Stampin' Up! Favorites

Happy Sunday everyone!  I'm on vacation and haven't posted in awhile, so I thought I'd post a new card that will be featured in an upcoming post (when the stamp set becomes available), some samples of work I've done in the past, and something I've never featured before - a scrapbook page.

If you follow me, you know I LOVE to color.  The cards here feature a couple of different mediums.

This adorable Signs of Santa stamp set and die bundle by Stampin' Up!will be offered starting in September.  My sample is colored using Stampin' Blends alcohol markers with an overlay of the watercolor pencils (used without water, of course!). I'll post the techniques used on this card along with a list of the pencils and Stampin' Blends when they become available on September 5.  New colors are coming with the Holiday catalog!  Very exciting!

These cards were created using watercolor pencils and a blender pen. I describe my techniques in these three posts - Watercolor Techniques Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

This Delightful Daisy card uses watercolor pencils, an Aqua Painter and masking techniques to color  the image.

This scrapbook page is something new for me. It was created for my daughter who was a bridesmaid in the wedding of one of her best friends.  I wanted something soft and used the colors from the bridal party on the page.

The coordinating box uses the Window Box Thinlet die and the retired Succulent framelits set.

And my last fun 3-D item is one of my all time favorite card-in-a-box that I've created.  More details on this little skunk in the box are at this post.

Thanks for stopping by today and revisiting some favorite past posts and seeing a few new creations!
