Sorry I've been neglecting my blog. I was swamped making a power point presentation and 80 copies of it for my daughter's 6th grade class. It was a bit time consuming hehe. 
Happy Mother's Day! I made this pink creation for my special Mom. I don't know what I'd do without her love and support. I got these two flower stamps on my trip to FL last week. I took a little road trip from Orlando while the hubby was conventioning, to New Smyrna Beach and found the neatest little stamp store. I would be thrilled to tell you who makes them, but it's handwritten on the stamps and I can't read it. The line is all sorts of flowers (tulips, daisies, etc.) and just pretty as all get out. The base of the card is the triangular stamp then the single flower is cut out and mounted on top with dimensionals. I colored them with various pink colored pencils and blended with mineral spirits. I made the little pop out message just for fun...something new I'd never tried. Thanks for looking!
I made this card for my mother in law who had surgery this week. The flowers were hers as well. I used the Penny Black lily stamp and my SU markers. I added some Bella baubles in green on the left. I wanted the stamens (at least I think that's what they're called) to stand out a bit, so I used a strong black on them with a tiny paintbrush. I sponged around all the paper edges with Holtz distress ink in brushed corduroy. Hope you like it. 
A friend told me about this tutorial on Michelle Zindorf's blog (clik here to see). I am astounded by her art and had to give this background a try. She used a neat table and glass on her beach...I had a sandcastle so had to make due. I had fun creating it...pick a tutorial of hers and give it a try...you'll be amazed at what you can do! 
This is a cute new stamp by Stampabilities. The line is called "Gruffies". I am nuts about their House Mouse line and looks like I have a new one to enjoy! This card was for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #44. I was anxious to use the new stamp and think the little bears turned out really neat. Hope you like them!
This is my first Bella Card. If you aren't familiar with them...don't say I didn't warn you. They are adorable and addictive! Here's a link to the site. I used the colored pencils on this one, blending with the mineral spirits again. This is just too fun. 
This is a sweet fairy I did for a swap where we had to use some sort of sewing on the project. I used my sewing maching to do the zigzag outlines on the background. The paper across the bottom looks like it has a loop sort of stitching, but that's printed. I stamped the fairy (Lizzie Annie Designs) with Staz On and painted her with watercolor pencils and twinkling H2o's. I added SU Crystal Effects to make her wings stand out more. I stuck a little light blue gem on the top of her wand. I think she's cute, hope you enjoy her!
I have been coloring since I was a little girl. I was always happy with a box of crayons and a few color books! As I’ve grown up this hasn’t changed…well other than now my crayons are Copic markers and my color books are card stock.
This blog is where I enjoy sharing my passion for coloring and creating special pieces of art with my work.
I hope you enjoy your visit and find something inspiring.
