Vivid Vases

photoHello!  Yesterday was a very productive day.  I got a lot of things done in my craft room preparing for next week’s classes as well as figuring out some ideas for the classes after that.  It was good to have a full day not having to go anywhere!

Today’s card is one of the Make-n-Take projects from Leadership Conference.  They always have great projects for us to make.  This one is made with the Vivid Vases stamp (#133818  $11.95).    I know when you first saw the picture you thought “this isn’t a Cindy card…”.  Well, you were right.  It’s definitely not something I’d design myself, but isn’t it cute?

I’m always a little nervous about watercoloring….afraid that I won’t do it right.  Silly me…..the beauty of watercoloring is that you don’t need to stay in the lines!  That is my tip of the day:  You don’t have to stay in the lines when you watercolor…you can of course, but you don’t have to!  🙂

Speaking of coloring….Stampin’ Up! is coming out with a FABULOUS new product for those of you who like to color.  Blendabilities!  They are alcohol-based markers that blend wonderfully.  They will launch sometime during this first quarter of 2013!  Woo Hoo!  I LOVE new products!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
