Mary's note:   I am seriously considering purchasing the MDS2+ even tho I already have MDS and could upgrade it.   There are many digital items that I have not purchased and for the $50 approximate difference in price between the two software options (upgrade versus MDS2+), it just might be worthwhile for me to purchase the MDS2+ instead of just the upgrade.

Are  you thinking of becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator?  Would you like to become part of my team?  Stampin' Up! allows business demonstrators (those that are in to make money) and hobby demonstrators (those that join to get our discount on Stampin' Up! products).    The starter kit is normally $175, but during Sale-A-Bration it is only $125.   The kit value is over a $340 value of product and business supplies.  PLUS during Sale-A-Bration, anyone that joins as a demonstrator will receive a free paper pack or digital download every month for the rest of the year!!!!  You get your choice each month of which you would like to receive.  Let me know if you are interested (e-mail link at top of page) and I will e-mail you additional information with complete details.

If you look very closely you will see a larger label shadowing the floral label.  I sponged this on the card base plus sponged the edges of the card.   Doesn't show up as distinctly as I had hoped, but it is a very nice contrast and adds to the look of the card.

The last two days I have realized just how much I LOVE the in-color "pool party".  It works for cards for a baby, a man or a woman by not being too light or dark.   I've made 5 cards using it, and am very pleased with the results.

The Fleurette is white.  I used the Stampin' Write Marker to accent the fleurette with Rose Red.  The flowers of the stamped image were colored in using Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils.   The pencils can be used just like a regular color pencil, or you can use a Aqua Painter or Blender Pen to give them the watercolor effect.   Remember if you are creating the watercolor effect, you will want to be sure to use a waterproof ink:
