Koi Fish

Tonight I did these Koi fish.  I will have to try again. I did one of them with the tutorial from Let's make Art and one with the live show. 


Maybe the third time will be the charm.

Treat holder

I did these simple treat holders at the recent card class I taught.  It is made over a Merci chocolate.  I learned it from the Paper Pixie.  The link is below

Scalloped Tag Treat Holder


Watercolor Feathers

I have kind of fallen in love with making these feathers. I see a lot more in my future. They are fun to use to practice techniques.  I learned to do them from Let's Make Art.  Here is a like to the video.

Here is my first one 



And there were two


I did them on a couple of pages. I was practicing more than trying to make a single piece 


After doing the poppies, I had so much red out, I did a red one. 

Resist cards continue

I have made a lot of these resist cards. I still love doing them. 

The words are a die I got. I am not sure who made it.

Father's Day Cup



I hope putting a video here works.  I made this for my dad for Father's Day. I had painted it and then baked the cup in the oven to set the paint. I had to be careful what cup and paint I used. I am hoping it will last for a while. 

Watercolor Poppies

I am taking a watercolor class from Let's Make Art.  I will not be posting the painting I have done so far in order but I thought it would be good to document the work here. 


The first picture is an in progress painting.  I was shocked how easy the poppies are to do.  Just paint to opposite petals with a small white space between. Let that dry. Then go back with a brush with just water and add the other petals. 


This next photo was the final painting. 


I had so much paint on the pallet I did these too.  I will use them on a birthday card for work. 


Let's Make Art also does Let's Make Art Matter- They send a watercolor postcard with their monthly kit. It is addressed and stamped to be sent to someone who could use some support.  This was my version of the card she made.

Backing Birthday

I  did this tonight with a Silhouette cut file.  Going to give it to a girl at work.  The happy birthday stamp is from Stampin Up.  She loves baking so I hope it will make her smile

These are some cards I did a few weeks ago. 

The top one was a printed background I incorporated into the card.  The flower is wooden. 


On the card above, I inked the background. The trees are layered die cuts.

Bracelets for Woman at church


A few of these were pre-made but then I made more for all the women in my church for Mother's Day 


Playing with Card Making


I played making cards a couple weeks ago. 

The one above was made with an Altenew die. 
The background is the new Stampin Up basket weave embossing folder. 

These cards below were done designed with the Paper Pumpkin kit. I didn't totally follow the design. 



The card below included flowers I stamped using Altenew's Vintage Roses stamp and dies.  The rest of it was from the Paper Pumpkin kit. 



The background on the card below was done stamping the flower over and over on the background. Most of the parts were from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

Rising to Celebrate



I pieced and colored this Unity stamped image. The balloons were punched out with a Stampin Up punch.  The word was die cut.

The background paper was paper that was real denim fabric.

Irises


I have some lovely irises this year. It is super nice to see in my tiny yard. 

I brought them from Idaho when I moved to Michigan. 





Die cutting piecing


 I got a new die I played with this last weekend.  I got it out of multiple colors and then insert the pieces back in.  I then made this card for my niece however I have lots more to play with in the future.
