Happy Saturday! I wanted to share another card we made last week at Stamp Club. This is a cute Valentine card but you could also make it into a birthday card as several of my stamping friends did. I used the darling chick from the Sale-a-Bration catalog - Hey Chick! I just think he (or she) is adorable!!
I stamped the chick with Black Archival ink since I was planning on watercoloring and didn't want the colors to bleed. I used the new watercolor pencils to color the chick. The little hearts are from the Jar of Love set and the heart balloons are from Balloon Builders. This proved a good lesson on masking. We used a sticky note to mask the middle balloon after it had been stamped with Sweet Sugarplum ink and stamped the two balloons on either side. I used a Sharpie Marker to draw in the balloon strings.
We are headed out this evening to watch the Charlotte Checkers hockey game. This is the first time we've seen them play this year. It's a fun outing. We are going to try out the restaurant in the Bojangles Coliseum. When Sonny and I were dating, one of favorite date nights was to watch the Checkers vs. the Greensboro Generals. At the time, we both lived in Greensboro (where we met) and so we were pulling for the Generals. There was always a fight that broke out between the two teams on the ice. They were natural enemies I think!! You know, a hockey game is not a good one unless there's a fight or two!
Make sure to check back tomorrow evening for the NC Demos Blog Hop. We will be featuring products from Sale-a-Bration. I will show you fun ways to use the Inside the Lines Designer Paper.
