Watercolors

-
Dawn McVey has a great tutorial on watercoloring with your ink pads. I wanted to play, but don't have great, open stamp image to play with. So I picked a scrap piece of embossed circles paper on my desk and tried it out.

I liked how it turned out, so I adhered the scrap to a base, stamped a sentiment, and called it a night. I love quick projects!

Thanks for looking!

  3. Hi Kelly - lovely card! Cool idea to try it on embossing - now I want to try that too!

    I saw your post on my blog about your Aunt and Uncle living in Glen Ellyn - it is a small world! I am going to try and remember to ask my parents (Clark and Jackie Hoyt) if they know them. I graduated from 8th grade at St. Petronille and then we moved out to Seattle that summer - 1980. My Dad had worked for Sears in the Sears Tower in Downtown Chicago but our family moved back here to be with both sets of their parents as they were aging.
