the Big News forum at Stamp TV a few days after the hops.
For my first card, I used Melanies new set A Year of Flowers 2. I think I have finally found my favorite way to color in these flowers! Design Memory Crafts Aquarelles. I heat embossed the flower with white cloud Versamagic and clear embossing powder. I then just scribbled my aquarelles randomly and went over with a wet brush. LOVE using them with these flowers- watch for more watercoloring. ;)
My next card uses Tami's All Occasion Tags 2. I have been into the navy/orange combo lately, and thought I would again use it here! I stamped the main label shape using Versamark onto my Kraft card base, and then adhered the patterned paper strip. I opted to just use the label stamp on a rectangle die cut, but you can use them with the coordinating Silhouette file found here.

Beautiful cards, AJ! Really love that tag background.

AJ, I love these! The edges on that first card...flippin' amazing!

Love the stamping on the kraft and the tiny frame and simple "hi".
So pretty!
Very nice cards. I'll have to try the flower technique.

Nicely done AJ. Your tag card can easily be a good masculine card which we find more difficult to make.

Very pretty cards.
Cute cards. I especially like the one done with the labels background.

Love the way you used Melanie's stamp set. What is an aquarelle? It looks great.
On the 2nd card I would never have thought to use "border" stamps, can't think of the right word. You have inspired me to make more use of them.

Thanks A.J. for the new coloring technique and the idea of the simple tag card. I only wish I could be so creative.
Does the cut file need to be purchased through Gina K. Designs' site or can they be purchased through the silhouette online store?
Those cards are great! I really like the colors you used on both of them.
W O W ! ! The coloring on the first card is bee-u-tee-ful. Thank you for using a rectangular die for cutting out the tag - it looks great.
