ATC

ATC's are a wonderful way to practice painting because it is a smaller size! I have been participating in Grumbacher's  ATC swaps. Most of the time there is a theme for the 2.5 x 3.5 cards and it can eb done in any medium.

This month's theme is the 50s. For some reason a record player popped into my head. Here is my card. I used water colors for this.

Adding this to PaintPartyFriday.

NBUS

I am playing along with my friend Darnell and her NBUS Challenge




NBUS is never before used schtuff. I think we all have these in our craft rooms. The other part of this challenge was hidden words.

I grabbed a brand new embossing folder that had words on it. After embossing, I misted my paper and punched out Scalloped circles. I made these into flowers. I sanded one word out of the embossing. 

This was a fun card to make! 

Bump

My daughter is 6 months pregnant and I love photographing her bump! I got out paints and inks and stencils and created the background using two different heart stencils!! . Even used washi tape! Sequins were the finishing touches.

This sketch is from Scrapping-clearly



Adding this to Mixedmediamc To put a Stencil on it!



Joining in on the Simonsays Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes!

I will be visiting Jen again in 2 weeks and can't wait to see the bump again:)

Thank you

I was playing today with Ken Oliver Stitched Water Media cards from Canvas Corp Brands


These are wonderful surfaces for paints, mists, and so much more!

I wanted to make a thank you card and used a variety of media products!

I masked stripes using tape. I painted with ColourArte Twinkling H2Os. These shimmery paints are so pretty!

I used my Dreamweaver butterfly stencil and Ranger Texture Paste to create a glorious butterfly. I mixed Colourarte's Vivid Ultra Metallics Dragon Gold in the paste. Once dry I painted the butterfly with Teal Zircon Ultra Metallics and outlined the body and edges with Colourarte's Smokey Diamond. In this close up you can see the wonderful colors and texture!

I am adding this to Simon Says Monday Challenge - Spread Your Wings.
Also adding this to MixedMediaMC  - Put a stencil on it.

I won't be the Baby Anymore?

My daughter is expecting our first grandchild - a girl - in April. She has a dog who is going to have a very hard time adjusting!

Santino is glued to her - always in her arms or lying on her. Can't wait for him to meet the bundle of joy!

Sketch is from DCWV and I used 3 of their stacks.

Hi

Time for another PPC Magazine Monday Inspiration!



Here is my card

This time I did quite a literal interpretation using some of the 6  x 6 papers I have stashed. I used watercolors to create the background. This is a perfect card to send to someone just because.

Stop by PCC every Monday for inspiration!
