As I said in my post a few days ago, we had a fantastic time at Stamp Club this month. Here’s the first of two projects we made. I changed the colors but otherwise it’s an exact CASE from last October’s World Card Making Day event hosted by Brian King and Pam Morris.

You may recognize this technique. It’s been around for a very long time. And it’s super easy. Just drop some reinker on the paper and blow it around using a drinking straw. Start with the lightest color and end with the darkest. Here we used Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, and Tempting Turquoise, in that order. We covered the “drop spot” with a sentiment from the Work of Art stamp set.

…and look at what Caitlin did with it when she got home – she added some bling and made this beautiful Mother’s Day card! Caitlin is very talented and I’m really glad she’s part of our monthly club.
