Springtime Makeover PB&J Video

For today's PB&J video tutorial I've used a new Penny Black set, 30-152 Garden Critters, to give a set of winter cards a springtime makeover!

Here's a look at my wintery inspiration, a set of three Penny Black Les Petite cards:

And here's today's makeover using new springtime stamps:

Thanks for hopping by! :)
Edited to Add: I've had several questions on what type of watercolor paper I am using so I thought it might be easiest to update here-- Strathmore, cold press, 140 lb. It came in a 15 x 11 inch pad.  

PB&J Video Tutorial

I finally have a moment for blogging so I wanted to share last week's PB&J video tutorial. I sure loved using Tsukineko VersaMagic ink to stamp the backgrounds on these ATCs.

You can view the video on the Penny Black blog HERE.

Thanks for visiting!

Lots of Creating!

There's been lots of creating around here lately---just the way I like it. :)
I had way too much fun making these cards...

You can find all of the details and additional photos HERE.

And this weekend I had the pleasure of hosting my mom and nieces for a morning of mixed media fun.  I am so impressed by the creations of all three!  Here's what they created on their 4 x 4 canvases...

Created by Emma, age 11

Created by Mary, aka Mom and Grandma :)

Thanks to all three for letting me share their beautiful artwork!

Week of Watercolor *Day 5*

Happy Friday, my friends! I hope you've enjoyed this week of watercolor as much as me.  Today I leave you with a bit of a teaser... one more watercolor card that you will find on the Faber-Castell blog very soon! (Don't worry, I'll be sure to link you over when it's up!) :)

Oh, and if you love the watercolor look as much as me, you might find some inspiration on my watercolor Pinterest board HERE.  I'm not the only one addicted to Pinterest; right? :)

Have a great weekend!

Week of Watercolor *Day 4*

Penny Black 2422J Blue Wings is the perfect butterfly for water coloring...

And I have to admit, I think the coloring around the images is my favorite part to do!

As always, I appreciate your visits...HUGS!

Week of Watercolor *Day 3*

You know I always love me a butterfly... or 7!

Oh yeah, you might want to look at this one with the sunglasses on...

Thanks for your visit today!

Week of Watercolor *Day 2*

Today I stamped a field of poppies using Penny Black 30-155 Blooming Garden and then added the sentiment, Penny Black 30-160 Friendship.

On the orange poppies I layered a second layer of color on top of the lighter yellow once it was dry.  I like how this added to the puddle-y charm of the watercolor look.

Have a great day!
