Celebrating Spring with Watercolors and Butterflies

Today's card is another card from my downline meeting this week that taught the watercolor wash and splatter technique!  This was modeled after a card I did with Erica Cerwin during one of her online classes.  It was really fun to teach at the meeting and I think the results were awesome!


Supplies

  • Cardstock: Night of Navy, Very Vanilla, Watercolor Paper
  • Ink: Night of Navy
  • Stamp Sets: One Big Meaning
  • Accessories: Big Shot, Cutting Mats and Multi-purpose Platform, Bold Butterfly Framelits, Aquapainters, White Craft Refill, Clear Block, Glue Dots, Rhinestones, Scissors, Big Shot Brush
Notes:
  • I layered the Night of Navy butterfly on the Very Vanilla butterfly so it gave it even more dimension.
  • I had everyone free cut the saying to put on the card and distressed the edges.  This added a little more character to me than a punched image (plus my go to punch and framelit for this size of sentiment are all retiring!)
  • Thank you Erica Cerwin for all the tips and tricks for successful (and stress-free) watercoloring!

Retiring Products 2016

Some of you may have thought I retired considering how long it has been since I did a blog post!  I am still here - just really involved with volunteering and teaching lately and haven't had words left over to put down on my blog! 

During Sale-a-Bration, I had two great women join my team and I'm excited to start having monthly meetings again to offer them ideas and to keep me inspired with their creativity as well!

This is one of the make-n-takes we did at our meeting to capture the essence of the SU! Retired lists as it has retiring colors, designer papers, embellishments, tools, and stamps.  This card was based on a design from Ronda Wade that was a part of her framelit class.  The goal of the make-n-takes at my monthly downline meetings is to show a technique or product that can be adapted easily into a class or personal crafting and this project fit that bill!  Plus it's just cute I think!


Supplies:
  • Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss (retiring), Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Typeset Speciality Designer Paper (retiring)
  • Ink: Blackberry Bliss (retiring)
  • Stamp Set: And Many More (retiring)
  • Accessories: Big Shot, Cutting Mats and Multi-purpose Platform, Decorative Dots TIEF (retiring), Very Vintage Designer Buttons (retiring), Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Scissors, and Adhesive
