Happy Happenings Watercolour CASE Card using an Acrylic Block as a Background stamp

Today is a Technique Thursday
I have CASED (Copy & Share Everything) from the Stampin' Up! Catalogue that launches 1st June.
The Catalogue is packed full with creative ideas, and I want to share as many of them with you all as possible.

And today's technique, covers both of my passions at the same time.

The Stamp Set is the Happy Happenings, From Stampin Up! and you can order all of the supplies used in today's project via my


The tutorial and video can be found by scrolling down today's Blog Post,

All you have to do is start following the board, and I so long as I can see on your own boards, that you are into or yearn to be into Papercraft, I will send you an invitation to join the board. 

The board is strictly for Papercraft Projects only
