More Watercolor Fun

My 2 boys are away at Summer camp for 2 weeks and this is the first of many cards that will be going out to them. I love using my aqua painters to make fast and easy card fronts. Below I've gone ahead and listed the supplies I used.

This is a standard cut card 5 1/2"x4 1/4"

For Camera stamp with versa mark ink. I used my stamperatus to make sure I got a crisp image and placement was perfect! I colored a pattern with my stampin write markers and then used my aqua painter to give it that watercolor look.

For my Waterfront card, I did something similar. Only I didn't use my stamperatus. I just winged it! I colored with stampin' write markers in the two colors and used my aqua painters. On both cards, I dried with my heat tool. For the trees, I made sure my watercolor was dry, went over it with my emboss buddy, stamped the trees and sun in versamark and embossed with gold. Such a beautiful effect!

Fundraiser for my Sister

For a Good Cause & Great Value ****Please share with your friends.**** Many of you have heard about the fires that have been tearing through California. My newly married sister and her husband just received confirmation yesterday that they have lost their home. With literally minutes to leave, they were able to grab their animals and, with the clothes on their backs flee. The winds were so strong that many people near them did not make it out. 95% of Paradise California is gone. They are grateful to be alive. We are grateful they are still with us. However, their home is gone. Just married in September, she's lost her wedding dress and so many priceless items that will never be able to be replaced. For the period of November 11th 2018- December 11th 2018, I will be offering free shipping at my shop. (Better than big box craft stores!) My profits/commission will go directly to helping my sister and husband rebuild their lives. During your holiday sho...
