Christmas in July?

I finally found some time 5:15 am to make a card for Gena K's Friday challenge. It is a Christmas card!
I used Rupa Shevde's Magic of Christmas tree's and colored them with Copic markers. I distressed them with distress ink and a stipple brush. I then Die cut the tag card ( Accucut) and then cut a window using a spellbinders die. I distressed the inside of the window.
I used Nina Brackett's Vintage borders with distress ink on the card also softening the edges of the card and window with it on a sponge.I sewed the tree's under the window and added buttons and a plaid ribbon.The Merry Christmas is a sticker I had.
I hope you enjoy it and maybe you will get out some Christmas stamps in July!

New Rasin Boat cards

I have not posted in a while I have been busy with wedding gown alterations and my Daughters graduation.

I would like to share some cards I have done using Raisin Boat stamps.

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.
