Watercolor thanks!

Happy Saturday everyone! 

This week, I am sharing a watercolor card from a kit I got from Stampin' Up! last month. I added the "thanks!" sentiment from "Autumn's Calling" set from The Project Bin:

The card base is watercolored and the kit comes with all the pieces you see here and then I stamped "thanks!" and popped it up with foam dots.

Chick Gossip....

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog and another installment for One Crazy Stamper! The challenge this month is "My Favorite Things." This week, I couldn't resist coloring up this super cute group of chicks - gossiping in the hen house! LOL! This image is another from the newest release, So Much Cuteness, from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

The stamp is called "Clucker Club" and the sentiment is called "Chick Gossip"....I remember as a kid going into our chicken coop and the cluckin' goin in there was almost deafening sometimes! This image cracks me up - I wonder what they are talking about LOL....

I stamped the image and sentiment using my Misti onto Xpress It! Copic paper and colored it up with my Copic markers. I layered on red cardstock along with my background paper - and added some twine and espresso gumdrops from YNS (my favorite embellie!)
