Welcome and so glad you are here! Today's card is a valentine for the masculine one in your life or possibly just an ocean lover. Living in Southern California this card would be great to send to most of the people I know. Lovers of the ocean and sea animals.

New Blending Brushes
Good day to you! I finally had time to play with the new blending brushes! They are amazing and will not disappoint you! They are so soft and smooth. A few things that I learned playing with them. Be patient! I found if I tried to apply to much ink to quickly it did not blend well. So take your time. Also, very light pressure. If you press to hard you will get harsh lines and marks. At first I was holding the brush on the head of it but when I moved my hand back to the handle I was using less pressure. So if you need to move your hand back. The last advise is to gently swirl the ink on scratch paper to get the majority of ink off. Swirling motion I found to be the best way to rub the brush.

Watercolor Wednesday
Hi! For the new year I have a few series that I would like to start. The first of them is Watercolor Wednesday! I love the look of watercolor and I know the only way that I can get better is to practice and so I want to share my journey with you every Wednesday. I am really excited and I hope you learn something along the way or you can always comment and let me know what I can do to improve. My first card uses the ornate style stamp set.
Gold Pear #2
Hello! I have another gold pear idea for you. Lots of gold on this card! I did find that when heat embossing with the distinctive stamps it gives a really pretty result. Not solid but like a bunch of little dots. I really think it is fun and so different!

Happy New Year friends!
Sorry for my long absence. I have been enjoying family and taking care of so many things. I went to the mountains for Christmas, which was wonderful and such a nice break. We even had light snow flurries for Christmas Eve! Now with the New Year I am so excited to stamp! Especially because it is my favorite time of the Stampin' Up calendar, saleabration! If you are not familiar with it, for every $50 you spend you get to pick an item for FREE from the saleabration catalog. If you would like me to send you a catalog let me know. Also, the new spring catalog is available. So much goodness in these 2 catalogs!
