If you are looking for something crafty to do this weekend from the comfort of your own home, I hope you'll check out the FREE Stamp-a-Faire event over at PapertreyInk! We've got a fun theme this year:
And if you put in an order with Papertrey Ink on Saturday, August 23rd, Stamp-a-Faire day, of $100 or more, you'll get this awesome stamp set for free, Filled With Joy, that I used on these two cards! Be sure to visit Nichole's blog for all of the pertinent information you'll need to earn your free set.
Let me tell you a little bit about my cards made with
Filled With Joy. First, I began with a piece of watercolor paper and stamped the large leaf several times to create this "wreath" effect with Soft Stone ink.
Then I stamped and trimmed out two of the flowers to layer in the center, with a sentiment from
Filled With Joy. I added some
rainstones from the boutique. Last, I watercolored the background around the finished image with a TINY bit of yellow watercolor paint and water mixed together.
The second card has the same layout, just a slightly different sentiment and colors that I chose. You could do any color scheme with this!
One more thing I did to the flower in the center was trim around every other petal to make them pop up a little bit.

So pretty. Love how you've changed the look by using different colours. It's going to be an interesting weekend...
Beautiful cards! Love the wreaths you created!!
I love it. The color combination really makes it pop
Wow! Thanks for bringing joy to my day.
Danielle, these are gorgeous. Recently bought watercolor paper and have yet to find time to use it. You are just the inspiration I need (hopefully).
Beautiful cards Danielle. I love your wreath bases and your touch of water coloring around each. Am especially happy to see soft stone, now that it is back in stock at PTI!
Danielle - Your cards certainly show the versatility of this stamp set - Love both of them.
Such a beautiful layout with this set!!
