Happy Easter

Happy Easter to all who celebrate this day.  We will spending the day with my Mom.  She will be making us a wonderful dinner and we will watch some movies....

Now I want to show you what I have been working one the past day or two.... made some water color card images that I will using to make cards.  Used WC paper and embossed the stamp with clear them added the colored embossing powder and heated it up.   They where both colored with Zig Markers, water and paint brush, still have to finish as you see there in the picture.  I am very happy with how they are turning out.  Will share the cards when I get them all done....

Have a fabulous day!  

Until next time

Happy Saturday.....

Hello all!  Boy have had a such a great week with Happy Mail.  I just rec'd this nice set of stamps and cute peacock stamped card from my "Secret Sisath over on Stamp Nation...I love it all and I can not wait to ink up that pretty Stamp'in up floral stamp.  I also made 2 Easter cards today, used up scraps of Brusho paper I made week or so back, outline stickers and some images peeps have sent me over the past couple years.  I had limited time this week so I did not have enough time to stamp like I wish I could...So these were quick and easy to throw together and I am very happy with them,  I hope that the receivers of them like them as well......... OK well dinner is calling my name so gotta run.  Have a fabulous rest of your day.  Enjoy your weekend where ever you are and what ever you do.  We are making Homemade Pizza tomorrow at my Mom's.... YUM!

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

And the card

So I found myself with a few minutes today so I made the card with the water color image I made last night.  Decided to make it an Easter Card for my Hubby's Aunt.... I love the way it came out...Hope you do too. 

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,
Tootles
