Stampin' Up! Dandelion Wishes

As this current Annual Catalog gets closer to retiring, I thought it would be fun to bring some things out to use.  The background on this card is made with Pigment Sprinkles.  A little goes along way!  The box holds 6 small jars with the following colors:

• Bermuda Bay
• Daffodil Delight
• Granny Apple Green
• Gorgeous Grape
• Mango Melody
• Melon Mambo

For this card, I used a piece of watercolor paper.  Using an Aqua Painter, I covered it with water, then sprinkled just a wee bit of Bermuda Bay on the top and moved it around with the wet Aqua Painter.  I cleaned the brush and added just a wee bit of Granny Apple Green to the bottom and moved it around.  

You can let it dry or use the Heat Tool to dry it.  After it dried I embossed the dandelions with the Shimmer Black embossing powder.   I embossed the greeting with Black Embossing powder.  I think the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon compliments the sparkly dandelions perfectly!

Stampin' Up! Forever Blossom

A touch of gold really finishes off the black and white flowers on this card.  After stamping the flowers, use a blender pen to blend the ink.  After die cutting and adhering the flowers, add metallic gold pearls to the centers of the flowers.  Emboss the sentiment in gold, and add a strip of gold foil cardstock.  Easy but elegant.

Stampin' Up! Mountain Air Bundle

Have you heard the old sailor saying "Red sky at night, sailors delight, red sky in the morning, sailor take warning."?  I'm not sure if this is morning or night but wanted to create somewhat of a red sky effect over the mountains.   

I used three ink colors on Fluid 100 watercolor paper.  Using my Aquapainter, I started with Night of Navy, then added Highland Heather and ended the sky with Flirty Flamingo.  I started the Highland Heather up in the Night of Navy and worked my way down and did the same thing with the Flirty Flamingo.

The one thing I would change is stamping the greeting in Night of Navy instead of Gray Granite.  What do you think?

Stampin' Up! By The Dock

 What a fun set to play with!  I always struggle with masculine themed cards and fell in love with this set.  This is the first card I've made with this set and definitely will be making more.  

I started with a wash for the sky (Balmy Blue) and the water (Coastal Cabana).  I stamped, colored, and die cut the dock, boat and frog.
