Watercoloring Peek Through Card

in Cardmaking, Creativity, Techniques on 05/13/18

Happy Mother’s Day to you!  I just realized that Mother’s Day has a different date if you are from another country.  If yours has already gone by, then it’s a happy belated Mother’s Day… Well today in Canada, we celebrate this important day.  I hope you do something special for your special day.  It’s early here and I have already been spoiled again from my husband Chris.  We are early risers and this morning Chris surprised me with a special memorable gift for Mother’s Day.  We don’t have children together but he does get to see me daily with my daughters.  He sees me rushing on a daily basis and most days that I have to wear my super mom cape.  Regardless of the reason, I’m always there for my daughters and make sure they are choosing the right path, wipe their tears, listen when they need to be listened and so forth.  As the girls are getting older, Motherhood is taking an even bigger importance in a way.  Big decisions are arising for their adulthood.  I wish I could stop time for a couple of hours…

For today’s post, I wanted to highlight my Mother’s Day Watercoloring card featuring the Peek Through Technique.  This is a card that uses the new inks from Stampin’up!’s revamp colors.

Colors Used For Watercoloring:

  • Highland Heather
  • Backberry Bliss

Tip:  To achieve a lighter shade, I off stamped once my flowers that contained the Blackberry Bliss on a scrap piece of paper before stamping on my watercoloring paper.

Don’t forget  that the Move Me Thinlits are now on Sale on the clearance rack. So you will be able to make your own version of this card.   Make sure to order them before they are all gone!  You also want to order from the retiring list the glitter enamel dots and the Blooms & Wishes Stamp Set.

You can read how to make the Peek Through technique using the Move Me Thinlits on my last post HERE and  HERE

I hope you loved my card today and you are going to try The Peek Through Technique.  It’s so fun to use the new ink colors to make a watercoloring card.  The new color revamp offers so many color combinations.  Add the Large Letter Alphabets Framelits to your next order or book a party with me to have the opportunity to get them as a hostess gift.  It can be a catalogue party, a live home party in your home or mine or an online private party.

If you live in Canada, I would love to be your demonstrator!  Click on the supply list below to order any of the items.  Use Hostess May Code  3AMK3HNS to receive perks from my VIP club.   View all of the promotions including the retired list by clicking HERE.  And if you are from another country, you can still take a glimpse of the products listed and shop with a demonstrator near you. Happy Stamping!

Hugs, Kim xo

A close-up look at the bicycle card I created usin A close-up look at the bicycle card I created using @stampinupofficial’s Make a Memory Scrapbooking Kit—isn’t it adorable? I’m wishing really hard that Stampin’ Up! comes out with a coordinating stamp set for this kit. 🤞🏻

I paired it with sentiments from the Scenic Adventure Bundle, and for the background, I reached for my new favorite: the Party Banners Dies. They add just the right touch!
