Paint it, cut it, stamp it, collage it!

As you know, I can never throw away scraps. So when I have my acrylics or watercolors out, I paint extra pieces of cardstock to have for future cards. Simply color wash your paper or you can even “ink up” your paper with some little color cubes of ink. Cut your image free form, stamp a few images and collage it together. Below are two card ideas, one being featured in a new book I did for Design Originals. I will pick two random winners from your comments for a copy of the new book, Classy & Clear. (Click HERE for more on the book!)

Here’s the first idea:

• Message Circles
• Sparkle Clear Messages
• Leaf Flourish
• Flower and Leaf Branch

And here’s a card that is shown on the cover:

• Thinking of you Messages
• Designer Flourishes

Since it’s “Watch It Wednesday”, here’s a short video to show you this fun free form technique!

Tomorrow we’ll be announcing the winners of last week’s Wrap Around Card Challenge. See you Friday!

   Karen D Thanks for all the inspiration. I use water colour and brush markers a lot for background and then cut out with my various size punches
