DCBD 197

Recently I was able to help a friend out who's hostess wanted a Halloween themed workshop and this holiday is not one her favorites so she didn't really have any current products. Since she knew I had ordered everything on one of our Halloween pages in the current mini, she asked if I could help her. I was so glad to be able to repay her for the many kind things that she has done for me. When she returned my items she had included the above stamped image knowing I didn't have it & that I love it. I may have to get this set now! Isn't she sweet? My friend, that is. The little girl image is also.

SWAPS

Isn't she lovely?  I like that song.  Butterflies are so popular in paper crafting right now and why shouldn't they be.  They are so delicate & pretty.

Isn't this gorgeous?  Lisa created a masterpiece, didn't she?  She used the 5th Avenue Stamps which are on sale this month.

Love this.  Lily used a make-up swab with ink and glossy paper to create this look!

Arla featured our Flower Fancy stamp set that is part of our promo this month in her project.  I believe that Stampin Up created the 2-step stampin stamp design. Great place to start for new stampers. For more info, send me an email.

Sorry for the lousy scan, I can't seem to get a good scan when there is dimesnion on cards. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

This is Kathy's project.  She used a watercolor pencil to create the depth/shadow of the flowers.  Fabulous.

April SWAPS

This week I have incredible SWAPS to share with you.  First we were to create a Mother's Day project using watercolor pencils or crayons in a technique new to us.  In this technique I used our Watercolor Wonder Crayons & a line image stamp, in this case Asian Artistry - an exclusive Hostess set.  Using the crayon I first colored the stamp with it, spritzed it 3 times with water, spritzed a piece of watercolor paper with water 3 times & stamped the image.  Using my heat tool I dried the image & then using Basic Black ink I stamped the same image over the the one I just created it.  I am a huge fan of watercoloring, but I don't feel I'm very good at it.  But, I do like how this turned out.  Hope you like it also.  Thanks so very much for stopping by and taking a look.
