Happy Monday!



Hello and Happy Monday to you!

Make It Monday #247: Watercolored Card Sets
Melissa shows us some fun watercoloring with inks. 
The card below follows Melissa's technique

The card above is the one I used Melissa’s Technique 


To make my notecards I used the Papertrey Ink - Tag Sale: Quilted Die I just place folded paper below the cut edge and you get this sweet noted card . I wanted the stitched edge to show, so I cut the center piece just a bit under 3 1/4 th.   The stitched edge even shows up on the inside!
 Of course my idea came from this darling Make It Market Kit: Don’t Forget to Write


Since my granddaughter will be coming over soon I made this second quick, notecard to add to the set with cut and watercolored blooms I already had.

Hope you enjoy your day!

    Clever and beautiful! Love it's sweet scallop. and your blooms are gorgeous! Our 19 year old granddaughter is on her way from Pismo, to stay for a while. I'm sure yours is a lot younger. Brings life and bright joy to our home when they come!

    Marybeth, my computer was finally updated, so now I can comment on your wonderful cards once again. Sorry that I've been quiet so very long. First, thank you for the hint about using Tag Sale: Quilted for a note card. I actually like your version with the stitched square a bit better than the one in the kit. Both cards are fabulous in their own special way - the first is a little more modern and the second is so elegant. How blessed you are to have your family nearby.

    Both of your cards are just gorgeous Marybeth, and I'm so glad you said how you made the square notecards too, as I was quite jealous thinking you had already received your Make it Market kit! :0)

    Beautiful cards and how smart to use the quilted die this way! It's been on my wishlist for a long time. Luckily I got the new MIM Kit so will be able to use the die in the kit.
