighting technique in quite a while and I found that the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper is perfect for it.  You can use any technique to watercolor the paper.  I chose to use Stampin' Blends for this card.
