PUBLISHED!!!

I got a notice last week that at least one of the cards I had submitted to Stamper's Sampler would be published. My comp magazine came yesterday and two cards were published in Stamper's Sampler's sister magazine TAKE TEN!
So here are my cards!

This one I just threw into the pile going. It was a wet watercolor. You ink up different areas of the stamp and then mist with water. It's a cool look. And very easy to do. I put some extra color on a toothbrush and rubbed with my thumbnail. The distressed edges were also highlighted in the "closer look" section.

For this card I was playing with shapes. I colored simply with Copics.

  7. A 'Twofer' -- awesome job, my friend! This is one of my all-time favorite stamping magazines; it's just too expensive to buy very often so a comp magazine is a great prize!

    Gorgeous cards; I think my favorite is the one you sent as an afterthought. Faux watercoloring is such a fun technique and your CAS layout with distressing is the perfect accompaniment!!
