Another watercolor

I have been organizing in my basement craft area and that has taken over the creative process. But yesterday I needed some create time. Here is what happened for me.

Just some watercolors and a Montana pen in black and a larger one in white. It felt so good to create again.

Hope you enjoy.

Watercolors

I feel like I haven't been on here in ages. I am trying to get back into the rhythm of school and activities but snow days are definitely  slowing down the process. However, I have been watching some videos and have been inspired.

Tracy is a delight to watch, especially when her dad is in the studio and I have been having fun making some watercolor cards.

Here are my creations:

 Just some crazy free hand flowers.

 This one above actually says thinking of you.

 A lopsided heart.

 This is supposed to be a flower but it morphed into something else. Not sure what that is.

 This last one is my favorite. It is a stamp that I watercolored with aqua crayons. The background is Dyan Reveley stamps. Hope you enjoy them.

Magazine Monday Week Thirty Five

Well Hello again! Hard to believe the holidays are now behind us. It was so much fun to meet and greet and see friends and family. We loved it but I am ready for school ~ in a big way.

It felt good to play again with the Paper Crafters Corner challenge. So here is the card I made.

The stamp sets are Paper Trey Ink. They are Delightful Doilies,  Banner Builder and Framed. The lace "curtains" are River City Rubber Works. The words are Jody Posey but she has long since closed up her online store. The little doodads are from Waltzing Mouse Stamps and I don't remember which set but there are extras in almost every set she sells. Love WMS. I used gold embossing powder and a versamark pen to create the border.

Hope you enjoy. It is a good feeling to be back in my creative space.

Thanks to PCC.

Mixed Media Monday

Hi Friends!
I have been at it again. Love watching Mixed Media Monday with Tracy so here is my journal page inspired by this past Monday night.

The supplies used are older than my 9 year old son. Except the grunge letters, they are possibly 5 years old. Paper is ancient and embellishments are from the 90's. Trying to use stuff I have and boy does it feel good.

Magazine Monday Week 33

Hi Friends,
I am playing along with Paper Crafters Corner Magazine Monday again. Here is the inspiration cover. Week 33 link.

I chose to make a card this time. I used Waltzing Mouse Stamps to make my card. The stamp set seems kind of homemade to me. And I used Stampin' Up Watercolor crayons to color where needed.

I did use watercolor paper and mounted it onto a brown card. Hope you enjoy.

December 2013 Creative Dare

I have been having a blast following Tracy and learning new techniques. Especially helpful is going outside my comfort zone. Hard to do but love the results.

Here is my December 2013 Creative Dare with my 5 values.

I am not a big fan of hearts. I do like butterflies with all the flowers so here is a Marianne Creatable die cut out of a monster soda can. I used my big kick to do it. Nothing extra but the metal shim plate to help with pressure and a piece of wax paper. Easy Peasy. 

Hope you all enjoy your month of December. Mine is off to a great start.

Water Color Journal Page

I have been playing along with Terri Sproul, and here is my version of the watercolor page.

And here are some close ups for the details.

 Didn't have penguins the right size for this project so I opted for gingerbread men.

 Look at the shimmer of that snow! I had the iridescent blue paint but hadn't used it yet. Thanks for the jump start! Love the glass beads ~ they just about glow on the page.

And this page wouldn't be complete without Santa riding off into the night.
