Welcome back, stamping friends! I hope your week is going well; yes, I know it’s only Tuesday 😉
I’d like to share with you a card that I made for the WCC24 – Watercooler Challenge – this is a group of my friends, some who also participate in the Wacky Watercooler Blog Hops that I take part in; but all of us ‘hang out’ at our virtual water cooler on the Stampin’ Up! demo-only site, chit-chatting, sharing personal as well as business happenings and stories.
This sketch is made by a fellow B.C. girl, my friend Stefanie Pletscher!
Here is my card:
I used my Squares Framelits to cut the squares of Whisper White cardstock and Lullaby designer series paper. I stamped the images from the Wetlands set, using Memento Black ink, and coloured in the goose image using Aqua Painters and Old Olive, Tip Top Taupe (upcoming new In Colour) and Bermuda Bay inks. The sandpipers background was also coloured using Aqua Painters, along with Tip Top Taupe and Bermuda Bay inks.
I took a panel of Bermuda Bay cardstock, and stamped it with the splatter image from Gorgeous Grunge, in Bermuda Bay ink, for a tone-on-tone look. I then wound the Hemp Twine (retired) 3 times around the cardstock, then attached it to the card base of Baked Brown Sugar (counting down it’s last days before it’s gone for good!)using Stampin’ Dimensionals. After layering the stamped images on top of the DSP squares, I then used more Stampin’ Dimensionals to layer them over top of the Twine.
I hope you will go check out the fabulous inspiration cards made by the Watercooler Design Team – they are wonderful! Plus, you can have a look at the other cards submitted for this challenge. You can take part in it as well – you have until Friday to link your card! C’mon – play along; it’s fun! 🙂

Wonderful card, Deb. I love the way you’ve used the sketch, having the Canada Goose in the large square and then adding the Sandpipers in a small square. Nicely done! The bit of subtle watercolouring really adds an artistic touch as does the splatter effect in the background. Thanks so much for joining the Watercooler Challenge.
Thanks for your kind comments, Heidi! I love participating in the challenges; they always have me looking at my stamps in new ways.
Deborah, what a fun card! It looks like you have babies following the goose (ok, kind of ignoring the fact that they are different bird breeds!). Thank you for your lovely contribution to our Watercooler Challenge.
Great card, Deborah! I’m really going to miss that set. Thanks for playing!!
