Watercolour Seasons

 Digging through my stash of stamps and coloured the card with my watercolour pencils, for a four-season card.

Travel Collage

 My card today is for a travel theme swap, since we are unable to travel in real time, we are travelling through our art.

The center panel of my card is a artist trading card real rubber stamp that I have had for years. I heat embossed the image and water coloured the image with distress oxide inks. I then sponged the edges of the designer paper before assembling the card.

Thanks for looking today.......

Tropical Sunrise

This is Joanne's last challenge for this month on the CCEE Stampers blog.

This week’s ‘theme’ is RELAXATION.  Create a card that depicts RELAXATION to you.  Can be a place where you are relaxed or what you do to relax.


When it come to relaxing and just getting away from the everyday routine, we like to spend time by the ocean. Many times we have walked hand in hand watching the sunrise. One day we hope to travel to the the west coast to watch a sunset over the ocean.

For my card I have created a scene with the Gina K Framed tropical skies stamp set. I have used several distress inks for the watercoloured background.

Stencil and Watercolour

This week's challenge with the CCEE Stampers team is to show us your favorite technique in cardmaking. Maybe it is embossing, fancy folds, paper piecing, multilayered stamping, paper piercing, collage, etc. We will enjoy seeing what you have to offer in fun techniques.

I really don't have a favourite technique but dabble is a few things and enjoy them all, but my go to for a quick card as I am generally time poor, is using a stencil and a sponge for a background and watercolouring with distress inks.

Happy holidays

Well Christmas is nearly here, I have only made 4 Christmas cards, I hope to get some more done once I start my holidays.
Todays card was inspired by several challenges, mojo164, C4C63, CCEE1046.
I picked up a small pack of designer paper the other day and they really go well together. I coloured the image with water colour crayons. I didn't have any grosgrain ribbon that matched, so I used my copics to colour the ribbon and thread that attaches the button.
Supplies:
Stamps: Penny Black - christmas critters
Paper: Kaisercraft DP - dear santa collection, DCWV brights mat stack.
Other: Grosgrain ribbon, embroidery thread, staples,copic violet, watercolour crayons,button, nestabilities, ds tape, black ink
