Sue started with a linen-stamped background with spring blossoms stamped in black on top.
We used watercolor pens and blender pens to make the blossoms in many colors.
We distressed the edges of the stamped panel to coordinating border panels
to make an attractive and seasonal card.
Carol designed a card with a negative die cut for the clouds in the blue sky. A die-cut hello, some flowers and a perky bird set the mood for a spring greeting note card,
Bonnie was inspired by a rainbow background and purple heat embossing powder to
design this lavender beauty. We heat embossed the flowers first and then daubed
many colors of ink on the background. Some dry embossed the floral design with
a coordinating embossing folder for a unique look.
My design was simple and clean--except for the paint splotches!
Using brush stroke stamps with ink pads of different colors we created the
rainbow strokes that ended with coordinating butterflies.
A variety of sentiments and our own individual styles
in assembling the kits and trying the new techniques and materials
allowed us to fill the basket of cards for sale and for use by Outreach Committee
with delightful and artistic note cards,
And we had a great time working and chatting together, as always!
