Winter Friends

yay, i had time to play! i watercoloured this cute image with twinkling H2Os and it was so much fun to colour. i added some pink frantage, sponged the poinsettias and the edge of the image with distress inks and popped the image on foam squares. i used sketch No. 85 at the papertake weekly challenge since this week it’s a sketchie free for all. i’m also playing along with the one crazy stamper March “Anything Goes and Whimsy Stamps” Challenge since i actually bought this stamp from OCS. i’d also like to submit this to the stamping sensations pretty in pink challenge theme for march. thanks for popping by.

Penny Black And More Mid Month – So Sweet

a tender hug!

i had a lot of fun creating this DT card as a mid-month reminder for the penny black and more challenge; this month we’d like to see anything so sweet – images, food, etc. and to me, this is one of the sweetest penny black hedgie images and it’s called a tender hug! i watercoloured with twinkling H2Os, added yellow stickles to the flower centres and some punched flowers to the memory box corner die. be sure and visit the challenge blog for some creative inspiration from my talented team mates and to see what prizes are available; remember, you can use any company’s stamped image as the focal point, just no digis. thanks for popping by.

Egg-cited For Spring

even though more snow is predicted, i am trying to shift into spring so i thought an easter card with bright colours might help. i coloured everything with twinkling H2Os, added flower soft to the cuffs and tail and i’d like to submit this card to these challenges:
kraftin’ kimmie wonderful wednesday anything goes challenge
my favorite things palette colour challenge for march
stamp and create  ready for spring
as you like it – favourite colouring medium and why: watercolouring, usually with distress ink pads and/or twinkling H2Os, is the easiest medium for me because it requires less pressure on my wrist and hands, which doesn’t aggravate my RA. painting images is so relaxing that i sometimes lose track of time when i’m ‘in the zone.’

Sweet Wishes

welcome to some new followers; i appreciate your interest!

this week’s simon says stamp challenge theme is tag it! i love how my team mate ellie stitches on her cards, but sewing is another hobby i gave up because of my RA so i’ve invested in some stitched dies. i used a paper smooches die to create this tag with bits of kaisercraft papers, added stickles to the dots on the cupcake and pearls to the punched flower and cupcake on the front:

i added stickles to the flowers on the back, punched and attached a pink flower and stamped the penny black ‘sweet wishes’ sentiment.

Twinkling Hydrangea

the impression obsession challenge is ‘favourite technique’ and mine is watercolouring. i used twinkling H2Os to create a wash on some watercolour paper to die cut the petals with the IO hydrangea die (DIE044-Y); i painted the leaves and using the same twinks, i painted the edges of watercolour paper to create the mat and had fun splattering the leftovers on cardstock. finally, i added blue stickles to the petal centres.

i’m also submitting this card to these other challenges:
