Faux Watercolor Thank You + Sale-a-bration Second Release

Did you hear?  There is a second release of Sale-a-bration items available now.  I absolutely love the set Eclectic Expressions.  You can get it free with a $50 product order!  My "faux watercolor" is made using this new set.

I started with a panel of Shimmery White and stamped the larger watercolor splotch repeatedly with Sugar Plum, Fresh Fig and Berry Burst.  On a scrap piece of Shimmery White I stamped the same colors using the smaller splotch.  I used the scattered dots, stamping in Fresh Fig over the top of both stamping several times without re-inking.  The greeting is stamped in Basic Black and is die cut using my Big Shot and the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies.  The following image shows all the stamps in the set.

I used my Aqua Painter to smudge or define some of the edges of the stamped images. The base card is Fresh Fig Card Stock. The "watercolored" panel is mounted to a layer of Basic Black Card Stock with just a 1/16" border showing.

The die cut layer is mounted using Stampin' Dimensionals, tucking some messy loops of Basic Black Metallic Thread behind it.

It's finished off with a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels. 

I would love for you to choose to order your Stampin' Up! supplies through me.  You can get the supplies for this card from my online store 24/7!  Don't forget to use my February Host Code, HZTEG7F6, when placing your order (no need to use it if your order is $150 or more 'cause you will get hostess benefits).  It's Sale-a-bration time so you get to choose one of the free items from with every $50 in product you order.

Thank you for looking! I think you will love the Eclectic Expressions set.

Panda Valentines with Brusho Hearts

Happy Valentine's Day!  I made these simple cards for my grandsons.  The pandas are from the Sale-a-bration set Party Pandas, you can choose free with a $50 product order.  The hearts are Watercolor Paper spritzed with water then sprinkled with the new Brusho watercolor ink crystals and used my Aquapainter to move it around until I was pleased.  I used the Sweet and Sassy Framelits Dies to cut the hearts.

The background scatter stamp is from the Sale-a-bration second release set Eclectic Expressions.  It, too, will be free with a $50 product order starting February 16. I got a little carried away with it on one card so I over compensated and used it sparingly on the other.  The balloon is cut from a scrap of Brusho watercolored paper using the same Sweet and Sassy Framelits.

The pandas were stamped on Whisper White using Basic Black ink, they were fussy cut and I used Dimensionals to pop them off the hearts. Oh, and I used my Clear Wink of Stella pen on the white parts of the pandas  Finished the cards off with a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

I stamped the greeting inside using the fun set Labeler Alphabet -- it is such a fun set to use and I think my grandsons will like it more than a pretty script greeting.
