You and Me

First things first, I did not hear back from ShawnfromMN, so I have gone to random.org and the new winner of Robo Love from Market Street Stamps is:
Vanessa
Yay, for Vanessa! If you could email me at albertsdob@gmail.com I can get your stamp off you you!!!
Next, here is a brand new card that I made using Bit of Burlap and Of the Same Tree. I love how this came out! I also used my Copic markers and did a watercolor technique. How I did that was, I colored the stamp with G99 for the leaves and E47 for the trunk. I then used a MiniMister filled with Colorless Blender and spritzed it a couple times, then quickly stamped onto the paper. I love, love, love how the colors in the markers shifted and blended. Even though it was a pain in the rear to clean the stamp off (using the Colorless Blender in the Minimister), I am amazed with the results.
Of the Same Tree is the perfect kind of stamp to do this technique. It helps to have more of a solid stamp for the spritz to really move the color around.
Well, I hope you enjoyed, and I will be back tomorrow with a few projects that will finish up what I did for the December kit.
