Today’s video is all about using your Aqua Painter and creating a color wash. This requires Watercolor paper, stamp pad, Aqua Painter, and reinker. The color is your choice. I used Soft Suede. Remember this is a background technique.
I decided I needed a break from the Holiday cards and do something different. Everyone has a birthday so I decided to do a masculine birthday card. Stampin’ Up! Country Livin stamp set fits the bill. That stamp set has a wonderful pickup and guitar beside the boots. You will find the pickup on my Facebook.

Sometimes we miss something that is absolutely adorable in the catalog. You need to go to the first page inside the Holiday catalog. There is another fox lurking there. It is a Host item you can get with your Host Rewards when you spend $150. He is larger that what is shown in the picture. Look here and see what I have done with him.
