Simply Watercolor Christmas Day 8

 Day 8 was Santa Card. 

As you can see I didn't do a Santa.  Instead I made an Joy Bulb Card.  I couldn't believe the background turned out just like I wanted.  

This was the last day of class.  I have really enjoyed getting to know the watercolors I have.  I look forward to the next Online Card Class.

Simply Watercolor Christmas Day 2

 Day 2 was more masking.  We used masking fluid today.

I had a hard time keeping the circle round.  After I removed the masking fluid the pencil lines would not erase cleanly so I used the dark watercolor to hide my drawing.

Thanks for stopping by.

Online Card Camp Day 17

Lining Up Pieces with Background Dies was our class on day 17.

I used Distress Oxides to color a few pieces of paper.  I then die cut the colored paper and a piece of white paper. I attached the white to another piece of Cardstock.  I added a double layer of foam tape to the coral squares.  The yellow was next, it has no foam tape.  Lastly the blue was added with 1 layer of foam tape.  I die cut the hello and stamped the sentiment and attached them to the card.  There is a lot of dimension.

I uses a diamond shaped die to make the pattern with.  For me the hardest part was getting all the diamonds straight.  I don't think they are very straight but I really did try.

I do like to color but this is a lot faster, especially if I'm in a hurry.

Spring Card Camp Day 10

Our lesson was Letter Substitution for day 10.

I chose to substitute the U in hugs for the koala bear.

Spring Card Class Day 9

Day 9 was about Cloud Gazing. Daniel West said he liked to look at the clouds to see shapes.  We were to look at stamps and dies in a different way.  Here is what I came up with.

I used background dies for the grass and flowers.  The stems are an old Spellbinder die.  I free hand cut the birds as it needed something.

I know when I look at my stamps I do see things other than what they are but I really had a problem with that today.

Spring Card Camp

Today is day 8, Faux Dip Die.

I cut a piece of watercolor paper into 4 pieces.  I used watercolors from Altenew.  I really  had fun with these.

Today was right up my alley.  The lesson was Creative Color Blocking.
