Sneak Peek: Watercolor Trio

SDC13522-2 The Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog customer sales period begins May 1.  As a Stampin up watercolor trio summer mini catalog close up I used Rose Red, Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin' Up! Stampin' Write Markers to color directly on the rubber of the floral image.  Start with the lighter (So Saffron) on the flowers and do the darker (Rose Red) last.
  • I decided to add the Chocolate Chip Corduroy brads after I adhered the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper (stripe).  To avoid the brad "legs" from showing on the inside of the card, I simply snipped off the brad "legs" and adhered them with Mini Glue Dots.  My Craft & Rubber Scissors made the "snipping" a breeze.
  • Stampin up square lattice textured impressions embossing folder Card size is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (A2).  Note:  Most of my cards are this
    size.  If not, I try and list the size change for you.  The flower layer is 1 7/8" x 2 5/8".
  • Deeeeeelicious! The Summer Mini's Square Lattice Textured Embossing Folder (a Stampin' Up! exclusive) cranks out incredible, patterned texture. 
  • Everyone assumes that winters are glorious in Tucson . . . they are.  What you may not know is that spring offers both moderate temperatures and a multitude of colorful flowers.  The orange tree in our yard is in full, fragrant bloom (top photo below: a lovely way to fall asleep with a window cracked open at night), and my cactus are strutting their "pretty in pink" stuff (second photo below).

    My daughter Caroline took the photos (including the quail eggs above) from around our yard.
