Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is almost here and here is another card that the ladies made in Saturday's class.  We used watercolor paper and made some backgrounds with Twinkling H2O's.  The trick here was to get the paper very wet and then paint with the Twinks.  I'm glad that you can see the pretty shimmer of the Twinkling H2O's in the photo.  Click here to see my video of the technique.

Besides stamping, we also used the background paper we created to punch out the maple leaves. This way everything is color coordinated.  The punch also does a great job and the embosser makes the pretty veins in the leaf.  To finish off the card we used the Scrollworks embossing folder and the Viva Decor Pearl Pen in black.  Quick and easy!

Watercoloring with Twinkling H2O's

I just love this watercolor technique I learned when Dave, from Memory Box was at the store in July. It's so easy, yet it gives you impressive results. Here's a quick demo to show you how to do it.....



And I'm happy to say that the really, nice and thick watercolor paper (140 lb) is in stock as well as the Twinkling H2O's.

Thanks so much for stopping by and
Happy Stamping,

Watercolor Cards

All of us learned so much from Dave Brethauer when he was here teaching classes. I, myself couldn't wait to go home and try the watercolor techniques. It was so relaxing to make the watercolor backgrounds. I haven't used my twinkling H2O's in such a long time, so it felt good to pull them out again. The shimmer in those paints just make those backgrounds gorgeous.

Here are the cards that you can make if you take the watercolor class with me. You'll learn how to make the great backgrounds, learn how to blend the colors, as well as learn how to use your twinkling H2O's and watercolor pencils. Hope this gives you some inspiration for your next project.
