Touch of Kindness Sneak Peak

Here's another Sneak Peak of the 2011 Stampin' Up! Summer Mini!  Touch of Kindness Stamp Set and the Happy Greetings Stamp Set are used in today's card.  I decided to pull out my Watercolor Paper (#105019), stamp in Black Stazon and punch it out using my 2 1/2" Circle Punch (#120906).

Stamp Sets:  Touch of Kindness (wood mount #123201, clear mount #123203), Happy Greetings (wood mount #123311, clear mount #123313)

Ink:  Black Stazon, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Bashful Blue, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi

Paper:  Watercolor Paper (#105019), Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White

Embellishments:  Brights Designer Buttons (#119747), Certainly Celery 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon (#119255), Tangerine Tango Pompom Trim (#123323)

Adhesives:  SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Punches:  2 1/2" Circle (#120906)

Big Shot:  Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (#117335), Scallop Circle #2 (#113469)

Tips & Tidbits

• Using Black Stazon, ink the birdbath image and stamp on Watercolor Paper. Color the image with an Aqua Painter (#103954).  It's great for controlled watercoloring.  (To use, fill reservoir with water.)

How to use the Aqua Painter:  squeeze the middle of the ink pad and open container. Using the Aqua Painter, pick up a small amount of color and fill in the image.  You can always add more ink color to make the image darker.

• Put SNAIL around the back of the circle.  Adhere the Pompom Trim around the edges. Stampin' Dimensionals to the back and adhere to the Daffodil Delight scallop circle.

Only 3 More Days of the Occassions Mini!  It ends on Saturday, April 30th, at Midnight, so order your Pompom Trim before it's gone!!  Click my Order Online button to get started!
