Masculine Monday!

Masculine Monday!!

Have a special guy in your life...but he's not really sentimental?

Are you a crazy coffee lover?

I have the PERFECT Valentine for you!!

I love love love this!  haha   

I got to use the Skinny Minnie Alphabet set, plus the splotches were from the very first My Paper Pumpkin set (seriously!) and the "coffee rings" are actually just an embellishment lid dipped in Crumb Cake ink.

Then I used my Aqua Painter to smear the words (Early Espresso) and the images.

I have to admit, I saw this on a poster...and what I put on the inside of the card was just below the word coffee on the canvas;

HAHAHA!  Don't you just love it!?

(also:  I wish I had better handwriting!)

Watercolor Stampin!!

Hello happy Stamper!!

Are you ready for a fun little technique on this quiet Tuesday?

Watercolor Stampin!

 + + +  =

I adore this card!  Not gonna lie!

So all you need to do is this:

Use an Aqua Painter (or paint brush) add a thin layer of water onto the Watercolor Paper

Stamp your image in our Classic Ink

*it will blur!

Then you can use your aqua painter to move some of the ink away from the image to blur it even more!

For the hills, I just dipped my Aqua Painter right into a puddle of Coastal Cabana Ink and painted it on there free hand.  

I just adore watercoloring!!

To get the greeting, you'll need to earn the Simply Wonderful Stamp set....

purchase all the supplies I used in this card and Viola!!  $50 Sale-a-bration set earned!!

Wanna see some more?  Check out what my friends over at SSInkspirations came up with!!

have some water coloring you want to share?

head over to SSInkspiration on FB and share your ideas!
