Good Morning!

Today I would like to share with you a couple of cards that I made using Jennifer McGuire’s water coloring with stamps tutorial.

Well, I guess I do not have a picture of the other card I made with this technique. Bummer, I forgot to take one before giving it away. It was done in blues and was a birthday card.

I just love this stamp set. You can find it here. And I love how the Pearl embossing powder sets off the whole image. It is subtle in real life, but I messed about with the angle so that you could see it on camera.

As always Jazz and I appreciate your visit to our little blog.

Hope your week is fantastic!

Hey gang,

Hope you all are enjoying this fabulous fall weather. Here in Colorado it is absolutely gorgeous. Here is the view from my neck of the woods. Mt. Meeker at an elevation of 13,911 and Pikes Peak at 14,111.

But anyway…

I found this tutorial from Catherine Pooler. If you have not checked her out, you should. She hosts Stamp Nation. It is an online group that has hundreds of card making tutorials that you can join for a small fee or just check out her blog as she has tons of stuff there too.

I loved how simple these were to make and how different they all looked simply by using different colors.

Thanks for looking!

Wendy

Here are the next cards in the series. These are from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous snowflakes and Amy R Snowflake Sentiments

These are embossed with Zing Opaque white and super fine black embossing powder by Ranger on Kraft cardstock. I was inspired by a card made by Prairie paper and Ink. You can see a Utube video of it here.
