rose garden sympathy

It's hard to see the Wink of Stella that these roses were painted with. I used SU's Rose Garden, Timeless Textures and reinkers for these cards.

dragonflies

Stampin' Up has done it again! Designed the most wonderfully perfectly eye-poppingly delicious stamp and die Dragonfly Dreams bundle. I can't get enough of it and so I keep on and on using these dragonflies On EVERYTHING!! The card (above) has a water color background and if you look closely you can see I used Wink of Stella on the dragonfly as well as the Congrats. (Below) Is an example on a single layer direct-to-paper design with an embossed dragonfly and then masking and sponging.

jar of lilacs for you

I tried to get a picture that showed the Wink of Stella glitter paint and this is the closest I got. It adds a subtle glimmer to the lilacs.

The Open Sea/Botanical

This ship from The Open Sea was stamped and then water colored with my aqua painters. I'm loving the Botanical Blooms from the new Occasions Catalogue, pages 26 & 27. Be sure to get the bundle at a 15% discount and this particular bundle includes the Botanical Gardens DSPaper as well. A really sweet deal to be sure!

Here you might be able to see my favorite Wink of Stella Glitter Brushing again! Simply gorgeous!

watercolor Remarkable You

I told you about Stephanie, my new friend, in my last post. These two cards (above and below) are her creations. She's good for me in this little thing that she confidently creates "simple" gorgeously. I loved watching her work at these. Aren't they lovely?!

At the same time, I made the card below and then on the bottom, you see a close up of Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. I cannot tell you HOW wonderful Stella is! The picture doesn't nearly portray her beauty but it might give a sort of idea of what she does. Oh and one more thing...we used the rotary stamp thing-a-ma-bob for our sentiment as it gave us that perfectly imperfect script.
