Be it cupcakes or teddies either will make you feel loved!
The base card is white cards tock stock with a layer of yellow dotted card stock.
On watercolor paper I stamped the image from Colorado Craft company “Well Loved” and watercolored it with watercolor pencils.

sweetest…


Using some of these colors and the wonderful coordinating dies from Colorado Craft Company “So Sweet Slimline” I came up with a fun birthday card.
The base card is white cards tock.
Using a background on watercolor paper that I had made to look like bricks and black cards tock stock I die cut the squares with My Favorite things “Stitched Square STAX” dies.
On more water colored paper I stamped the image, watercolored it with watercolor pencils and when dry I die cut it to foam tape to the card front.
From the same set I stamped the sentiment.


candy mice…


Grey, yellow and brown are my chosen colors for this challenge…with black and white!
The base card is grey checked card stock.
On watercolor paper I stamped the images from Colorado Craft Company “So Sweet Slimline”, water colored them with watercolor pencils and cut them out with the coordinating dies.
After applying them to the card front I stamped the sentiment from the same set.


coffee flowers…


Sitting in my craft room wondering what it would be like to use a coffee pot for wildflowers…then what would happen if there was coffee in it and the flowers sucked up the brew.
The base card is white card stock.
The pot is made from a Colorado Craft Company Anita Jeram image stamped, water colored, die cut and craft knifed out.
The flowers are watercolor paper die cut with Tim Holtz “Flower Field”, water colored with Distress Oxide ink.
The sentiment from Sweet and Sassy “Coffee Talk Two” was stamped with the same ink.


view…


I am lucky enough to have purchased dies to go with some of mu Anita Jeram illustrations by Colorado Craft Company.
That allowed me to stamp the images on water colored paper and then die cut them before gluing them to make it look more 3D.
Using a Tim Holtz “Tapestry” embossing folder with cream card stock I created the “wallpaper” by gently rubbing the embossed piece with Distress Oxide rusty hinge ink.
This I attached to a rust colored base card.
