July Thank You Notes- Remarkable You

My July Thank you notes were made with the OH-SO-AMAZING new stamp set called Remarkable You. 

I LOVE the big images that are perfect for coloring!  

You can find this gorgeous stamp set on page 112 of the annual catalog! 

Now these cards are beautiful and simple....but I thought I wanted to step them up a bit......so here is what I did: 


 Isn't it amazing what a colored mat and a stamp from Gorgeous Grunge can do?

Happy Anniversary- The Wilderness Awaits & Timeless Love

This is the anniversary card I made for my hubby for our 6th Anniversary. 

I have not played with my watercolor pencils for a while so this was the perfect opportunity! 

Using Memento Black ink, on watercolor paper, I stamped the goose image on the bottom left and then I re-stamped the goose image two more times but without the grass.....how'd she do that you ask?......oh the magic of masking tape! 

I simply taped over the area of the stamp that I did not want with masking tape, inked the stamp, removed the tape and then stamped on my paper- easy peasy! 

Then I colored the images and background with watercolor pencils and a blender pen as well as my aqua painter. 

I really enjoyed making this card....I need to use my watercolor pencils more often!!!

The products I used: 

The Wilderness Awaits page 86 $22.00
Timeless Love page 29 $21.00
Memento Black ink page 163 $7.50

A Different Card....Father's Day 2015


Here is a card I forgot to share earlier- a card I made for my hubby for Father's Day from me and his "little girl" Dixie.

 This is a really different card for me.  A while back I purchased some cardboard die cuts that were tools.  For this card I simply colored the die cuts with my copics and a silver marker!  

The flattened bottle cap with the #1 dad is the perfect embellishment for this manly card.

This is a perfect card for hubby as he is always fixing things or building things! He sure had a big smile on his face when he opened this card!
