WWC308 – Tristan\’s Challenge: All About Occasions

February 10, 2021 Karen Brown2 Comments

Hello and welcome! We are making \”Occasion\” cards this week at Watercooler Wednesday and Tristan is our hostess.

I created a simple silhouette card using Altenew\’s just released Tall Foliage set. I masked the edges of my slimline panel and then ink blended my background. After the panel was completely dry I black heat embossed this pretty sketchy flower. This is a pretty card that was fairly quick to make.

We would love to see your card in our GALLERY.

Thanks for stopping by!

WWC271 – Kath\’s Challenge: All About Occasions

May 13, 2020 Karen Brown8 Comments

Hello and welcome! This week we are making occasion cards at Watercooler Wednesday and Kath is our hostess. My mother-in-law has been in \”lock down\” at her senior living facility and we have been unable to visit her. I made this card to try and brighten her day.

I\’ve always loved cacti and thought this was a cheery little stamp set. This is my first time to use it. I also used a new sentiment that I think will be very versatile in the future. I stamped and Copic colored this foursome.

Supplies:

Fiskars \”Stuck on Each Other\” stamps

Copic Markers

The Greetery Crimped Frame Die

Waffle Flower \”Here For You\” sentiment

I am playing along at Krafty Chicks \”Stamp Act\” Challenge,

WWC236 – Heidi\’s "All About Occasions" Challenge

August 28, 2019 Karen Brown3 Comments

Hello and welcome! This week is all about occasions at Watercooler Wednesday. Holidays, Birthdays, Weddings, Anniversary, Sympathy, Thank You, Congratulations….your choice. Heidi is our hostess.

I white heat embossed a bunch of random botanical images and then ink blended over the embossing. In person, the blending looks the same color but when I photographed the card, the light played off potions of the card.

I used three inks: Distress Shaded Lilac, Dare2B Artzy Blue Sky and SSS Steel Blue. I finished off the cards with a few sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!

May 29, 2019 Karen Brown1 Comment

Hello there! So glad you stopped by. Today is Watercooler Wednesday\’s Special Absolutely Anything Goes Challenge. Dawn is our hostess this week.

I needed some Thinking of You cards so I looked through my stamps to find floral images I thought would blend together. I used stamps from 6 stamp sets:

WPlus9 Doodle Buds
Photo Play Thinking of You
Create a Smile In Bloom
SSS Hello Friends
Ink Blot Shop This and That
Hero Arts Year Round Sentiments

I stamped a random pattern on Xpress It paper with Memento ink. I colored with Copic markers:

V01
YG25
YG17
Y21
Y17

I really like this color combination and will use it again. I added some Pretty Pink Posh Buttercream jewels.
