Hi All,
I had a little fun with my Inktense pencils again today. I love using them for watercolor. I used more water on this background, as compared to when I used them with less water on THIS CARD.
This Summer Garden stamp set is new by Simon Says Stamp and I love the flowers in it. Although I didn’t use them on this card, it has matching dies. It reminds me of Secret Garden, which is retiring from Stampin’ Up! this year. 🙁
I also used my masking fluid again, like I did on THESE CARDS. I really love this product and can’t wait to use it in the winter for snow scenes!
Oh, and yes, the Mama Elephant Femme Frames again (see THIS CARD). These are so awesome for cardmakers – perfect layering for A2 size cards. They are really hard to find. Ellen Hutson has an email notification you can sign up for, which will let you know as soon as it’s in stock. I have used that feature many times and it’s great.
Also, Simon Says Stamp has two active coupons: $5 off now through June 15th with code 5BUCKS. And, free shipping on US/Canada orders over $75 with code DSC799. International orders over $75 receive $7.99 off with code DSC799.
Enjoy the video and Happy Mother’s Day!

Darlene, I just love the way you did the water color wash for this card, it’s so, so beautiful and it allows this little flowers to pop. I’ve never used Masking Fluid but I think it would be a great thing to give it a try, it looks great on your background. What a great idea to cut the glue dots, I didn’t know you can actually cut them, they are so sticky.
Thank you so much for another fabulous video and another great technique for us to try.
Happy Mother’s Day to you to!!!!!

Love when you use inktense pencils on your cards – the results are just awesome. BTW, didn’t mind getting the 2 emails from you – just disappointed when I realised they weren’t different!! Having said that I actually didn’t get an email for this card – can you tell I hang out for your great videos!!?? Thanks.
