If By Party You Mean Stay Home and Paint...

Hey crafty friends! Do you like to party? I'm pretty sure you like to party the same way I do . . .by doing something creative or crafty (preferably while in your pajamas and eating chocolate, but that's besides the point.) If your idea of a party is being artsy, you'll LOVE the stamps on today's card! They were made just for us!

I like to party if by party you mean stay home and paint. How absolutely adorable is that sentiment? This stamp is part of the February release at Impression Obsession, along with some other darling crafty/artsy images and sentiments. 

Today the design team at IO is celebrating this month's release with a Favorites blog hop where we're sharing our favorite project from the release. I have a LOT of favorites for this month, but today we'll look at this fun watercolor card.

To begin this card, I stamped the watercolor palette and brush (it's all one large stamp - so cool, right?) onto watercolor paper. I used my MISTI for this so I could get a nice dark impression even on the textured paper. (I'm fairly new to the MISTI, but that's one of my favorite uses for it so far - being able to restamp in the same spot for a really inky impression.)

After I stamped the image, I just had a whole lot of fun with watercolor. I used my favorite watercolor tin and loosely painted the sections of the palette and then added some colorful spots of color all over the card. I finished it off with a splatter of Sparkle Silk

A stamped sentiment and a little scrap of patterned paper finished off the card - this card was so simple and fun to create. (Which I'd like to add, PROVES the statement - that staying home and painting IS my kind of party!)
