and I love the results!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
papers:  stampin' up, watercolor paper
dies:  papertrey ink
other:  prang watercolors


muted watercolors

I'm totally inspired by all of the fabulous watercolor techniques demonstrated by the papertrey ink design team . . . so I inked up my stamps and then touched them to a tray I spritzed with water before stamping them on watercolor paper . . . I love the softness it creates!

squares squared . . .

more of Papertrey Ink's 9th Anniversary fun . . .

Here's the challenge:
1. Create a new card that features nine 1-1/2" squares, each altered in a different way.  Mount them all onto a 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" square card base.
2. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product.  

And here's my take:

 




stamps:  papertrey ink
papers:  papertrey ink, stampin' up
die:  papertrey ink
embellishments:  washi tape - stampin' up; baker's twine - the pebbles in my pocket; jumbo paperclip
