Stretch Your Stamps – Distress Ink Watercoloring

I’m sharing another card from the Stretch Your Stamps Online Card Class. This is my version of one of the cards created for that class by Jennifer McGuire using the Hero Arts Hearts and Flowers stamp set.

Stretch Your Stamps - Distress Ink Watercoloring

I watercolored the flowers with a combination of Distress Inks. The card background is stamped with the Out of Print stamp. I used Bubble Gum shadow ink on Punch cardstock. I initially tried stamping with Versamark ink, but it barely showed up. Then I tried stamping with the Punch chalk ink, but that was too dark. The Bubble Gum was just right!

Have a fabulous day!

Stretch Your Stamps CASE

As I patiently wait for the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2 to begin (just one week away!), I’m revisiting the materials from previous Online Card Classes, including Stretch Your Stamps. When I took the class last July, I created one of the fabulous cards designed by Cristina Kowalczyk.

Stretch Your Stamps CASE

I would never have considered using an alphabet stamp set to create a pattern on a card! With temperatures rising outside (a rare occurrence here in the Pacific Northwest for this time of year), I’m drawn to the fresh combination of aqua and lime green together. I used one of my favorite sentiments from the Simon Says Square Sayings set.

Happy Monday!

Supplies: Stampin’ Up cardstock (gray)
