Watercolor Writing Technique

This month the Basic card class will showcase Watercolor writing.

The cards for the class are very clean and simple. After practicing for a little while, the key, for me, was not trying to be too artistic and just feel comfortable writing.

Tips, go back often for color, as you can see the purple 'Thank' got lighter as I went along. With the orange 'Happy', I was getting the hang of it.

It was so much fun and I am looking forward to teaching this at my January classes.

There are FOUR great Stamps of the Month and we start with Sweet Treats. A great stamp for Halloween, Christmas, winter, and friendship.

Here are to cards I created using Sweet Treats!

I created a Halloween shaker card using our new Shaker thin cuts and Shaker Window Foam & Acetate (Z4310). I used one of the circle thin cuts to cut a small circle in the card base and used the larger circle and frame to create a see through shaker. I cut little bats on the Cricut and added the Shaker Sequins.
And don't forget to do the inside and envelope
Next I cut a large circle with the Shaker Thin Cut and added a Cricut cut leaf frame. The Warm Winter Wishes image was stamped on the inside and a piece of Ruby polka dot ribbon from my stash was added to the front.
