Groovy Card!

We had our first club meeting this evening. Catherine found this card on Splitcoast Stampers and though it would make a wonderful card to make using the "Highlighting with Markers" technique.



Stamp Set: Garden Whimsey
Card Stock: Groovy Guava, Rose Red, Whisper White, Ginger Blossom Design Paper
Ink: Groovy Guava, Rose Red Stampin' Write Marker
Technique: Adding color to your stamp

Catherine first stamped the butterfly in Groovy Guava and then using a Rose Red Stampin' Write Marker, she highlighted the swirls and circles. She then "huffed" on the stamp and stamped it on the Whisper White. We then compared just stamping with one color of ink and with two. The difference was phenomal. I'll show the comparison tomorrow, but just had to get this card up tonight!! I just love the layout.

Here is the comparison I promised. Can you tell the BIG difference when you use the marker. Really makes that little guy POP!!

More Dahlia Cards

I hope to not bore you with all these Dahlia cards, but they are SO fun to do.

I made 4 more this evening and here they are




I used the Carousel Notes from the 2008 Occasions Mini and made separate buds. I made 7 of the dahlia folds and put in the smaller flowers and three in the middle flower. I then used the smaller circle punch (1 1/4") and used Certainly Celery Designer Prints and made little stems.

Card Stock: Wild Wasabi Carousel Note, Ginger Blossom Designer Printer, Certainly Celery Designer Print. Whisper White
