I Heart You

I've been obsessively die cutting hearts from the Hero Arts So Sorry Stamp & Cut set...after I finished obsessively making watercolor pages. It was a whole day of painting, die cutting and then cardmaking. And it was fun. Here's another card I made.

I used a HA stencil and watercolors to print some backgrounds in blue. And then I did some watercoloring on my card base with blues and greens. After I cut out the heart, I backed with the stenciled piece. I also embossed the card base and stamped it.

It was pretty fun and I'm fascinated how the watercolor turns out depending on how much water you use and what paper you use. 

So, even though it's been awhile, here's my Book Cover of the Week. 

This is a cover that makes me want to read The Flux, even though it's the second book of the 'Mancer series. Guess I'll have to start with the first book called Flex.

What are you reading now? Did you pick it because of the cover? Just wondering! 

And don't forget, if you have some Hero Arts dies, you can enter the a2z Scrapbooking Supplies June challenge for a chance to win $25 to the store!

Happy Wednesday Friday! (Tried to schedule this for Wednesday, but someone messed up...so here it is today!)

What Day Is It Again?

The day off on Monday threw me off, I almost forgot to post on Wednesday, thinking it was Tuesday. And we didn't even have a snow day to add to the confusion, just the holiday. Ah well, these things happen.

Today I have a card made with a Neat and Tangled die. Love this geometric heart. I cut it out several times and then used different papers to fill in. In the white spots, I added Diamond Stickles. The heart insides and the outline are from paper that I had spritzed with my Dylusions ink sprays...loving those things!

I used my large and small ink daubers for the circles (with Distress Inks) and then some washi that my crafting friend, Karen, sent me out of the goodness of her heart. She also did a giveaway for those Tim Holtz Crazy Birds and I won those, and immediately inked them up. I'll share that project soon. Thanks for the extra washi tapes, Karen!

Entering the Little Tangles challenge here, hope you'll join in! They have some cute freebies if you don't have any Neat and Tangled stamps...this "hello" is one of them. 

Happy (last few minutes of) Wednesday!
