Out With the New and in With the Old #9

 I am really enjoying using my old wooden stamps! It seems like I am using something new since I haven't used my wooden stamps in ages. The flowers were stamped directly onto the patterned paper. I used an old technique where I tapped some inks onto the stamps, spritzed them with water and then stamped to make a watercolor effect. I stamped the jar onto a piece of acetate, fussy cut it and adhered it to the card.

Saying: Just For Fun Stamps
Patterned Paper:  Viken - 49 and Market

Using the Wreath Maker

Hi and welcome to my blog! I pulled out a tool that I have not used in awhile. Do you remember the Wreath Maker? I had to find instructions on how to use it since I have not used it in a very long time. It was fun playing with it again and I had forgotten how easy it is to use. This is the card I made using the wreath that I formed.
