CSS Hop - My Favorite Things - Feb 26

Hi everyone!  It's Stamp TV's CSS Hop.  You should be coming from Tera Fujan blog, or if you are just popping in, you can go HERE for the list of today's participants.  Meanwhile, I chose to highlight Stippled Nature.





This last card is something new I tried.  I stamped the images, and then took a wet paint brush and "painted" over the image.  Then, taking a towel, I dipped it in the wet paint [a cheap little kid's water color kit] and blotted the towel around for the background!  I have to say, I kind of like this end result!  An artist I am not, but using just water makes the result look like I am!  Have to love that~

I hope you like seeing 3 very different cards out of the same set.  

This is the end of the hop [yep, I am last again] -- I hope you had fun seeing the different cards and projects that were made. Actually, LINDA had inter problems, but she is up now.  Pop on over and check it out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Your first two cards are so you and your style. They are perfect and fabulous designs. The third card shows that you can just let loose, and have fun!

Very nice cards.

Oh, Vicki....such beauty in these cards that you created with one of my favorite sets. I have used Stippled Nature in all seasons it seems. Bless you for showcasing this set as I love to see different things done with it. What I like is the style of the stamps that create a more destressed looking image. I like that look!

Amazing to see how different three cards can be from the same set! Your 'experiment' card is fabulous! Love the colors and the watercolor look it has!
