The Occasions/Spring Catalog will be out in early January, but I earned some products from this catalog back in September, and I would like to share some simple and pretty cards with you today that are made using the Happy Watercolor stamp set and the Watercolor Wonder Note Cards. I can't link you to these new products in my store since they are not available yet. But I've linked a few current items (like ink colors and adhesives) at the bottom of my post.

What in the world is ikat?
Ikat (prounounced "eee-kot") is an Indonesian word that means both the weaving technique and the resulting fabric. Prior to weaving, the skeins of thread or yarn are bound with dye-resistant bindings and then dyed in bright colors (think tie-dye, only in this case the threads are dyed instead of the finished cloth). When the threads are woven, the undyed parts work into elaborate geometrical patterns. The origins of the technique are lost to history, as it has appeared all over the world, from Central America, to Japan, to India, and many other countries.
