Water color crayon cards








I played around with my water color crayons on some of my Raisin Boat stamps and they worked great. I colored the stamp and then spritzed it with water and stamped it on water color paper.
I let it dry and then then stamped over it with the stamp that had been inked in a darker shade of ink to bring out the detail.I love how they turned out.
Thanks for stopping now go and pull out your water color crayons and play for awhile.

Easter Fun to share with you.

I made some new eggs this year for my egg tree. I used my nested eggs die set by spellbinder. I cut out some white eggs and then stamped them with flowers from Raisin boat a stamp rental company based right here in Waunakee WI . It is like net flicks you sign up for a monthy plan and then you get to use the stamps and return them when you are done and then pick some new ones to use. Pretty cool! You can check them out at http://raisinboat.com/
I sandwiched a ribbon between the 2 eggs and I added some small pearls for the center of the flowers.
Some of them I used stripes of border punches to look like lace.
This is a quick and fun project.
I hope it brings a smile and inspires you to decorate your own eggs.

Lovely Lavender Lemon Drops

Doesn't the title just roll off your tong? I am just loving this card. The colors just say spring, along with the crocus flower. I used some digital paper for this card from Gena K in Lemon Drop and the flowers and frame are also from Gena K designs.I don't think I could make a card with out using a spellbinder die any more. I just love them, the possibilities are endless.I had finished playing with the lay out and it just needed something so I pulled out my dot embossing folder and that was what it was missing.( Hopefully we will see some crocus in person real soon.)
I hope you got a little smile on your face when you read the title it is almost like a name of a fancy candy.
Have a nice day and take some time to play.
Donna

Floss on a card?

This is a card I did with my new spellbinders Mega Classic Ovals large and the scalloped set. I stamped my flowers ( Gena K Spring Floral's) with Grey memento ink I like the soft look it give verses using black.I colored them with copic markers and also air brushed them with copic to give a nice soft touch.
I pushed small holes around the oval and then sewed them with yellow floss adding a bow to hide the starting and ending spot.The paper is Lemon yellow and Cream de Mint from gena K and the green plaid is from October Afternoon Farm Fresh paper pack. This is my first try at useing Floss on a project. I can thank Moxie Fab World for that they have a challenge going on!
This is a card and gift box I did using floss. I had fun with this. I Stamped the bear;s ( Oh Baby GenaK) on GenaK's digital spring paper and cut them out.I layered them on another of the papers from the collection. I used a spellbinders die to make a solid mat for under the bear. I used brads to wrap the floss around and then tie in a bow at the bottom. This made a nice frame for the bear. I tied it all together ( pun intended) by adding a bow on the bears neck to match the floss frame.
The card and gift box were done the same way.
I hope you enjoyed stamping by and seeing were my latest challenge has taken me. This time it truly was outside the box!
Take care,
Donna
