Watercolor!

Welcome to our Watercolor Blog Hop, brought to you by the same ladies who participate in the monthly Stamp-of-the-Month Blog Hop. All projects will be created using Close To My Heart watercolor paints or watercolor pencils. Both of these products are a great way to add some soft color to your stamped work.

If you arrived here from Show and Tell, with Michelle, you are hopping through our circle of Close To My Heart consultants sharing their projects spotlighting watercolor.

After selecting the Pretty Simple design from the Originals Card Confidence Program, this card took very little time to create. After stamping a bird image from the Sunshine Birdies onto Watercolor paper, the paints added some soft color to the bird. Then the Watercolor was also used to "ground" the bird, and to add a bit of color to the edges of the stamped image pieces. Papers from the Charlotte kit were used as color inspiration, and to accent the card. The sentiment is from the For Family stamp set, and works well with the sweet bird. Just a bit of sparkle is found on the bird's head feathers, and with a butterfly from the Playful Puffies embellishments.

Please visit jd designs to continue along our Blog Hop featuring watercolors.

All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).

Stuck On You ~ Seasonal Expressions Blog Hop

Welcome to our Spotlight on Seasonal Expressions Blog Hop, brought to you by the same ladies who participate in the monthly Stamp-of-the-Month Blog Hop. Introduced in this catalog are new Thin Cuts which are metal dies to use with your favorite die cutting machine to cut shapes that coordinate perfectly with their corresponding stamp set.

If you arrived here from Snips, Snaps, and Scraps , you are hopping through our circle of Close To My Heart consultants sharing their projects spotlighting new products featured in the Seasonal Expressions.

Stuck On You is one of the stamp sets which has coordinating Thin Cuts. After stamping the cactus image and watercoloring it, the Thin Cut die was used to perfectly cut the shape. Then the flower pot was stamped using Whisper ink, and the shape cut with a die. A pretty floral paper from the Charlotte kit was used as the background, then a gold Puffie and some ribbon complete the card.

Close To My Heart has prepared a helpful video showing how to use the Thin Cuts die with a Cuttlebug machine.
