Watercolor Pencils meet Swan Lake

Today's card is not my usual A2 size card, its made on our Stampin' Up! notecards.  I used our new Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils, Blender pen and another new stamp set from our Occasions Catalog.  At first, this stamp set really didn't catch my eye, but now, I'm in love with this stamp set.

Meet, Swan Lake

How could one stamp set bring so much peace and tranquility to your day? We're not sure on the dynamics of that, but the calm and serene message of this stamp set is certainly as peaceful as can be.

And, I used the new Water Color Pencils

High-quality, smooth color pencils. Perfect for watercoloring stamped images. Use with Aqua Painters, Blender Pens, or alone.


* 13 pencils in Stampin’ Up! colors: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White

Ok, I won't let you wait any longer, here is the note card created

I also stamped on the envelope.

As mentioned earlier, I used our Stampin' Up! note cards, which they come in a pack of 20 Whisper White cards: 5" x 3-1/2" and 20 Whisper White envelopes: 5-1/8" x 3-5/8". 


Psst--do you want to know the easiest way to make a card? Start with Note Cards & Envelopes. They're ready for you to make and send a card. Card has thicker cardstock for layering and embellishing.

Layered on that is the Basic Black cut 1/8" smaller and the top layer that I stamped on and water colored is the Shimmery White Cardstock, cut 1/8" smaller than the Basic Black card stock.


The images from Swan Lake stamp set were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on the Shimmery White Card stock and than colored in with the new Water Color pencils and blended with the blender pens.  I have to say, this was a very relaxing, fun, card to create.


I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.  I'm in love with this stamp set.
