May Stamp-a-Stack Cards

Here are 2 of the cards we made this month at my stamp-a-stack. The first one uses the Reinker Watercolor technique that was shown at the Seattle Regional. I was dying to try this, but don't have the Manhattan Rose that was shown to us. So I looked through my stamps and found my Embrace Life set - it turned out wonderfully!
Ingredients: Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine tango and Shimmery White c/s; Embrace Life Stamp set; Whisper White craft ink, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango and Summer Sun Classic ink or reinkers, Clear embossing powder, Heat tool, white organza ribbon and stampin' dimensionals.
Directions: Just stamp your image in Craft white ink on Shimmery White c/s then heat emboss. Once you have done this, spray the paper until it has puddles. Dip your Aquapainter in the ink and then touch it to the water on the c/s - the color will spread and disperse in the water. Add a couple more colors for a beautiful finish. You can either let the color air dry or use a paper towel and heat gun to dry it faster. Cut out and add to your card or project.

This next card was a fun birthday card. We used bright colors and the Big Shot.
Ingredients: Whisper White, Green Galore, Pink Passion and Pixie Pink c/s; Bitty Birthday and A Little Birthday Cheer stamp sets; Sizzix Big Shot and Big bold Cupcakes dies,Crimper, Stampin' Dimensionals, Crystal Affects, Scallop Edge Punch.
