The new Beautiful You stamp set that you’ll be able to find in Stampin’ Up!’s new Occasions Catalog starting tomorrow just called to me. I don’t know why. It’s not the usual type of stamp set that catches my eye. I think that part of the reason I’m drawn to are the sayings. Especially the one I used on this card. Live, Laugh, Love is kind of my mantra.
The figure I used on this card is my favorite of the three different ones in the stamp set so I set out to design a card using it and my favorite saying from the set. This is what I came up with. A very simple design which I water colored.
I started with Shimmery White card stock, ink pads and my Aquapainter. At first I tried coloring the image with my new Watercolor Pencils but as I mentioned yesterday I just haven’t quite mastered them yet.
Instead of inking the sentiment with both a black marker and a Bermuda Bay marker I first inked the stamp in the Bermuda Bay ink pad and then I used my black marker right over the Bermuda Bay ink.
I can’t wait to share the new Occasions Catalog with you tomorrow! Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping
