Today I am sharing a card I made with one of the awesome new Hot Air Balloon sets from Stampendous!

This is Air Scapes Perfectly Clear Stamps.

I colored this image with  STAEDTLER Aquarell Watercolor pencils.

These water color pencils are fabulous!

It had been a while since I used water color pencils and I was really happy with the results!

STAEDTLER sent me a pack of 12.  

It comes in this terrific plastic case.

You open it up...

And the lid folds up into a little stand which makes it so easy to use the pencils!

All the sentiments on the card are from the Soaring Sentiments Perfectly Clear Stamp Set.

A True Friend

I made today's card for a special friend's birthday and loved it so much that I just had to share it with all of you!

I started by embossing the light purple panel with a cuttlebug embossing folder and then adhered the embossed panel to the card with Scrap Happy Glue.  Then I tied black and white twine around the top of the card.

I used the On the Fence Die and wood grain stamp to create the fence.

That beautiful flower is African Violets.

I stamped the sentiment, True Friend, on vellum and adhered it to the fence with vellum tape.

I finished the inside of the card too!

The Happy birthday is part of the two set True Friend Sentiment set.

I hope today's project put you in the mood to stamp because the weekend is coming up!

I know that's what I'll be doing!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: The Rubber Cafe'- wood grain stamp, True Friend, African Violets
