Hello everyone! I have another card and video to share with y'all that was thankfully filmed and edited before I caught this rotten cold. As I'm sitting here FULLY enjoying my morning coffee I thought I'd get this post up before I head into the kitchen to start prepping and cooking turkey (Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians!).
WPlus9 asked me to guest design for them last month - which was an "of course" from me LOL. I love their stamps and am always in awe of Dawn (the owner) and her watercoloring (and her card making in general - that woman has some serious talent) as well as the rest of their team and their guests. It's a big honour to be asked back again!
I needed to make a birthday card at the time, and one of my favourite things to create is birthday cards and especially birthday cards that I can customize for the person I'm giving it to. When asked what his favourite colors were I was told "rainbow and gold" (and my response was yassssssss *fist bump* LOL).
I used WPlus9's Friends for all Seasons: Fall stamp set and coordinating dies - I love the little balloons and the adorable bear in the set. I stamped them onto hot press (smooth) watercolor paper and used my Mission Gold watercolors to color them in.
I coloured the balloons in rainbow order of course - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. The bear I coloured in grey then dropped in some of the balloon colors. Kristina Werner did that on a card recently and I LOVED how it looked so I had to try it out.
On the inside of the card is where I did my personalizing. I have the WPlus9 Whimsy Alphabet stamp set and coordinating dies and just love them - they're PERFECT of course for spelling out names or to make your own sentiments. And of course I had to do the letters in rainbow colors as well!
To see how this card came together check out my video below:

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the product images have sets of letters below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased.
