Breezy Watercolor Palette O'Prints

I did this card for a technique challenge on SCS and I used this layout by Beate. This technique was a lot of fun to do. What you do is you color you stamp with stampin' write markers and get your natural card stock wet with a spray bottle. Stamp your image on the wet CS and the color will flow outward creating a watercolor effect. Once the CS has dried you can stamp the same image again using a darker color (I used Close to Cocoa) or you can use your stampin' write markers again and you will have the solid image with a faded back ground.

Supplies:

Stamp Sets: Balmy Breezes, Everyday Flexible Phrases

Paper: Perfect Plum, Always Artichoke, So Saffron, Naturals Ivory, Palette O'Prints

Ink: Close to Cocoa, Always Artichoke Stampin' Write Marker, So Saffron Stampin' Write Marker

Accessories: Silver Brads, Word Window Punch, 1/4" circle punch

Palette O'Prints All Wrapped Up

I made this card for a SCS challenge. I combined today's challenge with yesterday's challenge. Yesterday's, was to do the technique crayon resist, and today's color challenge was to use Certainly Celery, Old Olive, and Vintage Violette (or Elegant Eggplant if you don't have VV). So to do crayon resist, what you do is stamp your image in Stazon on Glossy White Card stock. When your image has dried you can take a white crayon or candle (something that is waxy and will resist ink) and write where you want high lights. Then sponge over your image with ink. This is a really Fun technique!

Supplies:

Stamp Sets: All Wrapped Up

Paper: Palette O'Prints, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant, Glossy White

Ink: Stazon Timber Brown, Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant

Accessories: paper piercer, mat pack, white grosgrain ribbon, white crayon, stampin' dimensionals

Butterfly Palette O'Prints

I had a crazy day Saturday, you all know how it goes! I had tons of projects to do around the house. I made some Strawberry Jam, Yummy! I cleaned up my craft room to make room for a futon that was given to us, so now it is in and all ready for my sister to come and visit! I also did the general pick up around the house. I went running too, Oh how I feel so much better after I run. I didn't get any stamping done yesterday, gasp!! So anyway I was playing around this morning with Bold Butterfly stamp set and the Palette O'Prints paper. So can you find the paper? Yep, the circles in the back ground are punch out of the POP paper and trimmed so it looks like it continues off the paper. I stamped the butterflies and flowers on glossy white card stock, hence the glare in the middle of the card. For the sentiment I omitted some of the phrase, by just inking up the last part, so it would just say "happy for you".

Supplies:

Stamp Sets: Bold Butterfly, Quick Thinking

Paper: Mellow Moss, So Saffron, Glossy White, Palette O'Prints

Ink: Mellow Moss, So Saffron, Close to Cocoa

Accessories: 3/4" Circle Punch

Aloha Palette O' Prints

This is a quick card I put together using the Palette O'Prints paper and one of my most favorite Stamp sets Do the Hula! It took me less than 15 minutes to do. I was rummaging through my scraps to create a 3 1/2 square card. I inked up my surfboard in Lovely Lilac and stamp it on the Almost Amethyst Palette O'Prints Flower Paper and cut it out. To make the flowers white I used my White Signo Gel Pen and colored them in to make them stand out.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Do the Hula

Ink: Lovely Lilac, Almost Amethyst

Paper: Palette O'Prints, Lovely Lilac, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White

Accessories: White Grosgrain, Stampin' Dimensionals, White Signo Gel Pen

Palette O'Prints!

So I thought I would try making a card everyday using the Palette O'Prints Paper and one of Stampin' Up!'s Retiring Sets in honor of the Palette O'Prints Promotion, that runs till the end of this month. I just got the paper on Monday, it is Sooo Beautiful! Along with my Palette O'Prints Paper came my Coluzzle, so I had to try it out, Right! I also found my unopened Shimmery card stock, it is really pretty in real life. The picture doesn't do it justice. To get the woman's printed dress I stamped the image on the Palette O'Prints paper and just cut out the dress and glued it where it belonged. Stay Tuned!
