I've got a video for you today!  This time it's a technique called COLOR SMASH that makes water coloring so much FUN!  I saw this idea on pinterest awhile back and thought it would be the perfect technique to showcase with OVER THE RAINBOW. As you can see, this technique allows you to layer colors onto your paper any way you like!  Below is the card I did when trying this for the first time, I used a bit less color and left more white space. I think I like this one that I made first better, which is your favorite??

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Bog Hop!!  All during June we are featuring different FUN FOLD CARDS and this week is the SHADOWBOX CARD!   You should be arriving from Mary Brown's amazing blog Stamper Camper's Corner , wasn't her card fabulous!!  If you are just starting out here, welcome and enjoy the ride!  Be sure to stop at each blog to check out all of the cool cards we have for you today. I used to do tons of this style card, I love how easy they are to make and they have a nice WOW factor to them.  I actually envisioned this card when I saw OVER THE RAINBOW in the new catalog.  I knew that the word "RAINBOW" would be just perfect for a shadowbox, what do you think?? Perfect rainbow, right??!!  The stamp has just the right curve to fit over an oval framelit! One of the coolest things about this shadowbox is that it folds flat and fits into an envelope easy peasy!  The card is built from two pieces of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card...

With all the rainy weather lately in Ohio, I needed a bit of a pick-me-up!  To the rescue was the FUN new stamp set OVER THE RAINBOW. This is one of those whimsical sets that you just can't help but smile about!  What inspired this happy design for today??  None other than the unique sketch at Try Stampin' -Or Not- On Tuesday. Isn't this a fun way to inspire creativity!  You can pick the photo or the sketch...or both!  I don't have anything beachy, so I used the sketch to bring my happy rainbow to life. As you can see, I did some serious paper piecing!  It took a bit of fussy cutting, but it was totally worth it! Clouds from Sprinkles of Life were a nice compliment and fit just right with a rainbow.  They were an easy addition, the coordinating punch meant no more fussy cutting for this card! Alright, now it's up to you to turn a little inspiration into a gorgeous card.  Why not give this week's sketch a try with me??  Just hop on over to Try Stampin' to ge...
