Loons

Hello friends.

If you are celebrating Labor Day, I hope  you are enjoying the day!

We've just returned from a couple days in the NC mountains

with our daughter and her family. So we are spending

a quiet Labor Day.

These loons were stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed.  They'd been

waiting patiently in that UFO box for their place on a card.

I had pulled them out thinking they would be good for our 

CAS Watercolour silhouette challenge 

but needed some watercolor to go with them.

I had this piece of watercolor wash in my background box and was

trying to figure out how to put them together when I saw this card

that my friend Julia had done.

She enabled me to zip over to Papertrey ink and check out this die.

Actually it was 2 dies.  And while I was there, I had to get some 

of their wonderful sentiment sets too.

I used the smaller die to cut a piece of the watercolor wash

and the larger die to emboss a piece of Neena.

Fortunately there was enough of a border left on the wash

to use as a narrow border.

Here's a close up of the wash. Doesn't it look like water?

CAS Mix Up

I have stamping, watercolor wash, heat embossing, dry embossing with a die and a die cut.

I'm thinking the loons qualify as critters.
