Sadly, my trip to the stamp store yesterday was not very fruitful!! Can you believe I didn't buy a thing?????? Me either! But Emileigh had a nice afternoon with Nana shopping and we had supper at our favourite restaurant. Then I had my Katalogue Kickoff party and the ladies just LOVED the 5 cards we made.......maybe I'll show you one of them!!
Since we were allowed to preorder the Soft Sky Designer Paper, I decided to use it on a card.........I LOVE this colour!! The card base is of course, Soft Sky and I stamped the corner swirly stamp in the bottom left corner in Soft Sky and then added some doodles with my white gel pen. Then I added a strip of the designer paper at the top which is matted on white to help it stand out. Before attaching it to the card, I used my double circle punch at the end and attached a piece of white grosgrain ribbon. The big flower is stamped on Black Stazon on Whisper White and then I had the ladies use the Aquapainters for the first time. We watercoloured using ink in the the lids of the stamp pads.....Soft Sky for the petals and So Saffron for the rest. They really enjoyed the technique! It was super easy but it made such an elegant card.
I am busy preparing for another Katalogue Kickoff Party at my house here on Sunday. I work until 8:30 tonight and 9-5 tomorrow so I hope the ladies are paying more attention to the cards than to the dust in my house!!! Hahahaha!! Have a great weekend everyone!!
