Way's to use it Wednesday Ep.6 - Creating Backgrounds

For today's Way's to use it Wednesday we will create our own background and make a card with only ONE stamp set! You could even change the sentiment and make many of this EASY CAS design!
I love it when I have a design I can easily make many many cards of. This is one of them! You can easily swap out the sentiment and make so many of these for multiple occasions. The supplies are minimal too, so you can pack them all up in a little tote and take them with you to a crop, weekend away, or just stamping with a friend.

I made 4 of these cards, and it won't hurt to give them to someone who is special and may not even be 'my dad'. Close friends always deserve a nice card for Father's Day! How many people can you think of giving one of these cards to?

Watch the video to see how I created this super easy card.

Simple right? Imagine all the different themes you could create just by swapping out the colors!

Question: How many different color themes can you think of?

Watercolors on Embossed Images | CAS | TUTORIAL


While I still won't profess to the best watercolor'er (is that even a word? lol) in the world, I do love playing with them. I couldn't 'not' pull them out for this particular card, as it's my card for the K Werner Mail Call. I absolutely adore Kristina and have learned so much from her. She is a Master of all card making. Truly, she's amazing. When I grow up I want to be just like her (among a couple other amazing people that inspire me lol)
Kristina's theme for March is "Just Because" so that's the sentiment I used. In fact, you can watch me make the entire card, it's a pretty fun video. I even chat a little as you guys have told me you would prefer I chat with you rather than speed it up and add music. So that's just what I did, coz I love ya all! xoxo
So what do you think? Will Kristina be proud of my efforts?

**Here is the link to my Shimmers & Splatters Video I mentioned in the video**

I did end up doing an envelope. It's nothing like the envies Kristina does, but I was happy with it!
I don't have any little 'snail' stamps, so I opted to use a sticker and matching flowers for the "i's" in her name.
I'm sure glad I took a photo of it, as I still had pencil marks from drawing the lines that I couldn't see but they showed up in my photo! Phew! 
I sure wish I had the same penmanship as Kristina! *Sigh*

Question: Can you write in Brush Script? How did you learn?
