Lobster Card

Welcome to Wednesday! I thought I'd show you the rest of my hostess club projects from last month. :D

The background is plastic wrap - I really do enjoy doing monochromatic cards! - inked in Marina Mist and pounced onto Marina Mist. :)

We stamped and embossed the lobster with Whisper White, then tore him out and put him on a piece of Whisper White, which we tore out and sponged around the edges with more Marina Mist. :)

I think it's a fun, quick birthday card! It looks ice-watery, like where a cold-water lobster belongs. :D

OK, I'm outta here! Have a WONDERFUL day! Be sure and make the time to STAMP something!!!

Two more cards from the Seasonal Quick Card Class!

Ahhhh, the power of a monochromatic card. :) This card is all Whisper White, with brushed gold/gold embossing. Isn't it beautiful? I was inspired by another demonstrator, who did several cards with this color scheme and set. I REALLY like this card!

It's HOLY TRIPTYCH. The standard Stampin' Around wheel is BAROQUE BORDER. The "noel" is from MANY MERRY MESSAGES. Stamp, emboss, and punch. :D That's all there is to this one!

This one's pretty much the same, but with Brilliant Blue and silver. the jumbo Stampin' Around wheel is, appropriately, called SNOW. :D The stamp is from a Level 1 Hostess set, PUNCHES THREE. That's the square scallop punch - new with this Idea Book & Catalog, and SO cool!!!. That is ALL there is to this card. SOOOOOO super simple!!!!

You REALLY do want to try out some of these color combos for next year, if you've already got your cards done for this year. If you HAVEN'T, it's not too late! CONTACT ME for supply information, or go to MY WEBSITE and hit the SHOP NOW button to get them all for yourself!!! :) For PETE'S SAKE, would you please stamp something and let me know it?!?!? :D

Another watercoloring class card

Good afternoon, everyone! I wanted to show another card that I showed the girls how to do. It's REALLY subtle, and may be difficult to see in the scan - I think you can see it better if you click on it, kinda :D - but all I did was stamp the image - from SUMMER BY THE SEA, which is now retired :(.

Then, taking my aqua painter, I pulled in the green ink from the stamped image to color in her dress, and a bit on the grass. It makes a beautiful monochromatic card, don't you think?

I've gotten the suggestion that I should do a tutorial on watercoloring. That's quite possible - once this month is over. :D My sister and five of the six kids have been here for a week, and with the show opening two weeks from Thursday - besides stampin', of course! - well, life is a bit BUSY. :D I will do another tutorial soon, I promise.

So, what are YOU stamping? Have you tried anything you've seen on this blog lately? I've been trying to keep it simple, with lots of color suggestions - most of these are super-simple things you can do, too! :)

BLESS someone with what you stamp - and please, for your sanity :D, take the time to STAMP something!!!
