STAEDTLER! And we're so happy to have them play along with us! I hope you've enjoyed viewing our various projects and found a little inspiration along the way. Today I have two projects for you, both are pretty simple.

For my first card, I pulled out my watercolor crayons. I have used a few other brands of these and I have to say, these are the absolute best! They go on so smooth and creamy and they just blend beautifully.
I love the color vibrancy of the crayons, look at how bright and happy the colors look! Aren't they great! For this card I used the Stampendous Steaming On Balloon stamped with Archival Ink on Strathmore Mixed Media paper. The patterned papers are Fancy Pants Designs Childish Things and My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary's Jack and Jill. The card base is Bazzill, the buttons are from my stash and the ribbon is May Arts.
For the second card, I used the watercolor pencils. Yep! I love those, too! I used the new Air Scapes Perfectly Clear™ Stamps. I love this set, such a sweet vintage feel! Like the other card, I used Archival Ink on Strathmore Mixed Media paper. My card base is green cardstock of unknown origin, the patterned paper is My Mind's Eye Vanity Fair. The ribbon is May Arts.
This is the final day of our blog collaboration and I've really enjoyed our time together! There are prizes, too! That's right, you heard me! Prizes!!
1 Set of 6 Triplus fineliners, pastel assortment
4 blocks of FIMO soft oven-bake clay in vanilla, peach, lilac and mint
1 Mars plastic eraser
1 Double hole metal pencil sharpener
1 Mars Lumograph sketch pencil
1 Pigment liner sketch pen
2 Creative idea brochures
