Scene in a Garden by Stampin' Up! Take One

Well, Viva Vienna was even more fun this year than it was last!  It was good to see familiar faces and I was next to a couple of girlfriends so that made the days go by easily.  I sold quite a few handstamped cards and other handmade items that I'd been feverishly working on for the past several weeks.  (That's why I haven't posted much, I'm sure you understand!) I'm going to be posting some here and some on my facebook page this week and next so be sure to check both places.  Tonight this blog is getting the post!

I went to visit my folks a couple of weeks ago and Mom and I stamped and played with Stampin Up's award winning Watercolor Wonder Crayons.  I love these crayons!  They are my favorite medium to watercolor with.  They blend so easily and the color stays true to all the the colors that Stampin Up offers so the final image always goes with the cardstock.  No guessing involved!  How cool is that? This is just one of the cards that were designed that day. 

 

Stamp sets:  Scene in a Garden #113246, $21.95, pg. 7 in the Occasions Mini Catalog;  Sincere Salutations #115068, $23.95, pg.135 in the 2009 Spring Summer Idea Book and Catalog

Cardstock used:  Baha Breeze, Basic Black, Stampin Up's Watercolor Paper

Ink:  Stazon Jet Black

Accessories:  Stampin Up's Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Aquapainter, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch
