Sunflowers

Hi people!  We’ve been busy these last few days.  I was able to go the wedding of two former youth leaders we had and it was in the next province and in the mountains.  What a beautiful setting!  The autumn leaves were amazing, the weather was gorgeous, and it was such a lovely heartfelt wedding.  Tomorrow I’ll show you what I made for them, but for today I thought I’d show you what I coloured up most recently.

This is from Gina K’s Stately Flowers 5 set,  Autumn is such a beautiful time to showcase these sunflowers because of their amazing yellow and orange hues.  I thought it would be fun to pair it with a really soft blue/green background and this week’s Mojo Monday sketch.  I did a little piercing, and stamping of the “sunflower” word from the set through the design to soften the effect.  

I added some washi tape into the tag top, a button and twine to finish it off.  Another contribution to the 30 Day Colouring Challenge too!

Thanks for popping by, see you tomorrow!

A Spring Bouquet

A quick post tonight....I have been painting our bathroom, and have been at it yesterday, today and hopefully finishing up tomorrow....the ceiling, the cupboards, the walls...it's a big job. I'm so thankful my mom is helping me.

But, after painting today I needed a break, so I used the Color Challenge colors of Pretty in Pink, Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss and some beautiful Gina K flowers to create this bouquet. All the flowers are masked and watercolored...after I had the main image done, I realized that one of my tulips was floating without a stem, it looked wrong, so I added another one with a stem over top. I've outlined all the flowers with a copic marker to give it sort of that blue glow.

Do you notice this gorgeous flower ribbon? I made it! We saw it in a WOW presentation at the SU Regional we went to on Saturday....I'll show you the step by step another day, but it's definitely a WOW effect!

I'll be back tomorrow to show you some of the projects I made for my sweet new niece!

A Spring Bouquet

Toonie Tuesday - Gina K!

As promised yesterday, I inked up my new set from Gina K, A Year of Flowers. It's always fun to do something new, and I'm a newbie to Gina K stamps. This set has TONS of flowers from poinsettia to spring and summer flowers, all beautifully illustrated by the talented Melanie Muenchinger.


Lotus Blooms




For this card I used the lotus looking stamp and gave it a water scene. I watercolored the flowers on watercolor paper and then cut them out. I cut a Top Note with my Big Shot and then masked and brayered the sky with Baja Breeze and then then water with Baja, Pacific Point and Kiwi Kiss, then added white gel pen highight. I also went back and sponged some Baja in the sky too. I've seen Ms. Amy pickletree do some great things with layering the Top Note so I thought I'd try it.



Bouquet With Love




The 200th Color Challenge! Can you believe it? Of course Emily gives us a doozie! :) Brilliant Blue, Garden Green and Pumpkin Pie. Actually...I don't reach out for Brilliant Blue often, but paired right, it really is pretty. Here I stamped a bouquet of flowers also using masking with the lily stamp and the pretty petal stamp, stems and leaves. Watercolor with SW Markers and a out of the box design. I also created the "background paper" by stamping the leaves, and a ladybug from the set all over the garden green, sponging and then coming back and stamping Linen background on it too. I was going for a crisp clean design here.


Ok...off to do some errands!
