Hi Stampers,
My good friend and stamp club member, Bethany, tragically lost her younger brother over the weekend, so I needed yet another sympathy card.
While blog hopping, which I do ALOT, I saw a card with this watercolor technique at Patty Bennett's blog. As soon as you're finished here, head on over there and watch her video of how to do this. http://www.pattystamps.com . I basically followed the same instructions, but instead I stamped my images in versamark and heat embossed with sterling silver e.p. I found that with the striped cardstock from the Taste of Textiles pack really picked up the silver embossed image better than by embossing in white. Anyway, after I embossed the roses, and watercolored them in, I call all three of them out. Yes, (K!) (I dont know why I keep her name secret, everybody already knows who I'm talking about :0) I know what you're thinking, you dont like to cut things out...but trust me, it's not hard at all, and besides all you have to do is follow around the already embossed areas. I just layered the roses on the striped paper with dimensionals and adhered it to the 5 1/4" square piece of Pink Pirouette textured cardstock. Notice that I used the AWESOME new Eyelet Border punch. Dontcha just love it?!! I do!! And while I know that I cant take away the pain of a loved one, I hope this card will let Bethany know how much I really care about her, and may somehow ease her pain.
Thats it for today. Check back later for more cool projects!

Oh I do love the card! BUT that does not mean I will ever make it. I do HATE to cut things out. I can never seem to get it just perfect. And If you know me at all I must have it just so so.... I feel so bad for Bethany and her family, I just wish there was something I could do for her. She is in my thoughts and prayers.
Ok that last post was from me, K. I am still trying to get this figured out. As you can tell I am not having much luck...And you think that I need a facebook page!!!! Kathy
