i need another thank you card for the specialist vet that takes care of my daughter’s bunny so i used this week’s sketch at the Share Joy Challenge 30:

Make Mine Chocolate Too!

March 25, 2016 linda8 Comments

since my daughter adopted two bunnies, i’ve learned a lot about how precious and sweet they are. every easter bunnies are thought to be the perfect gift, but 80% are abandoned. bunnies are adorable, but require a lot of care and commitment and the decision to give one, or more, a forever home should only be made after researching what they require. i support the make mine chocolate campaign and enjoy chocolate bunnies too.

i painted everything with twinkling H2Os and used these dies: poppystamps grand bunny, memory box lavish branch and memory box butterfly delights. of course i added pink stickles to the flower and butterfly centres.

i’d like to submit this to these challenges:
Memory Box Challenge #10- Blossoms and Bunnies

Twinkling H20 Basics by Leslie “O” Inventor

February 28, 2016 linda2 Comments

i love watercolouring images and although i have a good supply of different companies’ products, my favourite is colourarte’s twinkling H2Os which i’ve been using now for years.

i know from reader comments that many people have them but they’re not being used; did you know you can use them on your rubber stamps? here’s a helpful how to video: Twinkling H20 Basics by Leslie “O” Inventor.

i’m playing along with two of My Favorite Things Challenges: the Wednesday Sketch #268 and the Colour #39.

MFT_ColorChallenge_PaintBook_39

i watercoloured this adorable bear with twinkling H2Os and gave her a bright pink scarf and hat and, as usual, i literally followed the sketch so it came together quickly. i added one of the sentiments from the same stamp set and a MFT snowflake.

Text Tree

February 21, 2016 linda4 Comments

it’s unusual for me to post daily but i was determined not to wait until the last minute to play along with the jingle belles for a change. the prompt this time is all about “celebrating fab fonts, lovely lettering and all things terrifically typographic with a prompt we’re calling, “Text Me“.

i used an older kaisercraft stamp inked with versa color on a background i created by brayering distress inks and splattering with twinkling H2Os; of course i had to add yellow stickles to the stars. i made three of this design just because it was a quick and easy card since i didn’t use a coloured image. thanks for popping by.

Friendship Bookmarks

February 20, 2016 linda4 Comments

while i was having fun with the monster stamp set, i made two bookmarks to submit to the Avery Elle challenge and this month’s theme: AEI♥U Challenge 33–Friendship!

these little cuties were watercoloured with twinkling H2Os on hot press watercolour paper and the backgrounds were brayered with distress inks. since the blue monster had his hands up in the air, i added splatters because i think he’s throwing confetti.

Heart Bubbles

i’m just popping in with a reminder that you still have plenty of time to play along with us at the penny black and more challenge blog for the anything goes with a stamp and a die(s) theme this month.

i used sizzix ticket dies to cut the image and mat, watercoloured this cute hedgie from the penny black every which way clear stamp set with winsor & newton watercolour paints and twinkling H2Os. the heart bubbles were made dimensional with viva decor glass effect gel.

pretty pink posh’s valentine challenge requires participants to pick one of four designers’ cards for inspiration:

i was inspired by joni’s cute couple, the banners, bows and sentiment. i watercoloured the background and penny black hedgies with twinkling H2Os, added die cut hearts and bows separated by PPP Razzle Dazzle seed beads in red and the container includes some pretty charcoal grey ones that i attached to their noses.

i’m playing along with the My Favorite Things Color Challenge 38; the cool colours are my favourite to use, but i thought this was such a pretty palette!

i watercoloured this sweet image with twinkling H2Os, mixing some of the colours to match as closely as possible to the challenge colours, and used the same twinks to create the mat; another CAS card for my stash.

i’m also playing along with kathy’s 30 day colouring challenge; this was coloured in stages over several days.

it’s the first sunday of the month and time for a new theme at the penny black and more challenge blog and it’s a very easy one! we’d like to see anything goes with a stamp and a die(s).

i watercoloured this cute hedgie from the penny black clear stamp set hugs! with twinkling H2Os and i used a couple of dies: my favorite things stitched circle, my favorite things scalloped border and spellbinders petite scallop circle.

i used my scor-pal and followed this flap fold card tutorial by Julie Davison on splitcoastampers; i changed the orientation of the images and added designer paper to the top fold.

You’re On My Mind

February 4, 2016 linda9 Comments

i made another card featuring this adorable wplus9 elephant for a special someone who really enjoyed the last one i made.

i fussy cut the elephant, used a wplus9 heart balloon die, watercoloured them both with twinkling H2Os and popped them on foam tape. the wplus9 sentiment is from the same stamp set and the hello was die cut from coordinating old kaisercraft paper and attached to fun foam. to finish it off, i added some twine around the trunk and i hope this card will be as well received as the last.

It’s A Good Day

January 30, 2016January 31, 2016 linda9 Comments

sketch challenges, for me, are a real challenge; i usually literally follow sketches, but this time i was inspired to go way beyond my comfort zone and attempt a loose interpretation like some of the My Favorite Things designers did for the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge – Sketch 265.

i stamped images from the MFT sunflower sweetheart stamp set instead of using three separate elements and watercoloured everything with twinkling H2Os; glossy accents were added to the hearts and i attached a few pretty pink posh clear sequins – i only used half of the sentiment from the same stamp set.

i’d also like to submit this card to these challenges:

Bloom And Be Happy

January 17, 2016 linda7 Comments

i had so much fun painting stripes on my card for last week’s My Favorite Things sketch challenge that i used the same technique on this week’s submission for both their sketch challenge 263 and colour challenge.

i mixed my own colours from twinkling H2Os to paint the stripes; unlike other watercolour paints, mixing colours with twinkling H2Os is a challenge because the shimmery mica added might interfere with the result you’re trying to create – but i love mixing colours anyway. after embossing the background, i sanded to reveal more white and painted the mat border.

the MFT die-namics blueprints 12 set was used for all the die cuts which were painted with twinkling H2O washes and i used a sentiment from the sunflower sweetheart stamp set.

i’m also submitting this to the simon says stamp ombre challenge.

Sending You Sunshine

i painted the background and the MFT Die-namics Upsy-Daisy flowers and leaves with twinkling H2Os and added a sentiment from the sunflower sweetheart stamp set.

i’m playing along with the Wplus9 Throwback Thursday Challenge #10, although i’m just making the deadline. i don’t have the featured dies but i love designer maureen’s card with the quilted squares so here’s what i created:

i used the small stitching line from the doodle buds stamp set and added washes of twinkling H2Os, matted it on black card stock and used the sentiment from the same set.

Bonjour! Penny Black And More January 2016

January 3, 2016November 14, 2019 linda13 Comments

it’s the first sunday of the month so it’s time for a new theme at the penny black and more challenge blog; this month we’d like you to create ‘one for the girls.’

i’ve used this cute penny black mimi stamp, thank you anne, called bonjour! and, as usual, i watercoloured with twinkling H2Os.

i used an older cuttlebug embossing folder and sanded the core-dinations paper, added a my favorite things notebook die tag and daisy, also watercoloured with twinkling H2Os, and an elizabeth craft die cut hello.

i hope you’ll play along – remember, you can use any company’s stamp for your focal point, just no digis please; a future guest designer will be selected from those who use a PB image and as always, there are some great prizes to be won from: Penny Black, Be Creative, Crafty Ribbons.

Have A Beary Happy Birthday

December 19, 2015 linda4 Comments

i created this card for my dad, who will celebrate his 91st birthday in two weeks, following the MFT sketch challenge.

12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2015 Day 12

December 16, 2015September 23, 2017 linda5 Comments

last but not least, and the one that took the longest, is my tag for day 12 of the Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2015 Challenge.

i was inspired by day 12 designer sandy allnock’s ornaments made with yupo. i tried watercolouring on yupo over a year ago and found it to be quite challenging; however, when i saw sandy’s creations i thought i’d give it another go – i’m still not a fan, but it was something different for a change. yupo is a plastic surface used in the printing industry and adopted by artists; it’s water resistant, will not absorb a wet medium and needs to air dry. after two days of drying time, as sandy suggested, i covered the green bracts with glossy accents, which is difficult with my RA and hands so the pink ones got tossed and i replaced them with watercolour paper and twinkling H2Os.

the memory box grapevine wreath and stems with berries were also coloured with twinkling H2Os and i added a mirri gold wplus9 die cut merry sentiment, inspired by Dawn Woleslagle, a bow, some string and i have a tree ornament or a present tag.

thanks for popping by.

12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2015 Day 11

December 15, 2015September 23, 2017 linda4 Comments

the theme for day 11 of the Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2015 Challenge is ’twas the night before christmas.

i was inspired by the warm yellow lighting that both Sharon Harnist and Jean Manis, Day 11 designers, used so i painted a yellow glow around this indoor creature, a penny black mouse, and watercoloured with twinkling H2Os. i used a bright pink permanent marker to change the gold peel off sticker to pink and added some ribbon.

12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2015 Day 7

December 14, 2015September 23, 2017 linda2 Comments

i created this tag for Day 7 of the Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2015 Challenge and look who the inspiration is for today.

i was inspired by julie ebersole’s watercoloured tag and miriam prantner’s santa’s scene she created so i put santa in a snow globe and watercoloured with twinkling H2Os; this image is actually three stampendous stamps from one set: santa, the snow globe and the sentiment.

12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2015 Day 8

December 13, 2015September 23, 2017 linda3 Comments

my RA symptoms are a bit exacerbated today, so i only got one tag made for day 8 of the Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2015 Challenge and this one was really challenging.

i was inspired by day 8 designer jill foster and her cute penny black image, colour palette and all the dimension.

i watercoloured this adorable snowman (snow woman?) with twinkling H2Os in pink, yellow, orange, purple, blue, grey and some burgundy for the heirloom carrot nose. i embossed the kraft paper with a cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and lightly applied white ink; the image was die cut with a my favorite things stitched circle die and popped on foam tape. pink and clear stickles were added and i coloured a gold peel off sticker sentiment with permanent markers to make it orange. to finish it off, i added two ribbons. this is going to my daughter because she loves silly snowmen too.

I’m playing along with this month’s magenta challenge: 2 products of your choice from Magenta, 1 tree pattern (bark, branch etc.).

i used the Christmas Holly Birds stamp, watercoloured with twinkling H2Os and i added a magenta peel off gold sticker in the corner. while i was colouring this image, Ellie Knol – DT Magenta, posted an easy christmas card on the magenta blog using this same stamp; how striking to not colour it.

i was lucky enough to win a $25.00 certificate to the store last month and i must say how impressed i am with their fast shipping; no, i didn’t waste any time going shopping – thank you magenta!
