The Fun n' Crafty group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators decided to kick-off our first blog hop with inspiration from the brand new 2014-2015 catalog and idea book. There are many inspiring projects in the catalog, and I decided to go to page 173 to find a new way to use my Lovely as a Tree stamp set. This set has been around for many years, and a watercolor background adds a nice touch to the set. It is also a great way to make a one or two layer card that will be easy to mail. For my card, I decided to wait and add a sentiment on the inside of the card to make it more versatile.
Supplies Used:
Watercolor Paper & Aqua Painters
Ink: Soft Sky, Costal Cabana, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, & Chocolate Chip
Markers: Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green, & Chocolate Chip
Stamp Set: Lovely as a Tree

Love the watercolor effects along with Lovely As A Tree, I will have to try this technique soon - Thank you for sharing - Pam
Great card and pretty without needing tons of layers and accessories which is great. I'd love to hear how you did the background, did you watercolor after stamping... trying to figure out how to try this at home. :)
The watercolor look is beautiful! This would make a great man card...maybe a fisherman? Great job!
Thank you! I did the watercolor background before the stamping and masked the edges with post-it notes. This was fun to try and could work with other stamp sets.
