Loons

Hello friends.

If you are celebrating Labor Day, I hope  you are enjoying the day!

We've just returned from a couple days in the NC mountains
with our daughter and her family. So we are spending
a quiet Labor Day.


These loons were stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed.  They'd been
waiting patiently in that UFO box for their place on a card.

I had pulled them out thinking they would be good for our 
CAS Watercolour silhouette challenge 
but needed some watercolor to go with them.



I had this piece of watercolor wash in my background box and was
trying to figure out how to put them together when I saw this card
that my friend Julia had done.

She enabled me to zip over to Papertrey ink and check out this die.

Actually it was 2 dies.  And while I was there, I had to get some 
of their wonderful sentiment sets too.

I used the smaller die to cut a piece of the watercolor wash
and the larger die to emboss a piece of Neena.

Fortunately there was enough of a border left on the wash
to use as a narrow border.

Here's a close up of the wash. Doesn't it look like water?


CAS Mix Up
I have stamping, watercolor wash, heat embossing, dry embossing with a die and a die cut.

AAA Cards #98 is
I'm thinking the loons qualify as critters.

ANYTHING GOES



Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
