Watercolour backed card

I saw that at So Suzy Stamps, the blog hop for March is using watercolored techniques so I decided to use some stamps that I recently purchased from them and get to work.



Once again, I took some watercolored card stock and stamped my two So Suzy Stamps on them.  I embossed them with Stampendous Detail white embossing powder and heat set it.
I then put a lot of water on my paper and used Mustard seed and Fired Brick distressed inks with a paint brush.  I played around with water to get the splotches in the background and the stamped images acted as a resist which gave them the nice look.
I thought the background needed something more so I attached some DCWV twine around the card and some sequins (from michaels).
I attached it to the card using foam tape.

I just love the watercolored backgrounds and will hopefully continue to when I get more time!

Classy note cards


So I purchased these metallic embossing powders in September that were green and purple.  I just can't get enough of them! They are the Recollection brand from Michaels if you wanted to know!


I decided to make some note cards which were blank inside to sell in packs of 5-10.  I just love how they turned out!


 My french immersion friends would especially love these ones because we never have lots of French cards out there.  I can't believe I had this stamp set in my stash and I didn't even know it! Not sure where they are from either so sorry everyone!

French cards

Well not enough people make French cards. Recently, I found a French birthday stamp set which is cute but small. I decided to make some cards for my French immersion buddies who never get any cards in their language!
