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.

Magical Friends

Posted in Schmincke, The Greeting Farm, Uncategorized, Watercolor by
Hey everyone!I am here today, sharing some sweet little pony/unicorn (with no horn) post with you all today!
I pulled out the sweet Magical Friends set, with some fun unicorn images in it! I am sure you all know I have a watercolor obsession, so I pulled out my neglected Schmincke set to paint this little scene up.

I drew in the tree in the background with a water soluble pencil, then painted everything up. I love the simplicity of this little card.

Sketched Flowers

Hey all! I have lots of things and goals I want to accomplish this year, and part of it is branching out and working with other companies. So today I decided to play along with Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge. This weeks theme is Something New, which made it pretty easy.

I pulled out a brand new set, that I haven’t used yet from Simon Says Stamps called Sketched Flowers. I also used a new watercolor to me Daniel Smith’s Sleeping Beauty Turquoise.

I had so much fun painting this piece and playing with some colours I haven’t used much, or at all before.
