Mom wanted to give their new neighbor a hand-stamped card, so this is what I came up with. I thought watercoloring would be faster than coloring all three houses with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, but after using both methods, I think neither one is fast.
The sentiment is stamped with Really Rust on Pumpkin Pie. The narrow strip of Summer Sun above the sentiment was adhered by running it through the Xyron. The "washers" and brads at the bottom were made using a 1/4" circle punch and a 1/2" circle punch and attaching the brads in the middle.
Thanks for looking.

This card is really cute. I know what you mean about the coloring as I use this same stamp a lot and it is never quick to color! But you did a great job!

These colors and dp together are so cheerful. Your coloring is gorgeous (that's a given... I know I say that about your cards all the time). I love this layout, too... it's no neat how the circle is cut off on the edge. Great job, Shellie!
