Treasured Friend Card

This card was made last week at our $10 Month Club Playgroups.  I used the Pemberly paper packet and the May Stamp of the Month, "Friendship Bouquet."  We also used the Eclectic Edges and the Stitched Together stamp sets. 

The technique I showed at Playgroups demonstrated how to use our awesome Watercolor Pencils and our Blending Pen.  These items lead to beautiful water colored images.  You will feel like Picasso when you use them!  I used Round Durables Studs and Bronze Glitz Glitter Gel to embellish this card.

Don't miss your opportunity to order "Friendship Bouquet."  It is available during the month of May and is only $5 when you purchase other items totaling $50 subtotal!

Believe Workshop on the Go Cards

This month I chose to use Originals - Terrific Triplets card pattern for the Believe Workshop on the Go Cards.   I think they turned out pretty cute!

I used the Blending Pen and stamp pads to fill in this cheerful Santa.  I scissor distressed the edges (because a little birdie told me they were tired of sponging - wink, wink - you know who you are).  I think the ribbon and ribbon slide are darling accents for a Santa card as it resembles his belt!

I utilized the Dimensional Elements Stars to embellish this card along with the Olive Mini Medley that comes in the workshop kit.

I don't know about you, but I can always use extra Thank You cards (especially at Christmas time).  This one is adorned with a double stacked Dimensional Elements Stars and the cutest little button brads from the Olive Mini Medley.

Gnome Garden Clear Card

As a child, my favorite activity was coloring.  Stamps like "Gnome Garden" take me back to those childhood days and the exhilaration that coloring brings.  For this clear card, I used the Elemental Paper Pack, Mini Medley Pewter Assortment, and Mocha Opaque Gems.  The Gnome is shaded with our watercolor pencils and a blending pen.

*Tip - when coloring an image with a blending pen or water brush pen, you need to use StazOn Ink or Archival Ink to prevent running/smearing.  I used Brown StazOn Ink to stamp the Gnome and the butterfly.
