Technostamper Monday

I am very excited to announce that I am now a part of the fabulous design team for Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Challenge!  Mary Jo has decided to restart her challenge blog, and each Monday there will be a sketch/project posted for you to play along; which you can find HERE.  I also have the blogs of the design team listed on right-hand side of my blog.

Check it out; we have a very fun project for you today:

I used one of my favorite retired stamp sets for this project, Pocket Fun, and water colored the images using Regal Rose, Close to Cocoa, Daffodil Delight and Baja Breeze.  The DSP I used is called Loves Me and is from the retired 2006 winter mini (I admit, I am a DSP hoarder).  Below is my project and a list of what I used to make my card:

Stamps: Pocket Fun

Inks: Basic Black, Stazon, Regal Rose, Close to Cocoa, Daffodil Delight, Baja Breeze.

Papers: Whisper White, Regal Rose, Baja Breeze, Loves Me DSP

Accessories: Big Shot, Hearts a Flutter Framelit Dies, Oval Die, Perfect Polka Dot EF, Flower Punch, Regal Rose and White Brads, Regal Rose Ribbon, Paper Piercing Tool, Dimensionals, Mini-Glue Dots, Watercolor Brush

Gift Card Holder

This week is the MHS Mustang Freshman/Sophomore Football Award Dinner and I made the following gift card holders for our awesome football managers.  Since I had to make several of these, I went with a simple design and just did a base of red/white and used the Scallop Envelope Die for the gift card holder. After I cut the envelope out, I then ran it through my Big Shot using the Lacy Brocade EF.  The most time consuming part was water coloring in the flowers/leaves and then cutting them all out.  But you all know how much I love to watercolor, so I didn't mind that part!  Here's the details:
