Watercolor Wonder Cards - Round 2

I finished another "set" of Watercolor Wonder cards. 

My favorite is this "Love" card.  This idea started over at Rita Wright's blog.  She made a couple really clever cards using this stamp from Countless Sayings I.

 I still love this Hello, Doily stamp.  I must ink it up more often.  I used the sentiment from Regarding Dahlias, the leaves from the Bird Punch and a retired brad with a tissue paper flower.

A simple get well card using Thoughts and Prayers.  I purposely tried to keep these cards very simple, so they would be easy to replicate.  I used markers and the "thumping" technique to color the leaves.

This is Kenna's favorite.  She loves alligators.  Truth be told.  I had to cover a boo-boo, so I went with the alligator from Wild About You.  The speech bubble is from Valentine Defined, both retired, but I was making lemonade out of lemons KWIM?  Anyway, the sentiment is from the coming Sale-A-Bration set, See Ya Later.

Finally, my least favorite.  I struggled with this patterned card both times I used it.  It's very pretty...it doesn't need much help.  Maybe that's my problem, I tried to do too much with it....it's OK.  The sentiment is from Sassy Salutations.  I love this sentiment set!  I had a friend order it during a sale and I thought to myself, "That's kinda neat, maybe I'll get it, too."  I'm sure glad I did...thanks Crys!

So, I may try one more round of these cards.  Maybe inspiration will strike.

BTW - Kenna got her car!  The one we were negotiating the other day.  It's been to the shop, to get a few things tweaked and it's ready to drive next week!  Oh boy!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Stay warm as we prepare for Polar Vortex...round two!

Think Pink....and Lots of it!

I was such a bad blogger last year.  I have a backlog of cards I could post.  Since I'm trying to do some actual work today, I thought I'd share some of those cards I made.  I sent out a lot of Valentine's last year and evidently I was enamored with pink, too.  Here's just a few for now....

 

I believe this one was inspired by a photo in the Stampin' Success magazine from Stampin up!  The background is En Francais.  The sentiments from Fancy Flexible Phrases.

Same with this one.  I gave it to my friend, Pam.  She had shared this ribbon with me.  It uses Valentine Defined, plus Love You Much.

I love this one with the tiny yo-yo's.  They are about 3/4" and I made them with the Clover (Extra Small) Yo-Yo Maker.  The stamps are Fine Flourish along with Wonderful Words.

 

Love using the puffy paint on this little sheep from Pun Fun.

I had fun making this 3-D flower.  Hello Doily and Lots of Thoughts are the stamps.

Now onto some more work....see ya soon, though!
