Water Color Rose

I have so many red copics waiting for refills that I decided to pull out the

water colors to play with this afternoon! 

I came across these awesome water colors at Hobby Lobby 

called Kuretake. over a year ago and haven't been able to find them since. 

But here is a link on Amazon if you would like to check them out!

Karetake

They were very simple to use.

I concentrated the color into where I felt shadows should be then rinsed my brush a tiny bit and used the wetness of the brush to pull the color out to the end of the petal!

The background is just highly watered down light touches of paint!

I feel its a nice clean and classic look.

I used Canson Water Color Paper 

then matted it up in black card stock!

This is also a new image called Water Color Rose that I have just uploaded to my shop.

My In-laws sent us beautiful flowers for Thank Giving which prompted a whole new slew of drawn images coming soon!

November Challenge

This is the totally adorable image for the November challenge 

for Gerda Steiner Designs!

I'm loving all these sweet critters!

You can find the challenge HERE

Classic Christmas

Today I felt like I needed a little bit of a Classic Christmas feel.

Sweet and simple!

As most of you know I love to create designs that make the card.

I'm terrible at the embellished style so I always tend to lean towards the clean and simple.

for this card it was as simple as print and color!

The only copic colors used are

G29, E49

 RV69, R29, R35, R24, R22, R30

I used a silver gel pen for the tops of the ornaments and called it good!

This took me about 15 minutes to make from print to finish!

You can find this new image in my shop:

Classic Christmas

Roses are Red

I've only colored this Roses image up in pinks so I thought I would do reds!

Copic colors used are RV69, R29, R35, R43, R30, YG17, YG67, YG99.

I used my Novu Crystal glaze for some dimension but for some reason they dried matt.

I'm wondering if since its a bit chilly in our house that would make a difference?

The little gold flecks you see are dotted on using Dr. PH. Martins calligraphy colors in iridescent gold. I love this stuff! 

The thanks die cut comes from Pink and Main. I have just double cut it and off centered it a bit.

And the gold paper I have been using lately is from the paper studio. I found it at Hobby Lobby and Love it!

That about concludes todays make!

I hope you all like it and are having a wonderful day!

Thank you so much for dropping in! 

A few cards to share

Its been a busy couple of weeks for me!

Finally getting some work in and haven't been home much.

I drive a pilot car so I tend to be off at a moments notice.

But in the few spare hours I have managed I have made a couple cards to share with you!

This one is using my silhouette to cut the background design, then my image from the

shop called Poinsettia 

This fun card is a retake on Fall leaves. 

And then one of my favorites Apple Blossoms

Done in light simple pinks and gold embossing!

And another using the Poinsettia image!

The background on this one is a Tim Holtz embossing folder called Basket weve.

I'm felling so accomplished!

I hope you like them!

Poinsettias

I know usually we see Poinsettias used on Christmas and Holiday cards but this one just seemed to take on a like of its own.

I always color my image first and then start digging for paper to match..

Well This card almost feels springy to me!

That's ok though, I mean why not!

For this card I used my newest image called Poinsettia. I fussy cut it out and layered it on papers from Canvas Corp. The sentiment is stamped from a Hero Arts set.

I then added some Nuvo drops for a simple embellishment.

Copics used are R56, R43, R85, R83, R29, G29, YG63, YG17, YO8, E09

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Fall Florals

There is a challenge going on over at Altenew using fun fall colors.

So this is my entry! I've used my Mums flower image.

I broke out my colored pencils to color on craft paper. I then matted it up on craft colored card stock from the matt stack from Canvas Corp.

The bee is also cut from that cardstock.

The little dots are Nuvo Drops in Golden Sunset.

The sentiments come from Hero Arts

Thank you so much fro dropping by!!

Then topped it with a die cut sentiment from
