Thursday’s Way to use it challenge was fun! It was called “It’s in the Notes”. We were to be inspired by Music. While doing my morning chores I was thinking what sets I have and what would work for that challenge. Then the Rocket from Pun Fun popped into my mind along with Elton Johns’ “Rocket Man”. I was singing that song in my head all day Thursday.
I started by deciding what Designer paper I wanted to use with the stamp.
I picked the striped paper from the Western Sky Designer paper and picked my colors from that paper.
The Rocket was stamped in Black StazOn on a 2″ x 2 1/4″ piece of Watercolor Paper.
I colored it in with Aqua Painter and Classic inks (River Rock, Blue Bayou, Ruby Red and Soft Sky).
I layered the watercolor paper on a 1/4″ bigger sponged piece of Blue Bayou cardstock and paper pierced the edges.
My card base was a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of textures Soft Sky cardstock. I cut 1″ off the front of the card and layered the inside of it with a 4″ square of Ruby Red. I liked how the red of the inside peeked out.
The top of the card front was layered with a 3″ x 4″ piece of the Western Sky Designer paper. I added a 1/4″ x 4″ strip of paper pierced white cardstock on the lower part of it and tied Double Stitched Blue Bayou ribbon over it.
For my accents I punched three small stars out of Ruby Red cardstock. I sponged all three, layered them with 1/4″ River Rock circles and added a black brad in each center.
The top right corner looked a little empty so I added a double Photo corner out of sponged Blue Bayou and sponged Ruby Red cardstock. The photo corner were topped with three black brads.

Way too cute! Thanks for sharing.
I love it! The layout is great, the colors fabulous and, as a new baby boy has just joined the family this week, I’m really in the market for fun color combos for the little boy birthday cards, etc. that are now in my future. Thanks for sharing.
This is a gorgeous card!!! And I always sing Rocket Man when I use this set as well! I even used it as a page title for a scrapbook layout about my son and his toy rocket!
I am so inspired that I am going to have to take my Pun Fun set back out!!
This is sooo fun! I love the layout and the colors, so happy and cheerful. Great accents with the stars and your coloring is beautiful! Have a super weekend. 🙂 Denise
I love how you accented the stars with the circle and brad–so simple, but what a great detail!
You’ve made me want this set now and I thought it was one I didn’t need!!! LOL Try as I might at just can’t get the beautiful watercolored results you do with the aqua painter and I really want to be able to do that! 🙁 I can get nice results with the Prisma color pencils but the painting with our inks just seems to be beyond me. I need to do a search and see if you have a tutorial on watercoloring. As always your work is beautiful, thank you for sharing.

Thanks for showing all of your awesome cards!!
Oh I LOVE this, Beate! What a fabulous card! I’ll have to check out this challenge. It sounds right up my alley with the music!
I’ve just ordered Pun Fun and the star punch so I can’t wait for them to come. You and Corrine have had such cute samples with this set. I’d love to see more for inspiration. I can’t wait to start playing!

Oh my…. this is stinkin cute and I wasn’t even a fan of that set. When I get a little of your talent I wil send you some cards but for now they would just be a let down. I don’t have the talent you do. What I think amazes me the most is your watercoloring skills. Mine never come out as good, any tips you can share with use on what you do? Love ya!
I love this card. I can’t wait until I’m home from the hospital so I can try some different things with my cards. My husband thinks I have enough things here already! Love your ideas. Thanks for sharing them.
