Remarkable You card set

I simply LOVE the images from the Remarkable You set. They color in so beautifully. The background on these cards was done using my brayer and some old "found" textured paper in some old stack somewhere from long ago prehistorically. Well, pre-Stampin' Upically anyway. So no, that design isn't any special technique or stamp. Sorry! I'm missing one of the Remarkable You images since I gave that card away before I got its picture taken.

from the herd

This stamp set has long spoken to me, especially since moving onto a farm. And those animals make me laugh every time!

So here's a chuckle for you again!

People Like You...in watercolor

Okay so the whole design isn't watercolor, but the background is---on Whisper White cardstock. I used Stampin' Blendabilities on the flowers and then after the background was painted in, I masked off the flower and stamped on some flourishes and ferns from my ever favorite Butterfly Basics. AGAIN!!!

I fell in love with People Like You long ago but only made a couple cards with it since I couldn't get past that the quote on it. While I don't mind what the original image says (the world is a better place because of beautiful people like you) I'm only going to give that away once or twice. 

One day I had lots of time to think (yes, I was in my recliner due to back issues again...) and I thought, "Hey, there's a punch that matches that shape! I'll use THAT and change what it says!" And since I was in the water color mode I figured those ferns and flowers would be awesome against a pond setting!

So there you have it!

it's in the details {effortless}

 

 Since I was in the mood for something springy and birdlike even though it's -20*C out there and snowing, I decided to give you an {effortless} batch of cards done in white, Coastal Cabana, Old Olive and Pistachio Pudding. I won't go through every detail. You can check those out by studying the pictures.

What I wanted to show you is that you can change up any of the details on any card to create a completely different effect every time. I kept my colors all the same, but changed up ribbons, embellishments, frame shapes and stamped images.

Not difficult at all!
