Rare Blessings ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

The cards I'm sharing today are what I call cheat cards. It's something I've already created, but decided to make more using a range of different colors. These cards are made from my favorite stamp set that is retiring from Stampin' Up!

Forever Blossoms ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Today I'm sharing the cards I made for my mom and mom-in-law this year for Mother's Day.  If I had posted them yesterday they would have seen their cards on here before they got them and I didn't want that to happen!

Forever Blossoms ~ A Stampin' Up Card

Today's cards were sent to anyone who ordered from me in the month of April. 

I couldn't decide if I wanted the background of my cards to be balmy blue or highland heather, so I made some of each.

Nature's Beauty ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Today's card is inspired by Try Stampin' on Tuesday's sketch challenge #456.

Watercolor Flowers and Very Versailles Sentiment ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Back in March I posted a card that had some watercolor flowers on it that were painted instead of stamped. I was asked how I made them and thought I'd share another card with the same flowers using Stampin' Up! Stampin' Write Markers to paint with instead of DiVinci watercolors (no, I did not know what I had used on the previous card since I painted the flowers sometime last year. When I started experimenting the other day I found out rather quickly it was not SU! ink!).

Lovely Day Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set

I made this card a while ago using a paper pumpkin stamp set called Lovely Day and I used the colored pencils black magic technique. You can use any floral stamp to make this. I just might try it on our Good Morning Magnolia stamps if I get a chance. 

I've heard of this technique over the years, but had never given it a try so I thought "Why not?" and I really like how it turned out!

I started by coloring everything white, then as I added color I started with the lightest to darkest. I didn't color the whole petal or leaves when I added in the darker colors, Just the white and lightest color.
