A cute window box card

    I stamped this cute window with flowers stamp from Lockhart stamps on water color paper and then used my zig water color markers to color it. I cut it out and added it with foam tape to the card front I had stamped with a wood grain stamp from My Favorite things.
   This was an easy card and so darn cute.
Thanks for stopping.

Water color crayon flower background

I played with my water color crayons last night. I found a Gena K flower that worked perfect to use for this. I used water color paper I misted it lightly. I colored directly on to the stamp I colored with the lightest color all over then then the blue one I went darker in the center,coloring on top of the lighter color. The yellow one I put the yellow down and then went around the outside edge of the flower with the orange. These are done with the same stamp just different colors. I never washed my stamp but just kept recoloring and stamping until I was done with the area I wanted to fill.
The saying stamp is from Raisin Boat stamps and I embossed it with olive embossing powder.
Getting ready for a demo really has gotten my creative juices going.
  Thanks for stopping in.

Tiny little flowers

I am having fun playing with my zig water color markers. I stamped this little cutie with black archival ink. I can not believe how you can get into such small places with these wonderful markers. I  used my new Just Rite stamps die set. It has the prettiest little vines and I love the small stitched ovals. I also used some spellbinders die's I had waiting to be used again. ( I need to pull some of my pretty Lacey designs more often.)
  Thanks for stopping by.

Easter tulips

   I used Gena K's tulip stamps with archival ink on water color paper. I used zig water color markers to color them. I die cut them with a spellbinder egg die. The fun vines are a new Just Rite die set it also has 2 small stitched ovals. I embossed the back ground to add a bit of texture.
   Thanks for stopping in. I hope you are inspired to make some Easter cards.

Twinkling H2o's pretty dress cards

I played around with my Twinkling H2O's on the dress's. I used water color paper and archival ink. I added a few dots of stickles for a bit more bling. I don't think the pictures show how shimmery and pretty they look.

Thanks for stopping in,

Water color poppies

I opened my mail yesterday and to my surprise it was a card I had made. I had sent in several cards about 2 years ago to Scott publications and quite a few were published I had totally forgot about them. This one will be in the Just Cards magazine. I am currently working on getting samples ready for a water color demo I am doing at a stamping event for next weekend so this will be a nice addition to my samples.
I used Raisin boat stamps Field of Poppies and misted it with water after coloring to get the pretty bleed out of the colors.The seamstress in me added the black stitching which really adds a nice touch of detail to the finished card.
I like to say it is the little things in life and this was one of those fun little things to find in the mail.
  Thanks for stopping by.
