Cards using Faux Watercoloring (Art Impressions Watercoloring)

 Having fun using a cute outline envelope rubber stamp,  watercolor paper, water-base markers, other stamps from my stash.  I had no plan but to just play using the Art Impressions watercolor technique. 
 I liked what I came up with so I thought I would make them into cards.

Scrappy Quilting

 Little by little I have been trying to use up my left over scraps.  Looking at Pinterest for some ideas on how to proceed with a scrappy quilt.  With so many wonderful ideas, I decided to  sew up my scraps lager enough to cut out a 5 inch squares, using an acrylic ruler.

Cards Using Crate Paper "Style Board"

Image
A few cards made using a cute pattern papers from Crate Paper 6 x 6 paper pad called "Style Board".  A very simple and quick card layout. I pulled out several sheets of paper from the paper pad and looked through my ribbon box and sticker/embellishment stash to see what would go well with the papers. These cute little bird in a bird cage stickers?  An oldie by Jolee's Boutique called "Vintage Bird Cages" #50-20363.   "Many thanks" sentiment is a sticker and not a stamp.  I have had this cute birthday die cut for a long while and I was happy to have finally used it. "Free Spirit" is a chipboard piece by an old K&Company called "Dear Olivia". Fussy cut out flowers from the collection  I also used some Tim Holtz idea-ology stickers from the "quotations" packet.
