Stamping Time in Kingston NY
We seem to have a tradition while in Kingston at The Forsyth B&B of crafting together on Saturday night and that's just what we did! Kathy was missing from the fun, but we gave her one of our cards for a souvenir.
I had left some supplies behind from home, but it was actually fun to make what we had work. One of the items I forgot was a water spritzer, so we just used our waterbrush after inking the rubber with Distress ink. Once the stamp was pressed onto watercolor paper, we spread the ink around further with the waterbrush to even out the color. I like making these little batches of card fronts at a time as it feels more manageable.
I highly recommend Sherry's fall beverage to accompany any card crafting time at this time of year of 1911 Cranberry Hard Cider and a splash of Smirnoff Caramel Vodka. It's like liquid pumpkin pie and so yumma-licious!
I had time this week to finish them and here are some of them! The rest I'll post next week. Most of the watercolor paper I used was Strathmore postcards and because they were a bit smaller and longer than an A2 card (I think 4x6), I was able to create a border affect, which I rather liked!
Splattering really fills in the white spaces nicely. I used my all time ever most favorite sentiment from Stampendous. I am very happy with these cards and the fun we had in creating them will be fond memories indeed. |
