Lucky to Know you


Hello, 

It has been a long time since I've played with the smooshing watercolor technique.  It is so much fun.  We smooshed our papers into Mowed Lawn and Lucky Clover distress ink.  It gives a organic background. I used the new Unity St. Patrick's Day stamps to stamp the shamrocks.    What a happy, fun card!


No copics today

Brighten Your Day

Hey,, Is it Spring Yet? 

I feel like that is what this little bunny is peeking in to see.  Isn't he cute?   It doesn't have to be an Easter card, but it is hard not to think Easter when you see a bunny.     Maybe that would be a fun challenge...making bunny cards that have nothing to do with Spring or Easter.  Who is in?

Bee my Gnomie

 Hello, 

I can't believe how fast Valentine's day is creepin' up.   Can we vote and push that back a month?  I'm not going to lie.  I still have Christmas stamps on my desk.  I'm trying to wrap up unfinished projects.    The probably will finish themselves up, right?   

Well to take my mind off of the mess, I decided to create a new one.   My friend (Kimberly) and I noticed that all of sudden bees are everywhere.   Bees seem to be a trending for Valentine's day.  How could I not jump on the band wagon.  I have planned out a few different bee cards to share with you before Feb 14th!  My first card features a gnomie from Unity.  This little bee keeper is enjoying a sweet treat.  I colored the pots in 3 different colors.   Do you have a favorite?    Did you know at the bottom every blog post, I share all my copic colors if I used them?

Materials:

Stamps:
Sentiments from Honeybee stamps
Dies:
Hexagon cover plate - very similar to what I used. 

Paper:
paper from Stampin' Up
Yellow polka dot purchased at Hobby Lobby

Other:
Inka Gold to add some shine to a few of the honeycombs.  They no longer make Inka Gold... it is called Solar paste.  Same thing
Copics are listed at the bottom of post

I wasn't really sure where I was going from here.... but I kept on the bee theme.  Here is how they turned out.  I made 10 cards in total.  


Close up of the Inka Gold-  just adds a shine.  Solar paste will do something very similar

Flippin' Best

 Hello, 

What is the big deal about gnomes?  A few years ago they exploded in popularity and they can be found everywhere.  So... I did a little research (thank you google).   Gnomes are supposed to represent good luck. They are thought to provide protection.  I'm not sure why some gnomes give off a creepy stalker vibe... but these gnomes are adorable.   I picked this one because it could be used for masculine cards.  

What do you guys think?  Are you gnome people?
