Mother Love

Hey everyone! It’s new release day over at Whimsy Stamps! I have used the sentiment set Mother Love for my  card to share with you today… well actually I made two of them!

Jessie - Mother Love 2

I really do love making these super simple cards with just a little watercolour and a fantastic sentiment and this set was perfect for just that!

Jessie - Mother love

So I did it twice, with two different kinds of watercolour paper achieving two completely different looks. The first card was on Arches Coldpress paper, and the second was on BeePaper.

Planning for Magnolias

Hey everyone Jessie here today sharing another watercolour card for Power Poppy with you all today! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it! I am thrilled that I will now be able to share an Inspire me Monday post with you all every month!
I stamped out the branch of flowers from the Planning For Magnolias stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black ink on Fluid watercolour paper. I painted the image with my Schmincke and Daniel Smith watercolours (there is a process video for you here in this post.) After everything was nice and dry I stamped the sentiment from the Prairie Cheer Set!
I have recently created a facebook group, that the wonderful Marcella told me to share with you all! The group is called Cards and Colour! In the group I am doing one or two live colouring events a month using different colouring mediums (There is even one coming up for Power Poppy, shhhh!!) It’s also a place where we chat about different things with colouring and stamping and share everyone’s wonderful makes, I would love you to come join us!
Now that is enough of my babbling and on to sharing the video!

It’s that time of the month again!!! C.C. Designs Previews are coming your way, and as always this release will not disappoint!

cc-cinnamon-paints

I have been on a crazy watercolour kick lately and I thought since the darling Cinnamon was painting a rainbow I should paint her.

I used my Schmincke, Daniel Smith and Golden Qor watercolours to paint up Cinnamon Paints, I added a sentiment from the Lucky Rainbow Sentiment set, added the pannel to a card base and there she is!

Power Poppy – Sweet Pea

Hey everyone! Today I have a new release image for Power Poppy, this one is called Sweet Pea and it is a Digital Stamp!

PPJAN1701D_SweetPeaShow.gif

I chose to do my typical thing and  blew the image up and cropped it onto a A2 size card front! I coloured the image with everything I could imagine, watercolours, Copics, coloured pencils and gouache!

This image is so lovely and I cant wait to print it up again, I think I would like to do it in more subdued colours!
