Fun & Fast Notes

I saw this adorable way to change the top note and had to try it!  I LOVE it!  I am now convinced that the Big Shot and the Top Note die are a MUST HAVE!  I watercolored the image with re-inkers and an aqua painter.  I'm not the best watercolorer by any means, but I do like the look of watercoloring.  I love the watercolor paper that Stampin' Up! sells - it's 140lb so you can get it all wet and it won't crinkle up on you.

I can't stop thinking about Christmas Cards!  I wanted to do the textured impressions folder on some brushed silver cardstock and this is what I came up with.  It's so shimmery!  After I ran the brushed silver through the Big Shot to get the textured impression on there, I then ran my White Craft Pad over the snowflakes to get them to pop off the Brushed Silver cardstock.  So pretty!

Upsy Daisy

Apparently I am really into Old Olive right now!  I once again used the awesome Color Coach from Stampin' Up! and the color combo was Old Olive, Not Quite Navy and Cajun Craze.  I think I'm also addicted to my Big Shot since I can't seem to make a card without it!

For Everything

I sat down to stamp and couldn't decide what colors I wanted to use.  So, I pulled out the awesome new Color Coach from Stampin' Up! and this is what I got.  I love it!  The colors kind of look like a little bit of fall to me.  Which I am really missing down here in FL.
