This card is pretty simple. I stamped the image with Stazon ink on watercolor paper. I then used my blenderpens and classic ink to watercolor the image. The designer paper is Western Sky, it's my absolute favorite and works for both genders. The red layer, where I used my spiral punch, is on foam adhesive (stampin' dimensionals).

I used the same coloring technique on this card as the one above. I just wish I had put eyelets or jumbo eyelets between the image and the sentiment.

I've had this image ready for a while. I colored it with my watercoloring pencils and blender pens. And sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip. I also put a little bit of Crystal Effects on the apples and the cap. The image is on dimensionals. Size 5.25"x5.25".

The image here is watercolored with my ink and blender pens. I have to say, I think this one is my favorite. It's simple but I like the color combo. A little bit of faux stitching and a torn edge.

I think this little doggie is so cute....and sad at the same time. I wanted to try a different fold here. Scroll down a little bit to see how it's folded. I used River Rock and Close to Cocoa on both of my little doggies. River Rock has a little bit too much green in it to use by itself and I didn't want to use only one color.

I hope you like what I've done with this stampset. It sure was a challenge for me.
