I created a circular window frame using one of the Nested Circle dies and matted the coffee cup with Soft Navy cardstock and Echo Park pattern paper. The sentiment is from the For All Moms stamp set.

This next card uses the Bouquet of Roses stencil included in the kit. I blended distress oxide inks for the color and then die cut the panel with one of the Stitched Rectangle dies.

Video Hop on Water Media Mat

Hi there! Today I’m joining Waffle Flower for a video hop to showcase their amazing new Water Media Mat. I have been able to play around with this mat for a few weeks now and can honestly say that I love it!

Waffle Flower-Sweet Ice Cream

I’ve created a project using the adorable Sweet Ice Cream stamp set by Waffle Flower. I stamped the images with Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto Bristol and colored the images in using Zig Clean Color Markers. Using the Water Media Mat was a dream. I scribbled a bit of color onto the mat, picked it up with a water brush and simply painted the images. Coming from a Copic lovin’ gal, I gotta say, this new type of media has me hooked!

Waffle Flower-Sweet Ice Cream

I popped the painted panel over some Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper and added a few Nuvo Jewel drops for embellishment.
