Happy for Summer Card Camp

Hi,












It's Week  2 of Summer Card Camp with Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner. Following  is a card I made using an embossing and watercolor technique with this week's colors.  Inks were used to hopefully achieve a watercolor effect. The online card camp is so full of inspiration, I am so happy to be a participant!  It has really gotten me to branch out with color, usually my cards have  a quiet feel (I think!) but more color adds more cheer!
Smiles,
Val

  3. AWESOME! I love this card and have the same stamp from HA! I may have to try this technique with my stamp, as it looks wonderful.

    In the past, I'm simply colored it with Copics, but I love all the new ideas and techniques we've learned in class! I'm a huge fan of both designers and so happy to be in CAMP!!
