Happy morning! It's my weekend with watercolors. Because the Tulip Floral Set 6061 is so lovely, I made extra cards to paint the beautiful flowers, so this month I made more than two cards. I adore the 6066 Classic Truck Foundation. Vintage trucks have always been a favorite of mine.  Tombow Markers: 403, 126, 565, 969, 856, 947, 679, 177, 899, 515, 817, and 947 I began by taping off the edges of my truck card to ensure that the painting would be 3 by 4. I then die-cut the painting with a stitching die so I could stitch around the edges. I wrapped a thin blue ribbon around the front of the card and mounted it on matching cardstock. The Little Things Sentiment Set 5797 collection includes this sentiment. I die-cut the banner using a die from the Journal Template Die Set 5543 and then embellished it with pearls. _____________________ Tombow Markers: 158, 098, 177, 228, 603, 673, 401, 553, 062, 025, and 946 The following three cards were all made in the same way. I used the Circle Dou...

Happy Watercolor Weekend! Tomorrow is Memorial Day, and I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend.  I have been working on a surprise book for my grandson and daughter-in-law featuring Winnie the Pooh, which makes me invested in all things honey and bees. Consequently, I had to create a card using the Gnomes Set 5785, transforming the flowerpot into a honey pot. I love how the card turned out. If you have honey, you have bees, and the swarm of bees comes from the Birds and Bugs set 5561. I decided to add a bee balloon using a bee from the Honey Bee set 5925. The sentiment also came from the Honey Bee set. The Tombow markers used are the following: 025, 817, 515, 969, 565, 947, N75, N65, N55, 603, 177, 098 ____________________________ For my second card, I used the Blooming Windows set 5408.  It is such a beautiful stamp set. I love that the potted tulips have a separate die for added dimension. I used a press plate to add texture to the front piece of cardstock, aiming...

  Good morning! I love my turn for Watercolor Weekend.  _____________________ My first card features an old barn with sheep grazing in the pasture below. I began by stamping the barn using Tombow markers 565 and 969, stamping off twice. Next, I determined the placement of the fences and where the sheep would graze. I stamped the sheep with the Archival Shadow Grey ink pad to preserve the details in the stamps. I added color and texture with the flowers and rocks included in the Fear Not stamp set. Lastly, I hand-drew the mountains in the background. For the final touch, I used Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White to add some small flowers and highlights. Tombow markers used: 856, 969, 565, 177, 269, 977, 992, N45, N55, N65, 761, 817, 515, and 126. ____________________ I know that Easter was last weekend, but I had this card prepared in advance and still wanted to share it with all of you.  This card took a bit more time, but I love how it turned out. First, I cut out the "E...

  ___________________________ Happy watercolor weekend! I love pastel spring colors, and I had so much fun making my cards this month.  I applied the same method to each card. I started by stamping with Tombow markers 565 and 969. Then, I stamped off once onto a scrap piece of watercolor paper and painted all four cards using the same markers. For the chicken coop, I stamped various items from the set onto watercolor paper and painted them with markers. After everything was painted, I die-cut the pieces. I used the polka dot paper from 6009, Basic Green paper pack, for the grass. I utilized various dies from my collection to add details to the card. Once all the die cuts were glued down or popped up, I added some tiny rhinestones to the flowers. This stamp set is so cute, and I adore the tiny chicks! Tombow markers used for all of the cards are as follows: 969, 992, 565, 025, 623, 723, 195, 817, 401, 491, 177, and 636   _____________________ For my next three cards, I use...

Hello, Watercolor Weekend friends! Can you tell by my cards that I am ready for spring weather? I love living in Ohio and enjoying the snow, but it has been very cold, and the snow has lingered long enough! For my first card, I created a sleeping gnome nestled in a spring wreath, with a cute bird helping to decorate it.  These are the stamp sets I used: 5785 - Gnomes, 5475 - WC Flower Set, 4868 WC Flower Set  2, 4964—WC Branches, 5476—WC Foliage Set 5, 4052—Flower Set, 5274—Easter Bunnies (bluebird) First, I stamped the wreath and used a stamp positioner to add the sleeping gnome using Tombow markers 565 and 969. I stamped off twice. Next, I incorporated the foliage and flowers. Finally, I stamped the bird and painted a bow. I die-cut the finished artwork using the 5065-Stitched Oval dies. The floral paper is from the adorable 5939-Fairy Garden paper pack. For the purple lace, I used the new 5972-Bible Journaling Decorative Dies. The sentiment comes from the 5867-Mini Easter S...

Happy watercolor weekend! For my first card, I stitched a snowflake while visiting my family during Christmas. When I got home, I decided I needed a cute little snowman and some smaller snowflakes to complement it. The Chubby Snowman Set (5351) and the Snowflake Frame Set (5782) were perfect choices. I painted the snowman using Tombow markers in the following colors: 312, 565, 969, 879, 977, 850, 025, 526, 933, 856, N55, and N75. I selected the Winter Woodland collection for the paper used inside and outside the card. I die-cut the snowflakes from silver foil and blue paper. I included sentiments from the Christmas Sentiments Set (5566) inside the card. To add more detail, I incorporated additional snowflakes and a decorative edge to the Winter Woodland paper pack. For the final touch, I used Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White to add highlights to the snowman. --- For my second card, I wanted to create a cute animal-themed Valentine's card. The Lovable Animals stamp set with di...

  I’m so happy to be back making cards! It feels like it’s been forever since I had the opportunity to create one.  I drew inspiration from creative people on the internet who use metal cookie cutters as outlines to make quick Christmas cards. While my card wasn’t quick, I enjoyed every minute of the process! To begin, I lightly outlined the cookie cutter shape with a pencil on watercolor paper.  Then, I stamped my image inside the ornament with a waterproof black stamp pad. At first, I wasn't sure where I wanted to take the card, so I started by painting the images from the Mini Christmas Village Set.  I made a mask using computer paper to act as a stencil for sponging the edges of the ornament.  I have included a photo below. Next, I painted freehand details on the ornament using metallic watercolor paints.  I used the Watercolor Mini Wreath Set and the Watercolor Branches Set to paint in pine branches for the greenery.  I also used Dr. Ph Martin's w...
