I am so excited about today’s technique challenge. I have never done this style of watercoloring before. It’s so easy and fun! Stamp your image in classic ink and trace the lines with your aqua painter so they bleed. I love it! I will be doing more of that!!!!
I picked the teddy from Bundle of Joy to try the technique. I stamped it in chocolate, because, well….I love chocolate chip. A year or so ago, I had to use black in each of my cards. Now it’s chocolate chip. I went over the lines with my aqua painter and added just a tad more color from the ink pad. I added doodle lines matching the border stamp from that set with the chocolate chip marker. Next I punched it out this sweetie out with the big circle punch from Marvy Urchida and layered it on the matching Scallop circle punch from MU.
For the certainly celery strip I stamped the border stamp twice in chocolate chip.Julie Buhler has created the cutest border with this set. She highlighted the stars with the white gel pen. I thought that was the cutest thing. I went a little nuts with the gel pen, but I thought it still worked.
On another blog someone mentioned that they used the small corner rounder to make scallop edges. I had completely forgotten about that. I really like the way it looks. All you have to do is take the corner guard of the punch, and punch one scallop next to the other.
I love the Petals & Paisleys Designer paper from the Spring mini catalog. I can’t help myself. I had to use it again. It’s sooo pretty.
For the saying I used the watercoloring technique again and added a touch of Cool Carribean ink in the heart.
I am having so much fun stamping and blogging! Thanks for hanging out with me!

Another winner…I love the gel pen accents (can’t have too much of a good thing!). Julie’s border idea is neat…hmm…when is that spring mini coming anyway?
What a pretty card. You’re so rockin’ the baby set. . . I still need to order it!
So adorable. I love the watercoloring. I already knew I wanted to order this set, but now I think I need to get it sooner rather than later.

I love this technique. I’ve been doing it for awhile, but didn’t realize there was a name for it. 🙂
Your card is absolutely beautiful!

My goodness.. this is so cute!
Oh, man. I wanted this set anyway, but this is too adorable! Love your doodling. So precious.
this turned out so great, brown is now my favorite color to use when stamping and for accesories..I love the vintage brown and white gingham that offray has and have used almost all I have of it up..lol!
Just wanted to tell you that this card is darling!

Another beautiful card! I love using hte corner rounder for scallop edges now too…so much easier than with the slot punch! And I agree, the white gel pen within those doodles is fantastic!!
I’m still trying to resist this set, but you are making it VERY difficult!!! 🙂
This is so sweet, Beate! I didn’t think I needed any more baby sets. . . but I just found out that my baby sister is expecting. Woohoo for reasons to buy another stamp set! 😀
