Today I am sharing with you a quick stamping tip for creating a large watercolor stripe on your card. I used distress markers to color directly onto an acrylic block.
Next I spritz the block with water and stamped directly onto watercolor paper. For this card I didn't quite color with my distress markers far enough down on my acrylic block. To compensate, I simply used the block to drag the excess ink down the card front. To add more texture to the watercolor stripe next I colored with markers on the acrylic block and stamped into the watercolor stripe without spritzing the block with water. You can see how I added that texture layered in the video. I also used a Misti Tool to stamp my image to ensure I got a nice crisp black impression.
Don't you just adore how Laura used the Poppies to create her background paper too? Can't wait for you to see all the Poppy Projects from our design team.
Here you can see the construction of the shaker window. I used two acetate squares cut from Die #1, two white window frames using Die #1 and #2. To create the depth for the shaker card inset I die cut a piece of craft foam using die #1 and #2 together and then cut off the center grid leaving just a craft foam square which I adhered to the first piece of acetate.
This is the inset cut you will get using the the ornate die from A2 Graceful Lines paired with one of the Card Basics Rectangle dies from A2 Card Front Basic Dies. The oval and small rectangle dies in A2 Card Front Basics Dies were designed to compliment the ornate A2 Graceful Lines Die. In the video I quickly show you all the different design options with these die elements.
I love how the die looks so different depending on where you place the sentiment elements.
This is the die cut you get when you use both of the A2 Graceful Line Dies together. To make the design really pop I used the outer die to cut a black mat.
Here is the design in a vertical orientation.
Here is a view of it paired with the rectangle die cut sentiments.
Don't you just hate it when you are in the middle of a project and you have a dull paper trimmer blade and you want to finish your project? Here is my tip for working with paper burrs from a dull blade.
You can purchase a nail buffer in the cosmetic section of almost any store or at your local beauty supply store.

The glue remains tacky after it dries and stays tacky until you apply gilding flakes or glitter. Once you stamp the glue onto your cardstock, next look at the surface of the cardstock. If any areas of glue appear light blue- allow these areas to dry. The translucent areas are already dry (the glue dries very quickly). Once all the areas are translucent add the Gilding Flakes.
Here are links to the products I used in the video - Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flake and Glitter Glue - the glue is the magic. You can use a palette knife to put any extra glue you don't use back into the bottle.
