Stamp & Camp with Mary Tips & Techniques Tuesday - May 19, 2020 - Watercolor Spritzing


As most of you know I love to watercolor.  I may not be the best but I still think it is a great way to color and show off the stamps. So today I want to show you a great water coloring Technique that does not use an aqua painter.  This one uses the Stampin' Spritzers. It is very easy and comes out great.


I used Stampin' Write Markers to color the stamp and a spritzer to add water. 
Take a look. 



On Thursday we will be making a card using this technique so check back for more fun on There's A Card Thursday.

Stamp & Campe with Mary There's A Card Thursday - May 14, 2020 - 3 x 3 Best Dressed Poppies Card


Today we are making a little gift card.  We will be using those 3 x 3 cards from the Best Dressed Suite in the Jan- June Mini Catalog.  I love those card.  Great to give out to thank folks, you can keep some in your purse or car, they can't be mailed so just stick them in a package as a way to say thanks.



These 3 x 3 can almost go out with nothing on them, but we would not want to do that.  We have too many other things to play with.  So let's decorate up these great little cards with no stamping and some great flowers.
