Hi Everybody! I hope your week is great so far!

I just wanted to share one more watercolor experiment, I actually did this one before the first one.

Can you tell I love color!?

Fun Free Download – Keys

08/07/20142 Comments

Why hello there! I hope you’re doing fantastic!

I was clearing out some of my crafting things when I came across a bunch of random keys. I collect them to use for projects and stuff. Well, I thought it would be neat to scan them in to use in digital art or whatever.

I have uploaded two different formats – well I hope. The jpeg is supposed to have a white background the PNG is supposed to be a transparent background.

Feel free to download and play around with them. I thought they were cool so maybe you might too.

If you want to play around with they keys, and do not have Photoshop, there is a program to experiment with.

There is a really neat program that is very close to Photoshop called Pixlr Editor: http://pixlr.com/editor/ . It’s a web based program so you do not have to download anything and it is so much fun. I hope this helps.

Have fun!

Playing with Water Color

Hi Everybody!

I have had a bug to watercolor lately. My mom bought me a cool pack at the dollar store. I loved the colors, they were florescent! Also, instead of having the typical shinny finish they were matte, which is really neat.

This was one of my first experiments

I drew the image first with pencil, then water color then outlined in black marker

Have a wonderful Day!!

Happy Memorial Day

Adventures in Art Journaling – Spring Butterflies

Dylusions Ink spray!

I love this stuff.

Also used were stamps, black archival ink stamp pad,

and Tim Holtz distress dabber in white, markers, white gel pen.

Spray the card with a fine mist of water.

Then spray with Dylusions color ink spray.

Let dry.

Using the Tim Holtz Distress dabber in white,

I dabbed a flower stamp with the Distress paint then

stamped around the bottom of the card.

Using the same stamp, re-stamp the pattern slightly

off the first white pattern with the black stamp pad.

Use accent stamps for boarders.

The diamonds were dabbed with white, then outlined with a white gel pen.

Grab a blank index card, and spray with ink spray for butterflies.

Then stamp the inked index card with a butterfly stamp a few times. Cut them out,

To add detail, color in your stamped butterfly with markers,

then glue in place.

Let Dry.

Have fun!!

Make/Decorate Cards with Scrap Paper

04/16/2014Leave a comment

Making your own cards is such an awesome way to inspire someone, cheer someone up or simply let them know your thinking about them. Everyone loves to receive a card and if your like me you probably have tons of scraps somewhere.

What better way to use them up than to make cards! I try not to throw anything I can use in a later project away, which means I am always looking for ways to use up old scraps of paper! I made a bunch of inspirational cards last year, it was really fun, and it was a great way to use odd scraps.

Here are a few ideas to get those creative juices flowin’!
