March Stamper 6 Club

We did a scratch and sniff card with the new Tart & Tangy stamp set and Summer Picnic Designer Series paper from the Occasions Mini Catalogue. My good friend Lesley made fun of me because I suggested we do a second emboss to create more spleckles...

Stamps: Tart & Tangy (Occasions Mini)
Ink: Pumpkin Pie Craft, Versamark
Paper: Whisper White, Old Olive, Summer Picnic Designer Series
Accessories: Koolaid, Old Olive Poly Twill ribbon, 1 3/8 and 1 1/4" circle punches, Clear embossing powder

This card is almost straight out of the Occasions Mini catalogue. But the technique and look was perfect for the group and I thought it was gorgeous so... This stamp set is B-U-tiful!!!! Wish we could have used the other flower in the set today too but... only so much time and stuff to cover! We watercoloured with ink and did lots of grunging. I tried to get a detail shot so you could see the glitter...

Stamps: Bloomin' Beautiful (Occasions Mini)
Ink: Black Stazon, Basic Brown, Bashful Blue, Blue Bayou, Basic Black, Close to Cocoa, True Thyme (retired)
Paper: Confetti White, Kraft, Bashful blue
Accessories: Signo White gel pen, Lt blue gingham ribbon, spiral punch, pretties kit, Dazzling Diamonds, 2-way glue pen, Aqua Painter, water mister

This card I saw similar version somewhere in my internet wanderings. I really loved how the window had the same image stamped on it and knew Lesley would love it! We also edged the ribbon in colour to customize it. Here we placed the crayons onto the paper and spread with the Aqua Painter.

Stamps: A Little bit of Happiness (Hostess)
Ink: Black Stazon
Paper: Garden Green, Whisper White, acetate
Accessories: White grosgrain ribbon, Aqua Painter, scotch tape, Watercolour Wonder Crayons Rich Regals

This card was everyone favourite because it is so easy and fast, yet it looks so great in the end. We painted the watercolour right onto the stamp, misted and pressed into the watercolour paper. We flicked and sponged to grunge it up. I think this is one of the most versatile stamp sets. Love it!!!!

Stamps: Live Your Dream (Occasions Mini)
Ink: Basic Brown
Paper: Watercolour paper, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: White grosgrain ribbon, Aqua Painter, water mister, Watercolour Wonder Crayons Earth Elements, Bronze Brads
