Get Well Floral Spray

Hello friends,

I've been trying to replenish my stash of  "Get Well" cards.   They seemed to disappear over the Winter.   I purposefully didn't not blend the strokes out on the petals.  I thought it had a more natural look.   I used a gel pen to break up the color in the center of each flower.

Copics used:
Pink: R20, R21, R22, R24
Green: G00, G02, G05, G07
I added some dots with a white gel pen

Recipe for Happiness

Howdy!

I have wanted to color up this cute little Italian guy for years.  He has been collecting dust.  I don't think dust tastes good on spaghetti.   I'm so glad that I cleaned him off and put him to use.   Maybe we should have spaghetti for dinner tonight?  YUM YUM YUM!

Double Duty--watercolor

Welcome,

I have two cards to share with you today.  I'm calling them sister cards.  I wanted to share because I'm sure my fellow card makers can relate.    It starts as all good crafting stories do... on Pinterest.  I won't bore you with all the details.... lets just say I didn't get the same results.   I was determined not to toss the end products in the trash.    After a lot of playing around... here is my Pintwist (Yep... I made that up).

I ended up making two cards.  I learned a lot.  Therefore, I'm calling it a success.

No copics today- I used watercolor

Poppin' in with Poppies

Greetings,

I must be tired of winter.   I find that flowers have crept their way onto every card I've made in the last week or so.  I can't say I'm sorry.... nothing brightens up a dreary winter day like FLOWERS!

I added some color to this poppy die cut.  Hopefully this cad will brighten someone's day!

This happened about a week ago.. but it was too cute not to share...

We went to the youth center to make Valentine's with the kids.  He had a blast watching the older kids creating.  He just couldn't help himself.  He got his hands on a stamp pad and it went straight into his mouth.  Thankfully it is non-toxic.   I can't imagine it tastes good, but he was pretty proud of himself.

Rosy Birthday

Welcome friends,

I wanted to bust out this old chalking technique.   It didn't work out how I planned, but I liked the end result.   I love the soft look of chalk.    The colors blended together so smoothly.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I saved my favorite for last.  I love Tilda.  It has been a long....long time since I've colored one up. This cupid image was too sweet to pass up.

Some Bunny Loves You

Greetings,


This is the last card in my "Quick" Valentine's Day series.  I had a lot of fun with these cards.   I had a lot of fun playing with these stamps.  This is my favorite card from the series.  I just love the way the bunny is cuddling this heart!  I hope you enjoyed Quick and Cute Animal Valentine's Day cards.

In the Swing of Things

Hello all,

I made this card ages ago.  It was brought to my attention that I left it off the blog.   I was thinking of remaking this card and discovered that it never got its day on the blog.   I really like this card, it reminds me how much I've grown.    However, the unblended look has a certain charm on this card.  What do you think?

Kiss, Kiss I love You

Hello!

I'm afraid that the photos of this card will not do it justice.  When you open the card, the pandas kiss.

Outside of the card-  I wanted to keep this simple to keep the focus on the inside.

 When you open the card the pandas slide together and kiss.

No copics today!

Birthday Fishes

Toadally Awesome!

Greetings!

I have another card to share with you from the Valentine's series I made this year.  I love these little stamps.   I tried to keep these cards really simple so people could get them finished and in the mail.   However, I couldn't resist making this frog hold the heart.  I used an exacto-knife to cut his fingers.  I slipped the die cut heart into his hand.    It probably is an unnecessary detail, but I thought it was cute!
