Three Cards from a Stack Party

Pedaling Past


This set, Pedaling Past, is from the SU Summer Mini Catalogue. I love this set and it was one of the first I bought from this mini. I think it is very versatile and can be used for a variety of occasions.

The image is stamped on Watercolour Paper and then coloured in with ink and an aquapainter or blender pen. I find that the blender pen gives more of a marker-like effect to the image whereas with an aquapainter it works more like a paintbrush. Also, with an aquapainter, because it feels more like a paintbrush, you seem to have less control and might go over the lines. So I guess it depends on what kind of look you want.

Supplies:

Stamps: Pedaling Past, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Taken With Teal (retired), Pumpkin Pie, Watercolour Paper, Sweet Pea DSP (retired)
Ink: Taken With Teal, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Black Stazon
Accessories: Dimensionals, Orange Eyelets, Crop-o-dile, Corner Rounder Punch

4.25 x 5.5 card

Itty Bitty Bits



The only thing fussy about this card is gluing on the Itty Bitty Bits. Other than that, this is another pretty quick card. Please note that the Turquoise card stock was place only partially in the folder to emboss about 2/3's of it.

Supplies:

Stamps: Itty Bitty Bits, A Little Birthday Cheer
Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Basic Black
