Many Ways To Color #12

Hi and welcome to my blog. Here is a card I made to show another way to color. I have not used my watercolor crayons in ages, so I brought them out and just loved coloring with them. I stamped on watercolor paper and colored the image like normal and then used my water brush to blend the colors.

Stamp:   Roses - Stampendous

Label:    Sticker

Saying:  Sparkle N Sprinkle

Watercolor Crayons:  Lyra

Many Ways to Color #11

Many Ways to Color #10

Hi and welcome to my blog. I pulled out my chalks that I have not used in ages to color the birds on my card today. I really enjoyed coloring with chalks again. I loved the way they blended so well. I found a background in my stash where I had stamped a plaid background with white acrylic paint and then blended on some ink colors. I used the die that went with the birds to cut out the image and then adhered the birds onto the background.

Here is the inside of the card with the rest of the saying.

Stamps:  Birds Stamps and Die Set - Cas-ual Fridays

               Plaid Background - Impression Obsession

Soft Pastels - Master's Touch

offering the fun stamp, 

"Curious Kitten"

to one lucky winner!

I am using an old stamp today. I love these cute Happy Hoppers by House Mouse. Ice cream is a great way to keep cool on a hot summer day! He better eat it quickly before it melts! I used a layering stencil behind the image that looks like sunrays. It reminds me of those mid summer days, so sizzling hot and humid!
