Doodling Card

Hello! 

 I hope you're having a great day.

Today I'm sharing a card I made.

Lately I've gotten more into doodling,

one day I was going through my background

stash and found this piece that I had made

with watercolors and decided to do some

doodling on it.

I know I need to practice more and get better

at it, but the important thing is that I

enjoyed making it.  

I let this piece sit for quite a while,

not really sure that I was happy with it.

Then one day I picked it up and decided that

even if it wasn't unbelievably gorgeous or anything

close to it, it should be made into a card.

I trimmed it down and adhered it to a card 

base and I think whoever gets it will

love it even though it's not a 

"stunner"

I had fun, like I said, that's the important thing.

Thanks for visiting today,

come again soon.

Until then:

have fun with your crafting!

Little Bunny

Hello!  Welcome back.

Easter is almost here and I'm showing y'all 

some of the cards I made.  Guess I better get them

ready to send out, eh?

Today I'm showing you 3 cards of the same 

design.

I had stamped and colored these little bunnies,

then couldn't decide what to do with them.

They are "Bunny With Flowers"

They seemed much too small to just put on the 

front of a card.

Then I came up with the idea of putting them on

a small folded piece and adding that to a larger 

background piece.

Inside the small "cards" I simply stamped

"Happy Easter"

I love this Easter greeting, I don't know what 

company this is from, I got it in a set that was on

clearance, because it had no outer package and one

greeting was missing.

I decided the background of the "little card" needed

something, so I used a small stamp and

added some flowers to the background.

That was just the right addition to finish it off.

All the backgrounds were from my stash

and were all done on watercolor paper

and water colors of one kind or another.

Here's a close up of this last card,

I used a different little flower stamp for this one.

All the bunnies were colored with colored pencils

and then fussy cut.  They were adhered with foam tape to

the little card and it was adhered to the background with 

ATG tape.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

think outside the box and try something

a little different.

Hand made paper card

Hi all!

Here's another card from my "make it from my stash" 

cards.  For this card, I used a water color paper background.

I used water color paints to make the panel and the piece with

the sentiment on it.  This was originally for part of a Christmas 

gift and was left over, so it went into my background papers stash.

Finally I pulled it out and decided to use it.

I combined it with a piece of handmade paper.

My hubby is a photographer and does Art Festivals with his work.

A few year ago I went to a show in Pennsylvania with him and the

woman across from him was selling artwork made from 

handmade paper.  She also was selling pieces of her paper.

Well, I couldn't go home without some of it. This piece

has some shimmery paint on it in gold and copper and it 

is just beautiful.

I used a fairly fine paint brush to brush on some water

in a line where I wanted to tear it, then simply pulled along that

wet line, the paper tears and leaves this very organic edge.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from 

Stamp On It

Using Brown StazOn ink, I stamped the sentiment

onto a piece of that water colored paper,

trimmed it out, adhered it to a piece of white card stock,

the onto the front of the card.

I think this makes a nice masculine card, although it could

be used for anyone.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you will return soon.
