Stampin! with Jaydee

Hi Everyone.  Happy Friday.

It's the fabulous Anja's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and she has a theme that I just cannot seem to avoid:-)  Seriously, I am addicted to watercoloring right now.

If you are the winner of our challenge this week, our fabulous design challenge creator - and stamping store creator - Kylie has a great prize for you.  A $15 certificate for you to try out the great and versatile designs that Kylie has in her store "Happy Little Stampers"

We also welcome our guest designer the very talented rieslingmama - Maria.  I hope you will pop along and check out her gorgeous CAS creations.

I made several cards for this challenge and ended up deciding to show you the most clean and simple of them all.  I made multiples of this card as I didn't want to waste my precious gold watercolor paint.  So, I ended up with about 10 of them :-) 

Here's my version in white.  All I did was take the stamp, paint some of the watercolor paint on top of the stamp - and put it onto Neenah Solar White cardstock.  Because the paint wasn't terribly wet - it didn't warp the card and all - and take a look at the shimmer on it:

I stamped the sentiment in black to make it pop - let the paint to dry and the card was ready to go.

Here's the full card:

I hope you will join us this week.  If you are looking for some inspiration, you have to look no further than the cards from our amazing design team.

On a personal note:

It has been a very long week workwise, so I am going to keep this post short.  But, for those of you who come to my blog post to see something other than cards..... here you go :-)

I managed to capture this shot of the little chickadee cracking open a seed on the feeder. I love these little guys!

I'll be back with another card for you tomorrow - and a little surprise!   In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight - including my dearest Tinkerbell.

Hugs

Jaydee
