Green Pastures

Posted in Uncategorized by

Hey friends! Today I am sharing a card and video I made using products from My Favorite Things that I have never used before!

Now, unfortunately, the Green Pastures stamp set has been retired again, it came back in January of 2020 and I had to pick it up because I do live in a small farming community in Saskatchewan. Seriously there is like 400 people where I live.

So I coloured the little lady up with copics, I also used my markers to add shading to the die cuts and give them a little more life! I also created the background with Distress Inks and Oxides using some stencils from MFT, they are one of my favorite companies to pick up stencils from, so great for scene building!

Altenew Super Sale Weekend (freebie stamp project)

Posted in Uncategorized by

Hey all! Today I have a sweet little giftbag project, with video to share with you all! This little stamp was one of the freebies for Altenew Super Sale Weekend!

I got to play with the Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers for the first time on this little parcel, and this tiny little poppy stamp is amazing. I found it adorable to paint up and the sentiment was so fitting for what is going on in the world right now.

I hope you enjow watching the process of me making this sweet little gift bag!

Altenew + The Daily Marker Watercolor Therapy Blog Hop & Giveaway

Posted in Altenew, Watercolor by

Hey friends, I am thrilled to be playing along with this great blog hop, combining Altenew and The Daily Marker for some watercolor therapy! You can find the start of this hop over at Altenew!

Kathy Racoosin (The Daily Marker) is celebrating her 18th colouring challenge until November 22, 2020. Feel free to jump in and participate along with us, and so many others. The best thing about this challenge is that you don’t have to start at the beginning, you don’t have to do a big project everyday, just do a little colouring and destress!

I pulled out the Pen Sketched Flowers Stamp Set for this one, creating a tall slimline card. I pilled out both the 23 half pan watercolors and the 24 half pan watercolours, took them upstairs to my couch and just enjoyed painting. Sometimes I love that a tv show, that I am not really watching, and just painting for the fun of it without filming. Especially when working on a Kathy Racoosin challenge where that is the whole point, to destress!

Once I had all the painting done, I stamped out the simple little sentiment, adhered it to a cardbase and this one was complete! I have had the Pen Sketched Flowers Stamp Set in my stash sense it came out, and have never used it so this was perfect!

Always Bring a Smile

Posted in Uncategorized by

Hey everyone! I know I have not been around much, I have been dealing with a 2 1/2 month long allergic reaction, that lead to my eyes being swollen shut for what seemed like forever! Covid has my Doctor not seeing patients and blah blah blah I will survive and get off my soap box now!

So for today’s post, I have been collecting (and by collecting I mean not using cuz they intimidate me) all the sets by Stacey Yacula for My Favorite things. Well this weekend that changed. I pulled out my watercolours and the Always Bring a Smile set and went to town.

I painted up these sweet little scene with my Mexico Palette. It really is my most used one, even almost an entire year later.
