Hello Stampers!  I am back with another card using the BetterPress system.  I wish the pictures would show the impression this system makes when you run it through your die cut machine.  For this card I ran the bird plate through the BetterPress in black ink.  This time I decided to use watercolor pencils instead of watercoloring with ink pads.  I used a combination of watercolor pencils from different companies in order to find the colors I wanted.  After I watercolored the image I die cut it with the Spellbinders diamond die, and also die cut a black mat for the focal image.  This just fit onto the A2 card base that I ran through with a card front die.  To finish the card I added a sentiment.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!!  It is Sunday and it is time for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  I selected this card as inspiration for my card:

To make my card I started by creating my floral image and sentiment with the Spellbinders BetterPress System!  I don't usually jump on board to new products so quickly, but after watching some YouTube videos I thought I should try this out.  I'm glad I did.  My pictures don't do this image justice.  The texture that is created is amazing.  To color in the image I was not able to use my trusty Copic markers, because the ink is an oil based ink.  So I watercolored the image...not my strong suit.  I'll keep practicing.  After the image was done I trimmed off the sides of the focal panel, and added a black mat.  To finish the card I adhered the focal panel to the card base and added some sequins.

That's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  Today is the Featured Stamper challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  The Featured Stamper is Tammy.  And this is the card I chose from her gallery as inspiration for my card.

For my card I started with a square card base in pool party cardstock.  Then I cut the focal panel in white and embellished it with some May Arts twine, and the leaf and sentiment die cuts.  I matted this with some Kraft cardstock and adhered it to the card base.  And that completed my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  School's out for summer!! :) Here is a card I made for my dad for Father's Day.  To make the card I cut a white panel and die cut a circle out of it.  I stamped the background and adhered it to the card base behind the circle.  Next I added the twine and popped this panel onto the card base.  To finish the card I stamped and cut out the plane, and stamped and die cut the sentiment.  I adhered both of these to the card. 

That's all for now!   Thanks so much for stopping by!
