Birthday....From the Herd!

Back at the catty reveal this stamp set was by far the Biggest Hit!  So many cute sentiments and the herd is adorable!!  You can color, not color, add party favors or not.  I chose to color this card with some of my new Blendabilities.  I cut and flagged the Sentiments and then edged them with the new Yellow Citrus Chalk ink which blends well with the Hello Honey mat.  Early Expresso was used for the Animals outline and Sentiments. 

You can order this stamp set and more starting January 6th!!  Spend $50 and earn a FREE Sale-a-bration item.

Water Lily

Ok last day of coloring I promise!  I love Powell Gardens and so many of their water lilies have made it in my photos over the years.  So when this stamp appeared in the mini catalog I had to have it.  And od course it is perfect to color with the Blendabilities.  Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive are perfect for this project.  The Modern Label punch can crop off the sentiment and allow for other choices.  But this sentiment is perfect for "People Like You" , my friends and customers!

I used the Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities, Old Olive and a bit of Daffoldil Delight to color the water lily.  I punched the sentiment with the Decorative Label punch, then snipped out the lily.  The Perfect Plum card stock was embossed with the Wildflower embossing folder.  I then popped up the lily next to the sentiment.  Love this stamp and it is available in the Occassions catalog until May 31st.

 

Check out the rest of the GREAT coloring stamps on pages 20,21 and 22 of the Mini catalog.  And the Water color notecards are a must have, available until May 31st!

Blended Fish Bowl

This single stamp has been a favorite of mine and a Convention Swap last year.  I wanted to get it inky one more time and try out the Blendabilities.  I had to use a few regular markers for the chest and sand, but Coastal Cabana and Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities do the bulk of the coloring.  I used the color lifter to make the water more realistic.  This Color lifter is amazing!  Use it while your inks are fresh and you can magically erase some of the color.  A learning curve but so much fun to play with these new toys!  I checked the Retired list and this stamp is SOLD OUT!  Sorry, it was available when I colored!  This stamp will be on my Retired table sale June 1st.  Mark your calendar and attend this sale.  1-4 pm Sunday June 1st.  Pick up your new catty!!
