Recently I was asked to do a Watercoloring class and use a stamp set that I haven't used in years. Since I don't usually use retired sets in classes I had to dig the stamps out from the shelving I call the "Stamp Grave Yard" (because once they go there, they may not see daylight for ever!) and created this card. I like the earthy feel of this card, which we watercolored using (also upon request) Watercolor Pencils. I know that Stampin Up! no longer carries these, however they can be purchased at just about any local craft store in the Art Department. After coloring the image with the pencils, we used Blender Pens to blend the colors together, and I think the result was fitting to the feel of the card. The wood grain background, torn cardstock edges, natural ribbon and wood button gives it a very masculine feel.
