Mushroom and Snail Watercolor

Hello, my friends!

I had a watercolor practice session today featuring a mushroom and snail.   I used a tutorial from Maria Raczynska on Patreon.    I totally love Patreon and I am learning so much.

• Holbein Watercolor
• Arches 140# Cold Press Paper

It's pouring rain and the wind is very blustery.   I am bundled up with my flannel jacket and think it is a great day for watching movies at home!  


Take care!

Special Moments to Remember

Happy New Year!   It's 2018 and I wonder what your hopes and dreams are for the new year...  Beyond the usual plan to lose a few pounds, I plan to take more time learning watercolor and oil painting.   I also plan on traveling more and to take a class by Annie Lebovitz in Photography!    My trips for the New Year will be a 21 day rail trip across Canada and a 21 day trip in France.    Now that's a big agenda!

And now for our Heartfelt Creations Camelia Carnation card for this week.     I decided to create a window card that will have some dimension bt not enough to prevent it from being mailed in a mailer.    I also wanted to create a card that can be used for any occasion.

Dark Green Cardstock, Ranger Clear Crackle Paint, heat tool, double sided tape, rhinestones, Copic Alcohol Ink Markers (Flower - RV81, RV83, RV69, RV17, RV21 and  Leaves - YG91, YG93, YG95,  YG99,  YG03).



Cut heavy white cardstock at 5 1/2 x 11 in.   Score at 5 1/2 in. to create a top folding card.  Cut the green cardstock at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches.   Find the designer paper with the water scene and cut at 5 x 5 inches.

 Adhere the layers  with double sided tape and  cut a window using the large Eyelet Oval and Basics Large Die.    Also cut a white eyelet  frame using the same die set to adhere around the outer edge of the window using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.   The die nest perfectly and creates a beautiful eyelet around the window.

Apply Ranger Clear Crackle paste to the corners of the card and sprinkle with Rajni's Frosting Powder.   Heat set.   The longer the heat is applied to the powder and crackle paint, the  puffier the frosting.   The amount of puffiness will be a personal preference.

Stamp the Fanciful Carnation Cling Stamp on X-Press It Blending Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.   Color the image with Copic Alcohol Ink Markers (Flower - RV81, RV83, RV69, RV17, RV21 and  Leaves - YG91, YG93, YG95,  YG99,  YG03).

Cut the  Fanciful Die four times from green cardstock and adhere  together with clear adhesive.  Adhere the colored image on top and allow to dry.   This will give some dimensional and allow the flower to "pop".     Using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive, adhere the flower to the window, as shown on the picture.   Apply three rhinestones at the upper right hand side of the card.

Create a Bendi- Card by following these easy and wonderful instructions  by Cheryl on YouTube > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMiPKozFUCI     

The card was altered by creating a blue cardstock layer 1/4 inch smaller in width and height  than the base card and designer paper layers 1/4 inch smaller in length and height than the base layer.  The designer paper was from the Camelia.  The picture of the bridge was selected from the paper collection and cut with the oval die from the Eyelet Oval and Basics Large Dies.  The eyelet oval mat was cut from blue cardstock.   The oval scene was adhered on the bottom half with Designer Dries clear adhesive and adhered to the card.   

The flowers were cut from the Camelia Carnation stamp and cut with the coordinating die.   They were assembled using the Basic Flower Mold.  Final shaping was done with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.   It wasn't needed but I am addicted to it so I use it for everything!    The flowers were colored with the following ink pads - Rose Coral, Rouge and Blue Iris ColorBox Fluid Chalk Inkpads and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink.   The leaves were sponged with Memento Olive Grove.    

The flowers were adhered to the card  with a hot glue gun.  The sentiment was cut from the Camelia Carnation Paper Collection.
