Water coloring Shamrock

Good afternoon - second post from me today using Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps new release, staying with the St Patrick's Day theme I decided to have a go at water coloring with my new pencils

I stamped Shamrock Swag onto my watercolor card and colored it with pencils before adding water to blend the colors out. I then colored the edges of the card before stamping the St Patrick's Day sentiment from the Prickley Pear Spring and Easter Banner stamp set. I used green card and a leaf patterned design paper to mat my card before adding my image matted with same card. I few enamel dots take away the dead space around the image.

Thank you for stopping by, to see all the new release stamps head on over to the new release section of the Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps website - don't forget the offers:

You can find more inspiration from me and my teamies on the Prickley Pear blog and their Facebook page.

So Suzy Stamp's cute little snow girls

Good afternoon from a sunny (YES SUNNY and above freezing) Michigan!

The weather took a turn for the better at the weekend, the snow is finally receding and spring is finally on it's way!!

 

I have some news to share - So Suzy is having a Design Team call - so if you want to join a happy bunch of crafters - who are just a little bit crazy then you can apply here

Onto today's make - I have show cased one of the March release stamps
 

 

This is Waving Snow Girl I have stamped her onto watercolour card and colored her using my Derwent water color pencils. The card was cut on my cameo using a cutting file from A Winter Walk in the country side cd and matted with some snowflake paper. I have then used some silver thread, a gem and metal corner from my stash.

Just a sweet little card which seemed appropriate given the amount of snow we have had in my part of the world recently!

 

Before I leave you I just want to remind you that So Suzy Stamps can be found on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. We also have a facebook group where you can enter the challenge if you don't have a blog.
