Sweet Pea

Twisted Thursday, over at The Outlawz, has an anything goes this week. This little "Sweet Pea" comes from our sponsor, Stitchy Bear. I made an easel card, die cut out the image with Little B Scallops, and popped it up on some fun foam. I sprayed some quilled flowers in a matching pink, added some die cut leaves, and popped up a sentiment.

Watercolor for Cardmaking

Here's something a bit different for you to look at. I am taking part of and online water color class for cardmakers. These cardmaking classes have all been very informative and fun. If you're looking for inspiration, they are well worth the cost.

This is the first one that I did. It was to learn blending. I also learned that I really should spring for some "real" watercolor paper LOL!

The second one was used to make a card. I used sticky backed foam sheets cut to size for the backing to keep the paper from buckling, and adhered it to the cardstock. I only used two colors, Cadmium Yellow Hue and Cadmium Red, both from Winsor Newton, Cotman water color tubes. The sentiment is a Simon Says die cut that I did in two colors. Finally, I added some stitching lines in dark blue and a few dark blue dots.

Thanks for stopping by. I'd love constructive comments to encourage me to improve with my water coloring!

From the Heart Sketch # 136 - Kitty and Heart

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #136 offered a sketch and an optional twist to add Shabby Chic or Vintage. I chose to do both.  I selected this free sweet little kitty image, Kitty and Heart,  as my friend is adopting a new cat today. She will name her Lily. Isn't that such a pretty name?

I used Copics in R00-11-21-83, and W0-1 and 2. I used the texture, with terry cloth and blending solution, technique on the cat. I added some punched lace on the sideways twisted piece of paper and some vintage lace from Marianne designs under the kitty. Tattered Rose Distress Ink was added to the white paper edges and a flower from BoBunny completes the card.

Snowman Hugs in the Meadow

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #135 offered a sketch and an optional twist to add some nature. I chose to do both.   I selected this sweet and loving couple called "Snowman Hugs",  and trees from another set called "In the Meadow".

The orange stripes paper is from Recollections. The paper behind the trees is from a woven embossing folder that was covered with Distress Points and sprayed with Chalkboard paint, I added some Stampendous chunky white embossing enamel for snow.  Distress Inks were used for edging and a few die cut and punched hearts finish the card.

Cat Mail from Stitchy Bear

The optional twist over at Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz, is to use our favorite card shape. I love so many different card shapes and love to try new ones. That being said, I think my "go to" is an easel card. I used this sweet silhouette called Cat Mail from our sponsor, Stitchy Bear. The floral background is cut from a SVG file from Sherri Baldy. The image and sentiment are edged with Black Soot Distress Ink and both are popped up with foam for dimension.
