I made this card on Sunday when I was stamping with my sister at my very over crowded kitchen table. My father was suggesting that he needs to make me a bigger one – perhaps just some organization and tidying will do it. If we can stop making cards long enough to do so. This is using a stamp set, Watercolor Words, which my sister owns and I do not. There was a phone call before Caro flew to NJ to compare what we have so that she could fill in gaps. She’s here for ten days so I need to concentrate on the new to me stuff!

This card uses two of the stamps from the Watercolor Words set. I started by stamping the sentiment in watermelon wonder and then filled in the corner gap with a flower stamp. After that I worked my way across the card, making sure the flowers weren’t in a regular zig zag. The very vanilla piece was then mounted on a watercolor wonder cardbase.

Unlike recent posts, I actually possess the new designer series paper stack in this colour. I really love the words paper – and of course it felt right with this card.

I passed over this stamp set in the catalogue because I thought that if I wanted words in a watercolour like way, I could use my aquapainter and write them myself. Completely forgetting that I’ve never actually hand written on a card! But I may get out my aquapainter and play with this stamp set this upcoming weekend.

See you tomorrow,
