Morning Cup Sq Lattice

Sorry about not posting for the last few days.  I'm getting ready for a couple stamp camp dates as well as club nites.  Trying to get all the cutting done for these.  Will post some pic of the cards we're doing at the stamp camp when I get a free moment.
I've had this set for a while now and never inked it until now.  Really liked the cards I've seen using this set so thought I would try it out.  I stamped with Stazon on Shimmery White.  I used S. White cs so I could use my watercolor wonder crayons with the Aqua painter.  I really enjoy coloring with the aqua painter.  I colored it   then cut it out and used pop dots to give it dimension.  W. white is layered unto E. Espresso, and Baja Breeze.

To purchase these products go to my Stampin Up Website HERE.

Hope you enjoy!
Thanks for Looking,
Happy Stampin

Watercolor look 5th Avenue

This is just a fabulous technique.  Not sure whose idea it was but I've seen it on several blogs.

I stamped the flower from the 5th Avenue floral set with versa mark on shimmery white cardstock, embossed with white embossing powder and heat set.  With water in a spray bottle, I sprayed the back and front of the stamped cardstock.  Using 2 colors of ink (from reinkers) and an aqua painter, drop ink unto the images any way you please. Let dry.

Recipe for the top card
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, Something To Celebrate (hostess set)
Ink:  Elegant Eggplant, Versa Mark, Baja Breeze
Cardstock: Naturals White, Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White
Accessories: White Embossing Powder, Big Shot, Embossing folders Square Lattice & Framed Tulips (new Mini), Lots of tags sizzlits,  Corner rounder.


Other colors I've used with the Baja Breeze are Cherry Cobbler & Bravo Burgundy.
