Countdown to Confetti: Sneak Peek Key Words So Very Special {post2}

Hello, friends:}

****GIVEAWAY.
**Giveaway details below
***Please click HERE for my Paper Smooches SPARKS creation and post! 

Today the Reverse Confetti DT is sharing a sneak peek for the Key Words Collection: So Very Special stamp set, and I'm sharing a sneak of the Tag Me, Too Confetti Cuts. Be sure to stop by the RC blog for more inspiration and details! And be sure to stop by all the RC DT blogs for your chance to win!!! Details below! 

I created 2 simple birthday cards using this stamp set and die! I loooooooooooove being able to use just one stamp set for a card! For my first card, I used an old watercolor paper that I created (I was messing around trying to learn how to watercolor and saved this piece just in case I wanted to use it for another project! LOL!)! The watercoloring was made using  Tsukineko Radiant Neon Electric Yellow, Pink, and Coral pigment inks. LOOOOVE! 

For my second card, I went CAS again! I used a journaling card from Recollections and then die cut the sentiment using the NEW RC Tag Me, Too dies. LOVE!! It's perfect for just about anyone! 

Techniques used: I did "straighten" the first sentiment for this card--- it's REAL easy! I just carefully placed it on my acrylic block in a straight line instead of curving it. Then I masked the sentiment and stamped it on my card! 

You can see that this sentiment is straight and not curved--- love it! 

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the Reverse Confetti blog for more inspiration and details! And stop by the RC Facebook page and "like" us!! **Be sure to check out the "comment to win" promotion on FB!
