I have some students starting their final practicum this week and I wanted to make them a card! I pulled out some products I haven't had a chance to play with yet along with some gouache paint that I have never tried! My friend, Tammy, started #craftyourstash2026 so this looked like the perfect opportunity to play along!

 I finally got some time to play with this technique I have been itching to try! I was inspired by Ilda Dias and Barbara Tarayao and their talented creations.

 I am up on the Studio Katia Blog this morning sharing a birthday card featuring the Daisy Bunch stamp set. I have so many daisies around my place right now that I just had to take this set out! I took out Dotted Slimline Set 3 and cut out two scalloped backgrounds in white cardstock. I took one of them and cut off the scallops along the dotted lines and set aside the one still in tack to use later. I stamped the daisies at the bottom of the panel in black ink and added a mask on top so that I could stamp another daisy bunch above. I added another mask on top and stamped a third daisy bunch at the top of the panel. I removed the masks and set them aside for later.

 Today I am over on the Studio Katia Blog sharing my latest project: a Spring Roses watercolour card + matching tag! I took out the Spring Roses stamp set and stamped the roses in a clear pigment ink on a piece of watercolour cardstock that was 4 1/8 x 5 1/2. I sprinkled some gold embossing powder over the image and heat embossed it. Next, I took out the Simple Dotted Borders and used the straight dotted line over the left edge of my watercolour panel to give some interest.

*TIP* The Simple Dotted Borders single line of dots does not cut your panel, it only imprints the dots.

 During the lastest release from The Greetery, I was inspired by a card that had the Pine & Berry Background stamped in black ink onto dark grey cardstock. I decided to give it a try!
