Today's Adventure in Watercoloring: Cuddly Critters!

Hi, everyone. Marie here - really early because her internet was down last night - to show all y'all yesterday's Simply Watercolor products!

Card one features a really cute bird and some balloons:
Tweet, tweet!

Card two has four adorable animals (Kristina had a tiger on one of the panels, but I went for a bear; it does work!):
The dog says "woof", the cat says "meow"...

Card three has one fabulous birthday she-bear wanting to celebrate:

Celebrate good times, c'mon!

I'm really looking forward to today's lesson, which should be popping up soon.

Until next time...

Toodles!

Mojo Monday 500...

Image
Go figure that I enter the very last time Mojo Monday occurs! That said, the sketch was a good one: So, seeing some of the designs that came in did help, but I wanted something a bit different. I love Verve Stamps and I wanted to convey a "happy trails" kind of theme without being too sappy (I am a bit of a sap, but don't ruin my rep!).  I came up with this: The paper came from Illustrated Fairh, the ribbon came from Hobby Lobby, and the sentiment is from Verve's New Mercies set.  I also figured out the two-finger bow method that Gina K. uses on her cards. Yay! As a newer card maker, this was a push in the right direction; I like being challenged and I liked this result. :) Happy crafting! ~Marie

Your Next Stamp Sketch #69 Challenge!

Image
The lovely folks at  Your Next Stamp  have set out a nifty challenge, so I figured that it would help me get out of my crafty slump. It sure did! I managed to take this sketch... ...and turn it into THIS: The stamp and sentiment is from Newton's Nook , the papers are  Simon Says Stamp Doll Pink cardstock and Echo Park Summer Dreams , embellishments are from Doodlebug  and Nuvo Glitter Drops . I used Prismacolor colored pencils for the stamped image, as well as Versafine ink. Overall, this card took about 15 to 20 minutes to make, from start to finish; it's summery and cheerful. :D Thanks so much for stopping by! ~Marie
