A safe harbor......

Hi there,

Gina here today to share a card I made using the Couple in Love image from Whimsy Stamps.  Such a fun card to watercolor, the perfect scenery to blend colors together.

I watercolored this image using both distress markers and Derwent inktense pencils.  I tried using a new technique to not get the colors to bleed, by heat setting each area once I completed it.  Using the inktense pencils, once they dry they are permanent, which makes it a lot easier to not allow bleeding between the different areas.

Hope you like this card, please go take a look over at Whimsy Stamps, for this and other great images.

Thanks for taking a peek.

Have a great day. =)

Hello......autumn flowers

Hi there....

Here today to share an card using the Candy Shoppe image from Whimsy Stamps, colored up with autumn colors.

I used colored pencils to color in the flowers and then watercolored the background.

I used a few different die cuts from Mama Elephant to layer the image and then die cut the hello from orange glitter foam to give the sentiment a little pop.

Such a fun image to color and play with, hope you enjoyed looking.

Head on over to Whimsy Stamps for this and lot of other great images.

Have a great day.

A look back at August creations for Kith and Kin

Hi there.....

Here today to share some creations I have made for Kith and Kin Stamp company.

Since it's still summer here in the Pacific Northwest of the US, I have created summer cards....although with school right around the corner next week, soon the season will change here too.

The first card I made using Rory with Kitty was so fun to make a camping theme. 

For my second card, I chose to use Sandcastles Robbie and Rose.  I watercolored the image to give it a soft beachy feel.....I loved how it turned out.

Hope you enjoyed these creations, head on over to Kith and Kin Stamp Co and join in on all the fun creations on facebook created by the design team members.

Have a great day.

Sending smiles......

Here today to share a little gift bag I made using one the new images over at Whimsy Stamps called Maggie.

I watercolored this image on some 90lb watercolor paper using distress inks and a water brush.  After I finished I added a little bit of sparkle with a Wink of Stella Clear glitter brush pen.

I also added a few sequins and then a sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

Such a fun project and something a little different to give with a sweet gift.

Hope you enjoyed checking this out, please check out this image, Maggie that was released in August and lots of other great images and stamps at Whimsy Stamps.

Happy Friday and have a craft weekend.

Hello Friend.......

Hi There.....

Wanted to share a card I made for Little Blue Button Stamps, using the adorable Ladybug Sophie, that was released this month.  Head on over to Little Blue Button Stamps for this and many other great digi stamps.

I watercolored this image using distress markers and cut out the image with a stitched rectangle die from Mama Elephant. I then added the two cloud punches with a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

Since this was a single layer card, I decided to add some foam adhesive to the back of the image to give it some dimension before mounting it to a yellow card base.

Hope you enjoyed checking this out.....please head over to the blog for this and lots of other great ideas using Little Blue Button images.

Have a great day.

Fall.....a "Season of Love"

Wanted to share a great new stamp set Season of Love available over at CC Designs Stamps.

It's hard to believe that fall is right around the corner here in the Pacific Northwest....but eventually back to school and fall time approaches, so wanted to make a thank you card using this great set.

This set comes with some great accessories and perfect sentiments for the Fall.

I colored it using copics and paper-pieced the dress to add a little something extra.

To help hide my not so great cutting job, I went around the edge of the image with a black marker, thought helped to enhance this image even more.

Hope you enjoy this creation, please head on over to the Little Blue Button blog for some more great projects from our design team.

Hope you have a great day.

Best Friends Forever......Mama Elephant Photo Inspiration Challenge

Hi there......

Today I have a card that I created for the Mama Elephant Photo Inspiration Challenge.  

Such fun stamps to create with, I used the Honey Bunny set and a few other accessories. 

To start with I the Taylored Expressions - Dies - Ray Of Sunshine.  I watercolored using some Tim Holtz paints and gelatos, then added water and brushed it on to make it look like a sunset.

I also watercolored the grass panels using the landscape trio set.

I colored the bunnies with distress markers and a aqua brush, then added some liquid pearls to their tails.

For the inside I stamped the bunnies again and also used a sentiment from the AmyR Stamps Rainy Day Sentiments Rubber Stamps.

Thanks for looking, have a great weekend.
