Soft Seedlings
The second technique we worked with on Thursday, I called Watercolor Pencils With Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for want of a better name. I found this card on a site I follow, Flowerbug's Ink Spot, and thought it would be great for Technique/Stamp Club. While many of the things we do at Technique/Stamp aren't actually techniques, they do show how to use the products in new and different ways.

The Soft Seedlings stamp set is one of the DistINKtive stamp sets, which means that the shading is built right into the stamp. We colored in the open spaces and traced the veins in the leaves with a watercolor pencil and then blended them together with Wink of Stella. The photos do not do the card justice. It is way prettier in real life. I then colored some Basic Rhinestone Jewels with a Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blend so that they had a greenish cast to them. And what better thing to use for a card base than the FREE Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards and Envelopes that is one of the Sale-a-Bration selections. You get 20 card bases and matching envelopes . . . a great deal.

Today is going to be another on-the-go day. As soon as I am done posting this I am out the door to meet a friend and wander around the Kalona Farmer's Market this morning. This afternoon I am headed back out to the campground to spend the afternoon with family. I ended up staying for supper last night and didn't get home till late, but it was a great time!! Today I might sit in the shade, however!!
Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!
Happy Stamping!!
