Watercolored Critter Trio - SRM Stickers

Hello there, SRM Stickers friends!

I'm up on the SRM Stickers Blog today's with a post dedicated to all things SPRING!

I created a quick trio of mini spring-themed cards that are all decked out in watercolor!

The Jane's Doodles Clear Stamp/Garden Friends has the cutest little animal images and sweet sentiments to create mini greeting cards in a snap!

To create these cuties, I simply stamped each animal image on watercolor paper with Versamark ink, heat embossed with white embossing powder, and painted on some diluted distress inks.  After drying, I added a simple sentiment tag and wee little bows tied from The Twinery's Solid Peapod, Solid Denim and Solid Pink Sorbet Twine Spools.

I stacked the mini set of spring-themed cards up and tucked them inside of a Kraft Bag - 4x6 Embossed Chevron...ready for gift giving!

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage today!

Life is Good with SRM Stickers

Hey there, stamping friends!

I'm up on the SRM Stickers Blog today with my take on the new Easy Chalkboard Marker!

I stamped the jar from the Jane's Doodles Clear Stamp/Life is Good set over a piece of vellum and asked my new stamping buddy, Heather Campbell, to color in those yummy strawberries.  Thank you, Heather!  The jar, sentiment and berries were adhered over the chalkboard background and topped off with a super cute Reverse Confetti banner.

I had so much fun playing with the new Easy Chalkboard Marker at a fun stamping event this past weekend!  A lucky stamping friend got to win this awesome group of SRM Stickers goodies! 

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

SRM Stickers - Oh, Happy Day!

Hello, SRM Stickers friends!

I'm up on the SRM Stickers Blog today with a watercolored take on the new stamp line, Jane's Doodles, at SRM Stickers!

I stamped the fabulously detailed owl from Jane's Doodles Clear Stamp/Wise Owl with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with black embossing powder.  I watercolored the owl and background with yellow, orange and green diluted distress inks and let dry.  

The fun part of watercoloring is it allows you to get a little messy, er, artsy!  I diluted the distress inks more or less, creating different shades on the owl scene.  

I added a couple of wiggly eyes and Stickers by the Dozen/Birthday Birdie across the top of the focal panel.  There's a peek of one of the Gold Lace Doilies - 4" Round to add some shine.

I hope you are inspired to add some watercoloring to your stamped and embossed images for an artsy look, too!

Thanks for stopping by the stage!
