The music sheet background is a little washed out in this photo.  It looks better IRL. I'm sorry, but I can't remember where I got the idea for this card. She had a great video on sponging ink on the Music Sheet background and stamping it to create a nice soft background.  It almost looks like you stamped on an actual sheet of music.

New Catalog Open House - Just Breathe

We had so much fun creating this card at my New Catalog Open House on Mon. 6/5/2017.  I saw this card by Mary Brown when Stampin'Up Only (SUO) had their Watercoloring Challenge #174. I just had to try it!  I had wanted to play around with the technique using an acrylic block to water color and I thought this was the perfect opportunity.

Here are the details frmy Mary Brown's blog –

• Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
• Color Theory dsp stack – two pieces – one 1 1/4 x 4 1/4 and the other 1/2 x 4 1/4 (my second piece was 3/4 x 4-1/4); add to card front
• Whisper White – 3 1/2 x 4 1/4, ink acrylic block using Crumb Cake, Marina Mist and Soft Sky, spritzer and stamp onto paper – hold down allowing the ink to spread; let dry
• Stamp frame of chair in Soft Suede and seat in Dapper Denim; stamp breathe in Dapper Denim and just in Soft Suede; add to card front just dimensionals
• Add some glitter enamel dots to finish off
  (we substituted retired Candy Dots)

Set(s):	Colorful Seasons
Paper:	Whisper White, Color Theory dsp Paper Stack
Ink:	Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Dapper Denim, Marina Mist, Soft Sky
Other:	Glitter Enamel Dots (or Candy Dots, retired), Dimensionals

Happy Stamping!  Mary

Birthday Stand Up Easel Treat Box of Cards Stamp Camp

We had so much fun creating these cards. I was a little bummed that no one wantted to make the card holder.  I thought it was so cute.I changed the dimensions slightly so you could create it out of 8.5" x 11" cs instead of 12" x 12" cs. Here are the original directions by Janet Wakeland
