pun fun...without the pun

A couple of days ago I found a new blog called Fun to Stamp with Sherri. Sherri has some beautiful card creations, but best of all...her pictures to capture those cards are gorgeous! With one look at one of her cards, I was hooked on her blog and will definitely look forward to more! This week Sherri is challenging her readers to dust off their Pun Fun stamp set and do a little watercoloring, which definitely isn't my strong point (which you will see in the samples below). But you can't get better at something unless you practice at it!

Normally there is a "pun" to go with each image, but I chose to use a different sentiment for each of the cards to give it the look I was going for. If you've been following my blog, you know that I love a clean and simple card, so that is what you will see in the following three cards.


Stamp Set: Pun Fun, On Your Birthday

Paper: Riding Hood Red, So Saffron, Whisper White, Varsity Blues (retired)

Ink: markers with blender pen (Riding Hood Red, Bashful Blue, Old Olive, So Saffron), Bashful Blue (sponging around the edges)

Accessories: Dimensionals

Tools: mat pack & piercing tool

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


With this particular card, I decided to just outline the image with a blender pen and Basic Gray to give it a softer look.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

As the card above, I decided to just outline the image below with a blender pen and Basic Gray to give it a softer look.
