Yummy Christmas Card
The Yummy Christmas Stamp set from Stampin' Up is a perfect stamp set for the SUOC Color challenge this week.
Humming Along Brusho Notecard
This hummingbird card features Brusho watercoloring as well as traditional coloring with Stampin' Blends. If you have never tried Brusho, it is a lot of fun to work see what all those color crystals will do when sprinkled on wet watercolor paper. The vibrant colors are simply awesome.
Mountain Range Watercolor Look Card
Use the Waterfront Stamp Set to create a gorgeous majestic mountain range card suitable for a man's birthday.
Best Wishes Watercolored Wedding Card
What could be more elegant than a silver embossed wedding card made with the Petal Palette stamp set from Stampin' UP? How about a wedding card enhanced with the softness of watercoloring those beautiful roses?
Petal Palette Thank You Card
I knew that I wanted to color the beautiful cabbage roses from the Petal Palette stamp set in Cherry Cobbler so I colored the leaves with the Old Olive Stampin' Blends. The roses were cut out on the Big Shot using the matching framelits. I really loved how they looked.
I added the textured behind them using the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder on a piece of Old Olive card stock and then cut it out on the Big Shot with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The sentiment comes from this stamp set as well.
Brusho Clearwater Sky
Try out the Brusho crystals by sprinkling them on wet watercolor paper. Let the background dry and then add the palm trees in night of navy and the sun in Tangerine Tango. You can blend as much as you like with an aqua painter.
