Hey all! I am starting a fun new series on my youtube channel where I am going to focus on one watercolour a week, and see some of the mixes it can create as well as all the other info on that colour! I thought I would share it here on my blog as well any maybe, it will help you choose what colours you want to play with in your art work and cardmaking adventures!

We are kicking things off with one of my most used and favorite colours I own, Quinacridone Coral (PR209).

Hey all! It is time for a new release over at Power Poppy! Today we have Boutiful Bouquet!

Power Poppy - Boutiful Bouquet - Jessie Banks.jpg

I took on my standard approach to all of Marcella’s wonderful florals! I printed this out on 140lbs hotpress watercolour paper and went at it with my paints. Focusing all the bright colours on the background. I was really feeling fall for this card. I kept the florats themselves fairly soft and delicate.

Make sure you pop over to the Power Poppy blog and see what everyone else has made!

The Greeting Farm – September Preview Day 2

Hey all! Today we have Brew It Anya to share with you all! I love coffee, and coffee themed anything!

The Greeting Farm - Brew it Anya

First, I coloured up this gorgeous Anya in the no lines style with my copic markers. Then game the background. I started by wanting just a splashy background. So I did that then went to bed for the night, when I looked at it in the morning it needed something, COFFEE RINGS! So I free handed them onto the splashy background with my watercolours, a few splatters of paint and this card was complete!

Make sure you check The Greeting Farm Blog to see what awesome projects the rest of the team created!
