The Gang’s all Meer….in the Desert

I made this card way back in January and never shared it, but now that I am in Phoenix…in the desert….where there at cacti (yes, that is the plural of cactus)….I thought it was an appropriate time to share.

This card uses one of the Sale-A-Bration items that you can receive for FREE with a $50 purchase called The Gang’s All Meer.

Isn’t that a super cute stamp set?  Just love those little Meerkat smiles!  I colored the Meerkats using Stampin’ Up!’s Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.  Stampin’ Up has two sets of Watercolor Pencils — the first one has 13 colors (more of the basic ones) and then the WaterColor Pencils Assortment 2 to give a greater variety of colors.

The Blender Pens come three to a package and have a special liquid that “magically erases” the lines that colored pencils have to give a smooth color that blends the lines.

I need to work on my coloring skills, as I do not feel as confident coloring with the pencils as I do with the Stampin’ Blends.  But I think the Watercolor Pencils give the Meerkats a more “furry” look.  My favorite part are the flowers on top of the cactus.  They look like tiny little fires aglow on top.

I hope you’ll give the Watercolor Pencils a try on your next project

…and if your next project is this card, this is what you will need:

• The Gang’s All Meer Stamp Set
• Layering Ovals Dies
• Corrugate Embossing Folder
• Early Espresso Cardstock – Cut 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” ; Score and fold at 4 1/4”
• Garden Green Cardstock – Cut 5 1/4” x 4”, plus a scrap for scalloped oval
• Whisper White Cardstock – Cut 5 1/8” x 3 7/8”, plus scraps for oval
• Soft Suede Cardstock – Cut 5 1/8” x  1 1/2”
• Watercolor Pencils and Watercolor Pencil Assortment 2

• Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
• Snail Adhesive or Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Happy Stamping!
