Spring Edition 2013 *Day 3*

This bookmark was created by combining 30-109 Spring Wishes (BTW- totally love the sentiments in this set) with my Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Art Grip Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils.  The bright orange ribbon is by Ribbons Unlimited.  I'm thinking I might layer this onto a bright blue notecard as I really don't need many bookmarks for my Kindle... :)

HUGS!

Spring Edition 2013 *Day 2*

Today, I'm playing with my favorite set of the new release, 30-152 Garden Critters. I colored the image with Copic markers, choosing colors to match the ombre ribbon by Ribbons Unlimited. The background was created by repeatedly stamping the chevron image from Penny Black 30-114 Puzzle Parts.

Thanks for popping by!

Spring Edition 2013 *Day 1*

Last week, Penny Black revealed 4 new T for Transparent sets as part of their new spring collection.  I'll be sharing my creations using these sets over the next few days.

This first card features 30-166 Lulu Spring. I colored Lulu with copic markers, cut her out, and then layered with Distress Inked paper and a page from the Madison designer paper pad.

Thanks for visiting! 

See you tomorrow with another springtime creation!

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

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!
