Hello Hello Hello

An update and a card share.

I'm hoping to share a lot more on the blog soon.  I purchased a new computer and now won't need to share with family members. Yipee!  

As far as Project Life 2014 goes I am taking a very relaxed approach to it.  I no longer pressure myself to take pictures just to fill the pockets.  I am a few weeks behind and DO NOT FEEL STRESSED about it.  Now if I can just figure out how to use my Canon Selphie with my new computer!  I want to growl at Canon for not providing us with an update!  But that is an issue for another day.

Onto other matters...

Last month I joined the Clean and Simple Cards 3 classroom.  Participating in the class helped to renew my interest in card making.  Unfortunately, I was pressed for time (and supplies) and did not keep up with  my 'homework' .  Since the class ended I have ordered more supplies and have created a few cards here and there.  Today I'm sharing a card that uses a stencil and 'watercolor stamping'. Both these techniques are currently really popular in the card making world.  

I masked the middle portion of the card before stenciling with Broken China Distress Ink. I inked the flower stamp (by Inkadinkado) with Distress Markers and sprayed it with a few mists of water before stamping.  The Hello sentiment is from Everyday Sayings by Hero Arts.

I was pleased with the result and created a few more with different colors.  

I'm entering this card in the Virginia's View Challenge #2: Stencil.  Check out the blog...it is fabulous and inspiring!

Thanks for stopping by!
