Easy Tips for Using Watercolor Crayons!

Roses, roses, roses! So many varieties and colors. This month our Greenhouse Society stamp set features a beautiful Ruffled Rose. This image of a rose in full bloom has flat petals that are perfect for many different coloring techniques and mediums.

Watch this video to see how Technique Tuesday's Tam uses watercolor crayons to layer color and create dimension. She also shows you how to add shadows to the leaves using shades of blue. Her finished rose is so realistic you can almost smell the sweet fragrance!

A Pretty Handmade Card for Valentine's Day

Hi all!

Looking for some Valentine's Day card inspiration? We've got you covered.

Here's a fun card idea from Technique Tuesday's Shelley Goff.

So pretty and classy! You agree?

This card packs a lot of punch with those metallic words and charms. Even though they look like real metal embellishments, they really aren't! They were cut from metallic and glitter papers with the Charming Hearts and Long Love steel dies. So cool!  

A fun trick for the dies is you can use them on their own or you can pair them together like Shelley did. The charms can easily be hung on the love words!

You'll find more fun ideas for Valentine's Day, anniversaries and other love-themed occasions on the Technique Tuesday website. Be sure to check out our Idea Gallery.
