Bring Color to your World...

Hello and Happy, Happy Friday Everyone!

I've got a busy weekend going on -
We are doing a little traveling -
Actually the next few weekends, that's all I'll be doing!

I guess it's the best time to do it before it gets HOT!

I'm back with my LAST WATERCOLORING Project!!

I'm using Digital Images from Polka Dot Orchard Designs

She is an up and coming Digital artist and my friend -

So, of course, I had to play with her new designs!

FYI - I'm not a colorist by any means -

I just try my best to color how I like - 

and hope the people receiving these cards

get some type of enjoyment from them!

Here we go with today's Project -

I have to say... this one is my favorite out of all the
ones I shared this week - LOL  - GO Figure! 

I'm using my Zig Watercolor pens on all my

images this week. I'm also using Canson XL Watercolor

paper. Everything was printed out on my Laser Printer then

I sprayed it with Krylon Workable Fixatif.

All of my cards have Fun Foam for added dimension -

I sized the digital cup to about 3 3/4" and then die cut it
out with my Brother Scan N Cut Machine -

The Sentiment is from the
 Flowers in Bloom Digital Stamp Set

The Pretty Coffee Cup is from the
Good Morning Spring Digital Stamp Set

I'm using a Wonky Stitched Rectangle Frame Die 
and some Lucy's Card's gems to finish off my card -

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you ALL have a Fantastic Weekend!!!

Spread your Wings...

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I'm back to try my hand at:

WATERCOLORING!

Yup! all this week, I'll be sharing images

get some type of enjoyment from them!

Here we go with today's Project -

I'm not gonna lie - I STRUGGLED with this one -
WHY? I have no clue!!! The more I look at it
the more it's starting to grow on me... I Guess... 😌

I'm using my Zig Watercolor pens on all my

images this week. I'm also using Canson XL Watercolor

paper. Everything was printed out on my Laser Printer then

I sprayed it with Krylon Workable Fixatif.

All of my cards have Fun Foam for added dimension -

The Sentiment, Flowers, & Bird are from the
 Spread your Wings Digital Stamp Set

The best thing about Digital Stamps is that you
can Size them to whatever it is your working on -
I tend to do my Digital stamping in my Silhouette Program -
It makes it easy to drag & drop my images onto my
digital mat and then I size them to whatever card size
mat I'm using - I was even able to cut the "Thinking of You"
sentiment - The digital set shows it as a long sentiment -

Well, because of the way I was designing my layout
I needed to "cut" the pieces so they laid on top
of each other to fit in the one corner -

With regular stamps, I would have to cut my stamp up -
With digital stamps, I can do it without damaging anything!
Win! Win! 😁

I used my Stitched rectangle Frame die and some

Lucy's Card's clear gems to finish off my simple card -

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Fantastic Day!!!

Always in Bloom..

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone!

How was your weekend? How's the weather

in your neck of the woods? Mine was too quick

of course but the weather was beautiful! I do love

Springtime, it's my second Favorite Season! :)

So, over the weekend I thought I would

try my hand at doing something I'm not very good at -

WATERCOLORING!

Yup! all this week, I'll be sharing images

I watercolored over the weekend!

I'm using Digital Images from Polka Dot Orchard Designs

She is an up and coming Digital artist and my friend -

So, of course, I had to play with her new designs!

FYI - I'm not a colorist by any means -

I just try my best to color how I like - 

and hope the people receiving these cards

get some type of enjoyment from them!

Here we go with today's Project -

I decided to just use my Zig Watercolor pens on all my

images this week. I'm also using Canson XL Watercolor

paper. Everything was printed out on my Laser Printer then

I sprayed it with Krylon Workable Fixatif.

All of my cards have Fun Foam for added dimension -

The Sentiment and flower design is from the Good Morning Spring Digi Set

I enlarged the 2 flowers then shrunk down the other flower to

sit on top of them - I used 3 different shades of pink on the 

flowers and a water brush to blend them out -

I used a yellow pen for the centers & a green pen on the leaves

then used the water brush to blend them out as well.

I used my Stitched rectangle Frame die and some

Lucy's Card's gems to finish off my simple card -

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Fantastic Day!!!

Being You Foil...

Hello & Happy FRIDAY EVERYONE!!! EEK!

It's the Weekend and the LAST WEEKEND of MARCH! 

WHAT???

Can you believe it? We have beautiful Spring Weather and

we're heading into April!!! I can already feel the

Summer HEAT Creeping in where I live!! UGH!

While I'm pondering the last of the month and the weather this weekend

I thought I would show ya another lovely Foiled card I made!!

 Isn't this so Pretty????

I honestly can't remember where I got the floral design from -

I want to say my Silhouette Store... But Not Sure? I actually

didn't save the details for this one! Oops! 

 I do know it was printed out on my Laser Printer and I made several
copies of it for foiling! 

The Foil on the flowers is the Deco Foil Amethyst Watercolor (It's Beautiful foil)

I used a Lawn Fawn Stitched Square die to cut out my floral design

The Scallop Square Die is from Gina Marie and I cut that out with some

lovely Black Foil Cardstock I didn't know I had! NICE! 😁

The "Thanks" die & Sentiment are from MFT (Kind Thanks & Twice the Thanks Die)

I die cut the "thanks" 3x's and I added adhesive to both sides of the

top die layer of the word so I could add some Minc Silver Foil over it - 

I just rubbed the silver foil across the adhesive word and tada!! 

I decided I wanted a little more showing under the square foil scallop design

so I grabbed another Lawn Fawn Die called Windy Backdrop

just to add a little more interest - This die just leaves etching marks

no cutting was involved with this die - I attached the whole

card front piece to a black card base and added some Lucy's Cards Jewels

to finish off my Thank You card!

I struggled to get a good shot of this one, that's why I'm showing you 2
pictures... It's so elegant up close with the pretty shades
of purple and silver along with the black & white...

Thanks for stopping by today!
I hope you ALL have an 
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND!!
