Tutorial of the Week: Versamark Watercoloring by Melanie Muenchinger from Hands, Head and Heart
This tutorial really grabbed me because you can't see the stamped lines -- this looks like you actually watercolored the image! Faking that I'm that good really pushes all the right buttons :D Click on over to Melanie's blog for step by step directions on how to pull this awesome technique off.
Runner Up: Icosahedron Ornament by Amy from Tethered 2 Home
How fun is this!?! Love it! Amy shows you how to take make this out of just paper and tape! (She uses a Big Shot, but you could certainly pull this off with a circle punch and a bone folder!) Think how great this would be with photos....
Runner Up: Decorative Circle by Faith Hofrichter from Stampin' With Markie's Mom
Isn't this card awesome?! The circle really grabbed me and I thought it was some new punch or die, but it turns out to be a decorative corner rounder! (One I already have too!) Click on over and Faith will walk you through making this for yourself. (This is another time I think you could easily make this a photo frame...)
