Spring Edition 2013 *Day 4*

pennyblack_springedition

Last week I shared a PB&J quick tip video on the Penny Black blog, demonstrating a watercolor technique for coloring the cute critters from 30-152 Garden Critters.  (You can view the video HERE.)  I thought I'd share a look at each individual card today.

On the card above I used The Twinery twine (available from SRM stickers) in the color of pink sorbet as a finishing touch.  And on the next two cards, I love how stamping 40-169 Diamond Pattern and 40-162 Crystal Pattern in pink transformed them from  Christmas stamps to great springy backgrounds!

And speaking of watercolors and spring, 12-year-old niece, Maddi, watercolored this entire card.  You are so talented, Maddi, thanks for letting me share your artwork!!

Spring Edition 2013 *Day 3*

pennyblack_springedition

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*

pennyblack_springedition

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.

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.
