Ok, so I said I was having fun with the paints, I wasn't kidding. I just couldn't stop. I love both of these techniques, and I can see myself using them again and again. I think this is my favorite day so far.

Day 9 #2
Here's my second card. I matted the watercolor paper on black card stock, but the photo was taken against a dark background, so it is hard to see the black. I think this looks much better than the first.
Day 9
I had a lot of fun playing around with paint today. I don't particularly like glitter since it is always so messy. I have received cards in the mail and had glitter end up all over the place and it takes forever to get rid of, so instead of glitter I used metallic acrylic paint so I still had a bit of shimmer.

Clean and Simple Card Making 2 Day 1
It is day one of Clean & Simple Card Making 2, and and I am already having fun with my first day of 'homework'. I've had a busy day, so I wasn't able to do my homework until late, so the picture is a bit dark. I usually use natural light, and the silver embossing powder was a bit hard to get the right angle so you could see it in the picture. I really like how fast and fun this card was to make. Now this is the kind of homework for me!
Supplies used:
black card stock
white card stock
silver embossing powder
Versafine black ink
Outta this world stamp set (Close To My Heart)
Artiste cricut cartridge (Close To My Heart)
