Your Next Stamp Sketch #69 Challenge!

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!

Mojo Monday 500...

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

Today's Adventure: Watercolor!

Hi, everyone! Marie here with something really neat. I figured I needed to seriously up my watercoloring game, so I signed up for the Simply Watercolor class at  Online Card Classes  that is hosted by Kristina Werner; I'm glad I did because she is really good at watercolor! Anywho, today is Day 1 of the class and I have three examples of what I'm doing! Card 1: A really nifty technique that had me try plaid (and my shaky attempt doesn't look too bad); I will definitely keep trying in the near future, because I love the look of plaid! Card 1: Mad About Plaid Card 2: I really like how this turned out; the variation of color per row and column makes it eye-catching.  Card 2: Grids! Card 3: Another geometric design, but using circles as an example. I can definitely see this used for bubbles on other cards or possibly glass orbs, if the wash and shading is right. Card 3: Circles After finishing this first class, I can honestly say it was $20 well-spent. I'
