Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

     I was finally able to create a wonderful Valentine Card... well... I made it for a Valentine Card but it could really be anything you wanted it to be! I used the Dear Doily stamp set so the inside says Words Can't Express How Much You Mean To Me so really... that could be used for a number of other occasions.      I found my inspiration for this card on the Demonstrator group for all Stampin' Up! Demos. I love the group as everyone posts such beautiful cards and you get great feed back on your posts 😉      I would love to link you to the card that inspired me but I can't, it is strictly for Demos. But i went to her page and found her card! Her card is much different but it was what helped me find my inspiration to do this one so I like to give credit where credit is due!       I like to post where I get my ideas from as I am a CASEr so if I get inspired by it, so might you, and you might even just like mine 😊 ...

     I am having so much fun now that I have learned how to water color a little! I saw a couple different techniques on a YouTube video on adding different things to your water when you water color, like salt and bleach. I used salt on this card and it looks pretty cool. The colors are a bit dark but I don't think it looks too bad!       I did this one for a friend to give to her Grand Daughter for Valentine's Day! She loves the Party Pandas Set and wanted some sparkle... So this is what I came up with and she was very happy with it! It is dark but it looks very nice.      I will venture off to some different colors one of these days, my daughter would like to see it in blues and greens so maybe I will do something like that next 😉 I find myself grabbing my Party Pandas set for almost everything lately, it is just too adorable!      I have done 3 water color cards so far and they all pretty much have the same layout becaus...

     I have been having fun with water coloring! I had never done it before and I came across a card on Pinterest and absolutely loved it! I wanted to give it a try and that I did!  I am also doing a Mail A Card Monday challenge and knew exactly who I wanted to send it to... if it turned out!      I did a couple tries and used the second try as the background, the first I used to cut all my pieces out... worked out perfectly 😉 I was really pleased with how it turned out, granted it looks pretty much exactly like the one I cased but I still did it and it looked GOOD!      After loving the first watorcolor card I had done, I wanted to try another with some different colors. I did use the same colors as the last card but added another, Sweet Sugarplum. They are the 2016-2018 Stampin' Up! in colors. I will have to be sure to stock up on my favorites!      I pretty much did it in the same way as the cased card above,...
