Water Colour Challenge at 613 Avenue Create



 Time for another great challenge over at 613 Avenue Create, as always it is an Anything Goes Challenge and the optional twist is Watercolor. 

The stamp I used for this card has been in my collection for many years.  The stamp is called Floral Collage and it is a stamp from the Tapestry Studio collection from Stamps Happen Inc. 

To watercolur the image I used Caran d'Ache Neocolor 11. I have not had my watercolor crayons out for a long time and I realized that I need to get back to doing more watercolor.

Thank you for stopping by and have a Creative week.  Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team.

I am entering this card in the following Challenges - 

A Perfect Time to Craft - Always Anything Goes
A Bit more time to Craft - Always anything goes
Creative Fingers - Anything Goes

Home for the Holidays


My turn at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges this week to chose the theme of this challenge and I thought it would fun to do a Christmas card with an outdoor theme. 

The stamp I used for this challenge is an old stamp from my collection by Stamps Happen, Inc. called "There's no place like home for the holidays".    I added colour to my image with my Copic Markers, glitter pen and white gell pen.  For the snow effect I used Flower Soft then added some red pearls to finish off the card.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  Hope you will join us at Holly Jolly this week.  Stop by our blog and see all of the beautiful cards by created by the design team to inspire you.

Magic Is Something You Make


Fashionable Stamping Challenges (#22) this week has an interesting challenge, create something that is "Mystical and Very Magical". When I saw the challenge I immediately thought of a Wizard rubber stamp from Stamps Happened, Inc. that I had in my stash. I coloured the wizard with my Pilot gold pen and my Copic Markers.

I searched my stash for elements to make up my tag. I used a cloud stamp on the background then added stars, Diamond Glaze , a metal "spirit" tag, fibers, and a sentiment. I trimmed the edges of many of the elements with my Krylon Gold pen to make the elements pop out.

Thank you for stopping by and have a magical day.
