One of the things that I most love about attending Stampin’ Up’s annual convention is seeing friends that I usually only get to see electronically during the rest of the year. Our group does a swap and dinner each year and I always look forward to it. It’s such a great group of women, and they happen to be talented stampers as well.
This is the card I made for our swap using the You’re Sublime stamp set.
I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set for the background, and I watercolored Mr. Crab with Real Red and So Saffron ink. I added some gold metallic thread (because I am completely addicted to this stuff) and some punched Gold Foil stars from the Confetti Stars Border Punch and a gold star sequin. The dsp is from Everyday Chic.
This crab makes me smile, so it wasn’t too hard to make 30 of these cards. Even after coloring him that many times I still think he’s cute.
Enjoy your Friday! Thanks for stopping by!
