Beautiful You



I have seen other cards made with the Beautiful You stamp set where the stamp has been altered.  I finally decided to give it a try.  If it doesn't work, it's only paper and can be tossed.  I don't think these are the best I can do, but I don't think they need to be trashed.

I only inked up the top part of the stamp, up to the waistline.  For the blue dress, I drew a long skirt on a scrap piece of cardstock.  Using a blue Stampin' Up! watercolor pencil, I traced the pattern on to the card.  I then used the blue pencil and a blender pen to make the dress.

For the pink dress, I also used Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils, but I did not use a pattern.  I just made some squiggly lines to make the dress.  Once again, I used a blender pen to fill in between the squigglies.

To dress it up a little, I used Wink of Stella on the top of the dress.

Canadian Rockies




Jim took this picture on our recent trip to the Canadian Rockies. When he got home, he re-created it in glass. What you can’t tell in this picture is the glass on the bottom is fuzzy making the reflection lighter than the top.
