Friday May 1, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge

Theme: in the air - plane/balloons/bird/  ----

I did a recycle.. My brother sent me a birthday card with these balloons on them and I loved them so took them off the card and thought some day I will use them. 

I created my background with my cloud and ground template I created using Ranger ink. 

I got this bear die (and others in the set) from Amazon.. I cut the bear out and used a watercolor pencils to give some shading. I added a black card stock behind the nose and used a pen to add the dyes and little mark under the nose. 

I added the balloons and bear and stamped the My favorite things sentiment.. I love how he came out.. I used a scrap for the scarf..

Sparklers Christmas #184 - Merry Christmas

Friday May 1, 2026

Hello

It's time to do another challenge over at

Sparkles Christmas #184

Theme:  Gifts

I pondered on how to do gifts as a theme. I have stamps but I wasn't seeing a good design using them. So I went to my desk where my watercolor items are and I had some strips of water color paper so I took 2 strips and wet my watercolors - Altnew and Paul Ruben metallics and just laid colors down.. I let them dry for the day and then used My favorite thing stitch die, Simon says bow, and Stampin up bow.. I designed the gifts and embellished with diamond drills. I used snowflakes from Simon says and embossed them. I used DRS vertical sentiment and embossed it.. I added a piece of washi tape on the bottom for grounding the gifts.
