Fun news!


Hello, hello!
It's finally March. *happy sigh*
I'm looking forward to my upcoming birthday even though I will be 36:)

Remember my goodbye post last week about stepping down from the CAS-ual Friday challenge blog?
Well... *grin* I stepped down because Michele asked me to be on the brand new Design Team for Casual Friday Stamps!!! 


Wahoo!
I have never said YES to something so fast in my life:)
I loved designing for CAS-ual Fridays (I created and posted for 91 challenges!), but I've never been clean & simple girl at heart. I like lots of layers, details and eye candy. Case in point: After I created the card above, I went back and added rhinestones to the centers of the flowers *chuckle* It just needed something...more, YKWIM?

Stamps used:

I stamped the image panel (watercolor paper) with several flowers and vines and then embossed them in white. Then I went back in with some watercolor crayons and put color where I wanted it. After "washing" it with my brush and allowing the colors to bleed a bit, I wiped the color off the embossed parts with a paper towel. These are the watercolor crayons I used:


I'm happy dancing along with the rest of the new Ink Squad Design Team! And believe me, you will LOVE the new sets coming up in the next few months. Michele is a mastermind at creating just what is missing from our stamping arsenals. I promise you won't be disappointed!
Go welcome the other girls too:

                           Dana Seymour <---That's me:)

Thanks for stopping by today and sharing in my fun news! 
I'm so excited to get the ball rolling!
XOXO
