Happy Valentines Day!

Today I have a Valentines Day Card. I used the Hero Arts 2018 January Kit along with some other things in my stash. It's a fun sorta grungy card with sparkle and shine.

Have a wonderful Valentines Day!

Card - So Grateful Friend

Here is another friendship card I will be giving out. On this card I used the flowers and stems I had been experimenting with using the Kaisercraft Watercolor Friends stamp and die set. This set is a layering stamp set with 3 stamps for the flower and 2 for the leaves. The idea is to use one color, often the lightest, for the base shape and subsequently darker colors for the next layers. I used a lighter color for the base, darker for the petal definition, and instead of black or dark brown a metallic yellow. I ended up stamping the yellow 2 to 3 times to get the coverage I wanted. These stamps are pretty easy to line up and I like that the flower doesn't have a uniform shape as this makes it much easier to line the die up correctly.

Have a wonderful friend filled day!

#553 Flowers and Leaves

ATC Flower #48

#550 Flower Large

The next few posts are going to be flowers, and then there will be several posts of cards I made for the restaurant staff at the hotel Laudenella, Switzerland. Most of the cards, from this post through the restaurant card posts, I gave away to hotel and restaurant staff and to airline stewards and stewardesses. I enjoy giving my cards out to people who have been really helpful, to random people, and to people I like.

#551 Flower Large

It never ceases to surprise me how happy people are to receive a card, especially when they have been watching me doodle one. Sometimes it takes them a few minutes to understand that I don't want anything in return. It seems that it is more unusual to be given something without any expectations of return than I realize. I get joy from giving the cards out and that is good.

Have a beauitful day!

ATC Birthday

#548 Happy Birthday

These two ATCs went out with Birthday Happy Mail. The names were in the empty part of the leaf. I scanned them before putting in the names so that you can print them out and write in a name :)  Enjoy them.

Have a happy day!

#549 Happy Birthday

ATC Flower #47

#546 Flower Large

Here are two flowers that I doodled in April. They finish 2016's first quarter of ATC's. My backlog of cards is getting smaller, but in the meantime I'm making more.

I want to use some hand-lettered quotes in the album I'm making of our vacation. So... I am doing some experimenting and making some ATCs with quotes. Some quotes are applicable and some are just for fun. I will post them after I'm caught up... That's funny, since I keep creating, I'll never be caught up on posting.

Have a creative day!

ATC Flower #30

Flowers shaded and unshaded are today's fare. I thought about shading #417, but decided I liked it the way it is. #418, though, was begging to be shaded.

Have a wonderful day!

16x12 Rabbit Flowers

I have been working on this piece off and on for about 2 weeks. Being in a mood, I tossed watercolor and stuff at the paper. Once I settled down, I decided there was a rabbit romping in flowers hidden in the mess and here he is. It's finished simply because I'm done with it :)

Have a bright and beautiful June day!

Happy Mother's Day!

I did these a while back, around the time of our staycation. Since then, I have been having difficulty getting back into things (including blogging, obviously).

I am so glad I got several white gell pens, because I have been highlighting everything, well, nearly all my art. It is so much fun and looks neat.

Have a fabulous Mother's Day!
