Wishing You Brighter Days to Come

Hello Everyone! I have a swap card to share with you today!  I love how elegant this one is! I unfortunately am not sure who this one is from, but if it is you, please let me know so that I can give you proper credit!   This card uses the Beautiful You stampset, and I love how the colouring was kept super simple, but is so incredibly effective! Enjoy!

You are a Fabulous Work of Art

Hello! Today I have a swap card to share.  I'm not sure who did this one (I'm sorry!  Leave a comment and I will add your name if you did this!), but I love it! This card did use the stampset, Work of Art, which is discontinued, for the sentiment and the swipes, but Painters Palette would make a great substitute!  And the silhouette is from Beautiful You (which is still available!).  A very simple but effective card! I hope you enjoyed this!

Thanks for Lifting Me Up!

Hello Everyone! I did a quick search, and it doesn't look like I ever shared this card!  I made this card as my swap card for the Stampin' Up! Canadian Business Conference last January. The instructions for the swap that I was a part of were to use the stampset in a significant way.  And I did!  I used the clouds to create my own background, stamped the balloon (and then watercoloured it), and stamped the sentiment.  The Tip Top Taupe (beige) colour is no longer available, but Crumb Cake would make a great substitute! tams# 14889 Product List Bermuda...

Happy Birthday Gorgeous!

Hello Everyone! I'm back with another swap card using the Beautiful You stampset, this time from Diane Inkster. I love Diane's colour combination with this card!  She used the watercolour pencils to colour in the silhouette, and then stamped the coordinating ink (Bermuda Bay) in the water.  Doesn't it look great?  Did you know that you can blend the watercolour pencils with the blender pens or the aquapainter?  The aquapainter will give it more of a opaque watercolour look, but the blender pen will almost deepen the colour and offer a bit more control. I hope you enjoyed this card!...

Happy Birthday

Hello Everyone! I have another swap card today to share.  This one is one that I received at OnStage in Toronto in April and is from Geralyn Skalny. I love that this has such a masculine feel with the Brown & Blue colour combo.  Let's face it, sometimes masculine cards can be hard!  This card features the Swirly Bird stampset that I am finding can easily change the feel of a card with just a different colour combination!  I find a lot of people aren't sure how to use washi, but Geralyn used it to finish off her card by...
