Let’s Stick Together

Posted in Daniel Smith, My Favorite Things, Watercolor by

Hey all! Today I am back with some more watercolouring! It has kinda become my obsession lately!

I stamped them out with Tea Dye Distress Ink, then used my Mexico palette to paint this one up, I am so happy with how soft the colours came out, and how stamping in light ink and not adding the character faces back in creates suck a different look from this stamp set.

I always start with a light wash of colour, just to get rid of the white of the paper, and ease the intimidation of painting it! I love working in light layers of colours over dry paper.

I then slowly worked my way across the cacti, addint layers of greens and yellows and building up the depth till I got to the finished card!

I chose not to stamp a sentiment on the card front and add it to the inside, when I decide who I am giving it to and what sentiment I need.

MFT Stamps and Posca Paint Markers

Posted in My Favorite Things, Posca Paint Markers, Youtube by

Hey all! I have been on this kick of playing with new things, changing up my cards and using things that have been in my stash forever and not used.

With that in mind today’s card is incorporating Posca Paint Markers into my card making!

I started with some pre copic colored images using MFT Sending Sweet Celebration Wishes, and creating a background. I do have a process video of the background!

You Gnome Me

Posted in Caran D'ache, colored pencil, Luminance, My Favorite Things by

I have been playing with all sorts of things I have had in my collection for a long time, that have been neglected or not used at all!

So today I have my first card from my stash to share today! Today I pulled out the You Gnome Me set from MFT and kept it monocromatic with some blue pencils from my Luminance stash!

I really love the look on toned grey paper, I love seeing how much shade variation I can get while using the same pencils all the way thru.

Cute Chemists

Posted in My Favorite Things, Watercolor by

Hey everyone! Here is my second entry to the MFT Stamps Card Design Superstar, this one is for the Coloring Virtuoso!

I pulled out the Cute Chemists stamp set and stamped the little guy and the puff of smoke in distress ink so it disappeared as I watercoloured this guy up. I have been loving watercolouring for quite some time, and am finally feeling fairly confident with it.

Slowly building up all the layers to bring this guy to life. then adding some additional smoke in behind him. He turned out ever so perfect!

Drink Up the Sunshine

Posted in CLean and simple, Copic, distress ink, My Favorite Things, Uncategorized by

Hey everyone! Today I am starting the day off sharing my entry for MFT Card Design Superstar Clean and Simple Genius category.

I started out by colouring the little girl up with my copic markers. Then adding the finishing details with my black coloured pencil. Once she was cut out I created some sweet little waves using Make Waves stencil and distress ink. Embossing the sentiment from the same Drink up the Sunshine stamp set on black cardstock and couple enamel dots finished off this sweet little CAS Card.

Friends with Fins

Posted in distress ink, Distress Oxide, My Favorite Things, Schmincke, Uncategorized, Watercolor by

Hey everyone! Today I have a sweet little fish card. Using some My Favorite things products!

I pulled out my Schminke watercolours and painted up all the fish in the Friends with Fins stamp set. I stamped them out with Distress Ink Antique Linen. Then I fussy cut them all out once they were painted.

The background started with a blend from light to dark blues. Adding the white rays over the top with the pigment ink, then giving it a bit of a finished edge with the brown distress oxide.

Adding a few sequins and tiny enamel dots finished off this card.

Bring out the Sunshine

Posted in Caran D'ache, colored pencil, Faber- Castell, My Favorite Things, Polychromos by

Hey everyone! I have been doing tons of colouring lately. But not a lot that I can show… yet!

So for today, I pulled out the Bring Out The Sunshine set from My Favorite Things, and coloured her up on Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. I haven’t coloured up anything on kraft cardstock in a long time.

I recently purchased a set of 20 Caran D’ache Luminance coloured pencils, and 4 additional colours to that. So I mixed them with my Polychromos to colour up this little lady.

My verdict on the Luminance pencils after their first use… I will be buying more. Lol I am an art supply junkie!

Bring Out The Sunshine

Posted in CLean and simple, Copic, My Favorite Things by

Hey everyone! It is another season the Kathy Racoosin’s The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I love trying to make a project everyday for 30 days, even if I fail at the completed project everyday, I do get some colouring done everyday. Which, after all, is the point.

So for today’s card I used a stamp from MFT called Bring Out The Sunshine. I love MFT, we all know this but I have a great time playing with them regularly!

So, I am still on this super clean and simple card kick. For this one I did some no lines colouring, adding a little grass at her feet. the sentiment at the bottom and a little twine at the top finished off this sweet little card!

I started by stamping and masking out the pig and the sentiment. Masking it off I then embossed the raindrops, followed by inkblending the background. Then went at the image with my copic markers. But check out my complete process video!
