Spring Blossoms by Honey Bee Stamps

Published on by Rowhouse GreetingsLeave a comment

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS! Just finished up another class at Photo Scraps featuring the Spring Blossoms stamps set by Honey Bee Stamps. This set of cards was a lot of fun to design and put together, adding a touch of spring to an all too cold winter.

As some of you know, I’m a frustrated watercolorist, so I’ve been trying to get a watercolor effect using my Copic markers. I blended my colors from light to dark using the side of the brush nib to sweep the color across the petals. I tried to leave some white on each petal to add a highlight and keep the flowers light and airy.

Hope you enjoy the cards!

Below are the supplies I’ve used for today’s project. All items were personally purchased except those marked with an asterisk (*) which were provided by a store or design team. I never share a product I do not like. All opinions are my own. Read more.

Gill Friends and Beach Buds by My Favorite Things

Published on by Rowhouse GreetingsLeave a comment

Good morning friends! I recently finished up another series of classes at Photo Scraps where we created three cards featuring the Gill Friends and Beach Buds stamp sets from My Favorite Things. Supplies are listed below. Lots of good fun as we explored creating a box card as well as stenciling backgrounds and ink blending with Distress Oxides.

Mark your calendars! We just set the dates for my September classes at Photo Scraps. Once again, there will be two dates available: Sunday, September 16th and Thursday, September 20th. I haven’t decided what we’ll be doing yet – maybe some Newton’s Nook or perhaps I’ll pull some House Mouse stamps out of my stash. Who knows?

Stay tuned!
