I’m Thinking Of You! Stampin` Up!

Hello there! Here I am.. again! I finally had some time to stamp between being an innkeeper. Summer is crazy busy and running 2 jobs with the hours I work, can be a bit of a struggle but.. my stamping is what keeps me sane! I wanted to share another card with you. You may recognize it.. yep, it is another CASE (copy and share everything) kind of card! I love the Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies that coordinate perfectly with the Abstract Impressions Stamp Set (this is found on pages 128-130 of our 2018-2019 Annual Catalog).

To color the watercolor paper that I cut out w/ the thinlit and my big shot, I used a Aqua Painter, filled with water and some of our re-inkers. Its that easy.. and I randomly colored it. Its not perfect, but that was the objective! I just love this card. The sentiment is from the stamp set Rooted In Nature. Its another gorgeous suite of product found on pages 142-144 of our 2018-2019 Annual Catalog).

Recipe for the featured card:

PS I use one of my clear blocks for my ink palette. It comes in really handy and is easy to clean off with a baby wipe and it does not stain as our re inkers are water based inks.

Have a great day.. make something pretty and get inky! *hugs*
