Happy Summer!!

This was so fun to watercolor. Sadly, Technique Junkies has gone out of business. It's always sad when a great stamp company closes. I have loved their stamps for many, many years!!

Here, in NC, we are waiting for the hummingbirds to arrive. Should be any day now!!

You're so Nice Camera Shutter Fold Card

Believe it or not, this has a fun fold underneath the flower arrangement. It's called a camera shutter fun fold and it's super easy to make. I almost think it takes away from the flower arrangement but I used it anyway. The idea is to make something smaller to go inside it and I didn't realize how big this flower arrangement was.

Black Ice Technique

This is called Black Ice Technique. You can see it here at Splitcoast.

Here is how you do the Black Ice technique and it did take me a few tries to get it right. First my black Staz-on ink pad was DRY. But then I remembered I do have the Archival Ink with a refill so I refilled that up and it worked great. I had 1 piece of silver cardstock so I cut that in 4 pieces and luckily, the 4th one worked! Then, what I thought was embossing powder ended up being Glitter Sparkling Ice. I always think that is embossing powder so I had sparkles flying everywhere! HA Anyway, I decided to use this stamp set by Unity Stamps, I turned it around and stamped a mirror image on the bottom.
