Still practicing, LOL

Well I just had to attempt another water color card with all the new goodies my friend Helen sent me... I still think I am using to much water on my brush at times, but I am learning.  This one is going to friend in another card group..... Gotta run house work needs done before I can get back to crafting,,,,

 

Until next time,

Happy Mail in da house.... :)

Hello crafty peeps.  I was a recipient to wonderful box of goodies form a new dear sweet crafting friend.  Her name is Helen Hannum.  I met her in the face book group "Stamp Junkies".  It's a fabulous group, in my opinion.  And I have left all other my groups and love this one the best.   Anyways, Helen sent a bunch of water color markers, paint brushes, palette paper, watercolor paper pad, cool sentiment stamps and a sweet card and note.  All because she saw that I was loving doing the Art Impressions watercolor scenes..... She does fabulous ones herself and not to mention she does spectacular drawings too.  I can not thank her enough for this lovely thoughtful gift..... I will have to think of something special to do for her :)      Love ya Helen and Thank You!   Here's the loot she sent me:

Now to make some cards with all my goodies, that is after the house work is done, maybe, LOL.

Until next time

So there it is.... Thanks for looking.

Until next time

1st water color image

Good Morning peeps.... I tried my hand at water coloring some Art Impressions wc stamps.  I used some water color paper from Hobby lobby.  It's a cold process / 140 lb paper called "Master's Touch".  I like it.  It accepts water well and so far no warping.   I stamped images with Zig Clean Color Markers and used a #5 synthetic brush, it was a bit bendy so will try different one next time around.   I am still learning but it turned out alright.  I am going to make a card with it and will post after it's done, but here is it. 

Well have a fun crafty Thursday.  Thanks for popping by too.

Unilt next time

Just a little stamping.....

Howdy y'all.  Made a rather pretty card for a friend's up coming birthday next Wednesday.  She is super sweet and I just love her.  I hope she likes the card, she does not like a lot of fuss about her day so I always just mail her cards and leave it at that.  I used Brusho Powders for the background and then stamped the flower in Momento tuxedo black.  Stamped one extra flower and used foam tape to raise it up a bit.  Added some colored bling dots to flower centers just cause it needed something....
Used some glittery paper and black to bring it all together.  then fussy cut a little banner and stamped Happy birthday.  The inside, I used the same black and a light lavender paper,  layered and stamped one lone flower in one corner to finish the card off.  I am really digging this one.  Hope y'all like it too.  Well be sure to pop by again soon as I am making several more cards this weekend hopefully......

and now for the card: 

Oh I forgot I also stamped the envy too....  Thanks for popping by.  See you again soon.

Until Next Time,

Q quickie card and some alcohol ink backgrounds

Hi Peeps, here is a super quick card I just made for a Pen Pal swap over on Stamp Nation.  Used one of the alcohol ink backgrounds I made over the weekend and used a very old floral stamp that I love and the sentiment is from Her arts form long ago also.   But i do believe it came out pretty nice!   Also here is a picture of the assorted backgrounds I did with my alcohol inks.   Just had not played with them in such a long time and came across them when looking for something else and thought why not!  

 

Well that's it folks.  Thanks bunches for stopping by and I hope you'll leave a comment and let me know what you think of these.  

Until Next Time

Played around with backgrounds

Hello all.   I wanted to make some water color backgrounds so I pulled out my Brusho Powders and made these backgrounds.  I am thrilled with how they came out.  I still have one more panel left and no idea what I wanna do with it yet, ahh well.....  Anyway here is what I did.  I used a stamp I have had forever from Stampin Up, this perty peacock, don't ya just love her?    The other is a hero arts floral stamp.

Well was just so happy with these I just had to share with y'all....  Thanks for popping by.

Until next time
