Have you ever been treated to a time that you walk away and say….wow – that was fun! Well this was me yesterday when a friend invited me to lunch and I felt like a queen! As I walked into her beautiful home and saw this incredible setting for the 2 of us to "catch up"…"share some laughs" and just plain catch up while I slipped out of work for lunch!
This card makes me smile as it makes me feel special when I use the Aqua Painters. They truly are one of my favorite and relaxing thing to do with my cards….and while I am not the best at it…I find it rewarding! I am determined to be a "water color wonder" one day!
The Stamp sets that I used was "For the Birds"…I love that darn cute wagon and I "masked off" the sentiment as I was just looking for the wagon image!Whenever you use the Aqua Painters, I highly suggest that you always use the watercolor paper to keep you finished work nice and flat!
Also, always use the Black Staz On Ink….this way when you "watercolor" it will not run! You can always go back and add highlights to your work…( this is a technique that I need to work harder on) but with time….you do become better!
I really wanted to focus on the "thank you" part and I really had a blast and want the message to get across!!! The sentiment came from the Lots of Thanks Stamp Set and I found the center of the paper…stamped with the help of the Stamp-a-ma-jig to get it…"just right"!!!
Polka Dots to me are like seeing balloons – they make me smile and make me happy! As I used the Old Olive in my water coloring….and the color for the thank you's…I thought that this would be perfect….and it is – LOVE IT! This came form the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper!
I know that this card will make my dear friend smile…she makes me smile! Please continue to tell your friends about my blog and have them sign up for my daily postings to inspire you…to make you smile and to make you realize that YOU can do it to!
To order I am a click away and the best thing is that everything will come to your door!!! A big THANKS to YOU for always popping by and supporting my Stampin' Up! Fun!
Until tomorrow…..
Dear Susan – your card sounds beautiful (as always), but I can’t see a picture of the actual card. Is it my computer or did it not post correctly. 🙂
So glad you had some ‘Q’ time with your friend, but how did I miss the pic of the card? It sounds adorable. (just wondering)
Have a great day.
I’m anxious to see the pic of the card also. Sounds cute.
Card sounds like it will be another great inspiration. Glad you got to spend time with your friend. Have an awesome day.
Susan, your card is gorgeous! I can see it fine on my laptop…hope everyone else is able to see it now, too. I have this stamp set and just adore it! Wish I could color like you 🙂 Have a great day!
I LOVE it! Your aqua painting/water coloring is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! I wish I could do water coloring as good as you have! (I know, practice and patience.)
Awww…I KNOW “your friend” WILL LOVE IT! You make me smile!
This card is just to cute, and I’m like you, love the wagon, actually love the whole set:). And the envelope is perfect.
love the wagon and I love to watercolor – need more practice, but it is fun and creative
I like to watercolor but rarely do. I have this stamp so maybe I should get rolling and make one of these. (Get it, rolling, as the wagon rolls….) Sorry, couldn’t resist! So, glad you had a great lunch and quality time. I miss my best bud and all our fun lunches and stuff. Have a great weekend.
I love this stamp set! It’s one of my favorites! You have some creative ideas…. that thank you all around is one of them! Thanks for sharing!
