Stamp Ink Paper: Water Color

I impressed myself with my water-coloring abilities.  I mean, I almost feel wow’d because when it comes to water-color, I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing.  I searched for “How to water-color for beginners” on YouTube and that’s it!

You can show us your water-coloring skills over at the Stamp Ink Paper challenge.  Craft level doesn’t matter.  I’m proof you don’t have to have any experience with water-coloring whatsoever.

The Details:

  • How to Get Started.  Believe me, I had no idea where to even start!  So, I went to YouTube and typed Watercoloring for Beginners and it returned me the list…start there and you’ll soon see that it’s easier than you think.  It’s literally how this card happened. he cardstock.
  • Watercolored Butterfly.  I learned about using an acrylic block from a fellow Pal and it was easy too.  First, I stamped the rubber with two different colors and then used our spritzer to spray water straight on the rubber.  It’ll come out different each time giving it a unique look.  Try it.
  • Black Die-Cut.  With the darker butterfly and light background, the black matte and die-cut made the “sunshine” stand out and didn’t overwhelm the entire card, at least that what I thought (HAHA).  It really does look so much more beautiful in person.

Stamp Ink Paper: Color Challenge

For me, card-making is therapy and as of late, I get so caught up in the thing we call life that my therapy sessions haven’t happened as I’d like. =)  With that, I wish you an Oh, Happy Day!  I’m not even sure how many people actually stop by and check out my weekly cards, so if you’re reading this, THANK YOU!

The Details:

  • Embossed Background.  This oval-shaped background was a piece of scrap whisper white cardstock that I had laying around. I couldn’t even tell you how it was cut.
  • The Church.  The church is from the Hometown Greetings Edgelits Dies.  It’s a part of a strip with another building (home) and two trees next to it.  It’s super cute and you can snip what you want or leave it in once piece.

Tic-Tac-Toe with Stamps Ink Paper

Halloween

Let me tell ya about my card today.  I knew that I’d make a pumpkin because it’s the easiest thing to make when you don’t have many Halloween stamps.  You can see my previous pumpkin here.  Today’s pumpkin is dedicated to my friend Michelle.  She was a co-worker for a couple of years before she had to move (it’s how the military rolls).  I miss her very much and to her I say, “I see your feet!” LOL

SIP 19

It’s all about the SIP (Stamp Ink Paper) #19 Challenge today and just to quickly share…the first time we played a Tic-Tac-Toe design, I was lost!  I didn’t know how to play it.  It only took me 30 minutes to figure out I just needed to pick a winning line and design what was inside that box.  Come on down and show us a ghost, a pumpkin, or even a cat.

MAGGIE MADE TIPS:

  • Paper Pumpkin.  I used the large oval punch to punch out seven  oval shapes of the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper and adhered them  back.  I didn’t want the typical orange pumpkin, so I just chose two different patterns to given it a little depth.  Easy peasy and you can do it too.

Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #15

329.1I apologize for the late post my friends, but there was a fire in the central area where Comcast maintains their operations and from what I’ve heard it burnt some of the hard wires for inter service.  I’m just glad no one was hurt and this morning I say “THANKS” to the California Firemen who have been working overtime.  God Bless them. =)

On to my card…the Stamp Ink Paper challenge.  The colors this week are gorgeous together.  I don’t know what it is, but it feels to me as if the black ties the other two together.  I would love to see what you come up with.

SIP 15 When I first began participating in card challenges colors used to be my biggest challenge (duh, reason why it’s called a challenge-LoL), and I preferred sketches.  But now I love the color one’s over the sketches.  Have I gotten better?  I dunno, but I think my creative side as grown and that could be it.  Who knows, as long as I continue participating I’m one happy camper.  I’d love to see what you can do.
