2's-Day Tuesday March 31

Hello friends!  Hope you are all well and staying safe.  Today's cards were made with a Penny Black stamp called Springtime Sigh. from 7 Kids Stamp Store.  I used Karin Watercolor markers.  It was my first time using them along with water and a paintbrush.  I still have a lot to learn but I think they turned out alright!

I stamped the image on 140# watercolor paper using stazon ink.  Using the paintbrush I would wet a small section of the image.  Then I would add color with the Karin Watercolor markers and move that color with a wet paintbrush.

For this card I stamped the image along the side and bottom of the card.  Used the same method to paint the image.  The words were cut from a die.  I will be back next week.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs and smiles,

Janice

Stampin' Up

I am a Stampin Up demonstrator. I love to make cards and learn new techniques. One day I googled paper crafts (I love Google) and came upon the Papercrafts website. After months of reading the message board and looking through the gallery I decided to join the message board. Everyone there was very welcoming and eager to share. One day one of the gals said I should join some swaps. I had no clue as to what a swap was, an ATC, a specific technique......Eventually I did join a swap and then I was hooked. Receiving swaps in the mail is so much fun and I have learned so much. I never knew there were so many ways to create such beautiful cards. I have been stamping for about 1 and1/2 years, but joined SU in March 2008. I really love the quality of their products and their cardstock is the best, not flimsy like some cheaper brands. Their inks, papers, ribbons match perfectly and their stamps are fabulous. I have a SU website,

http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/stampinwithjanice, which is new also. I do have a few of my projects at that website if you would like to take a peek. That site is strictly for current SU products so I will post other things I make here, because there are just so many other stamps that I enjoy as well. I hope you will visit my blog and be patient while I learn my way. I hope we can learn from each other and share things along the way. Thanks for stopping by.
