Wonderful Wednesday

Weekly Stamp Class

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my Wonderful Wednesday blog today. Every Wednesday I share projects that I am sharing at my weekly stamp class. At class, I focus on a particular stamp set, paper, or coloring tools and accessories. This week, I wanted to highlight the Rose Wonder Stamp set and the Rose Garden Thinlits set. One of the things I love about this stamp set is the variety of ways you can color the images in the stamp set. 

One of the most popular ways to use the Rose Garden Thinlits is to highlight it as the focal point of the card. I used the Petal Burst Embossing folder and the Happy Birthday stamp from the stamp set. Daffodil Delight makes this birthday card happy. The splatter is a stamp out of the Touches of Texture Stamp set. I love that splatter stamp!

When using Stampin' Blends, use the
Memento Ink Pad. Shimmery White CS
works really well with Blends

One thing I'm really liking is creating my own background for my card. This card was so fun to make. I used the leaves and flower from the Rose Wonder Stamp set and then used the most wonderful Stampin' Blends by Stampin' Up. The cardstock colors for this project are Rich Razzleberry and Lemon Lime Twist. I used the Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin' Blends to get the shade of Lemon Lime Twist for the leaves. It worked out great! Can you see the Rhinestones in the center of the flowers?

Be sure to use the Archival Black ink before you
water color. I would suggest Shimmery White CS or
water color paper when you use Aqua Painters

The large rose in the stamp set is beautiful! I used Rose Red for my card base and for water coloring the flower. Old Olive is the color for the leaves. I used Aqua Painters and the stamp pads to water color for this project. A little accent of Washi Tape and Wink of Stella and this card is a Wow!

Today's class projects are great. We focus on one stamp set, but color using two different techniques. It's important to use different coloring techniques because you learn which stamp pads and paper will work best for your coloring choice.
