Today is the last project I will show featuring the stamp set Balloon Celebration. But - you will notice that it is completely different!One of the main advantages of photopolymer stamps is that they are transparent - so when you are stamping the placement is so easy! I used two of the balloon string stamps on this card. One of them I only inked 2/3 of the way and used it for a dandelion stem. The second string cleverly incorporates the saying into it. I used that … [Read more...] about Balloon Celebration Online Workshop – Project 4

The Lemon Lime twist is just a highlight in the centers of the flowers. It is my favorite new … [Read more...] about Introducing 2017-2019 In Colors – all on one card!

Floral Inside and Out
Today's project super easy. The Lovely Words die cuts are just adorable - and stay tuned - there are so many fun ways to use them! In designing the card at a couple of points it needed just a bit 'more'I used the watercolor pencil to add some highlight of color to the larger flowers. Blended it with the blender pen and added just a touch of Stella. The black pencil added just a tiny bit of contrast to the centers.Here is a quick video to see how you do it!The new clear … [Read more...] about Floral Inside and Out
