Rubber Thunder

Mindy Eggen did a tutorial on her you tube channel of a watercolor background and stencil technique. I found some watercolor pieces in my stash and tried it.  You basically watercolor a background and let it dry. Then use an embossing folder and stencil to color it in.

Supplies Used: Flower Field die and stencil from Kristina Werner for Concord and 9th OLO markers Background dies & greetings from Taylored Expressions

 I offered to make baby cards at the schoolhouse I work at- and there has to be room for 35 people to sign them.  For these cards, I used a full sheet of cardstock, folded in half, as the card base. (Found these envelopes here on Amazon.). The design was inspired by Carissa Wiley (Sprinkled with Glitter on YouTube). The gold circle frames were cut with Kristina Werner's Circle Frame Dies.  So much easier than taping layers together like I did for the rectangles on the blue cards. Supplies Used: Little Star Stamps/Dies by Kristina Werner for Concord and 9th Loopy and Striped Embossing folders by Spellbinders Inks by Concord and 9th (Wildberry, Pink Lemonade and Harbor, Blueberry)

  I ink blended first with Hero Arts Reactive Inks, misted with water, then sprayed Gina K gold spray which makes it shine like very fine glitter paper. The stems are stenciled with green lunar paste. This beauty was ink blended with Concord and 9th inks:  Fig, Cranberry, Clementine, Sunflower, and Briar Rose.
