Picket Fence – African Aeonioum Succulent

January 20, 2020

I have been working on taking the Online Road Trip Coloring class by Kathy Racoosin. I am loving this class and have learned a lot from her already! Her coloring is beyond amazing and I am always looking for ways to improve mine! In her class she talks about leaving a sweet spot (white space), as well as the nooks and crannies. I’m working on leaving a white space! I love the idea of adding pencils to the nooks and crannies! I truly feel like it has given my designs more texture and depth! If you haven’t already, be sure to check out her class! I truly LOVE IT!

I started by stamping this beautiful succulent by Picket Fence using versafine ink onto Canson watercolor paper. I took her advice (Kathy Rac) and didn’t heat emboss this image. I then water colored this image using my tombow dual brush pens. I used 2 colors for this card. I took my time to let the layers dry and then add more color once it was dry!

I then cut my stamped image into a square. I added some metallic watercolor splatter to sections of my card panel. I decided to add it mainly to the white space for some extra detail. I chose a sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh and heat embossed this in white embossing powder. I popped the sentiment onto the panel using foam tape and adhered the panel to my black card base.

Card Materials:

  • Stamp: Picket Fence Aeonioum African Succulent
  • Paper: Canson Watercolor Paper, card base Recollections 110
  • Coloring Medium: Tombow Brush Pen
  • Metallic Water color – Hobby Lobby

Thank you for stopping by!

Sweet Memories Release

January 20, 2020

I am excited to share with you a beautiful release by Graciellie Design… Sweet Memories!

Stop by the shop…. AMAZING sale and new release….. https://gracielliedesign.shop/

I started by printing these beautiful images on Bristol Smooth card stock. I colored the images using my arteza real brush pens. I added a small amount of color, then pulled the color out using my water brush pen. Once my first layer was dry, I continued to add colors to give my images more dimension. I also added colored pencils to the nooks and crannies of my images to add further dimension. I hope you enjoy this card! Be sure to check out Graciellie Design for this beautiful release!

Thank you for stopping by!

Crafty hugs, Natasha

Welcome – a little about me!

January 19, 2020

I am so happy you are here! I am excited to begin this next step in my card making by creating my own blog! I have to admit I am excited and nervous at the same time! So let’s get started!

I began crafting over 20 years ago. I started with scrapbooking! I truly loved scrapbooking and learned a lot through creating albums. I was introduced to card making by a co-worker! I went to a Stampin Up party and was instantly hooked! I have been doing some form of crafting for over 20 years! My love of making colorful cards began a couple years ago! I love to create bright colorful cards, show me a floral stamp and I am hooked!

Thank you for taking this creative journey with me!

Have a great week – I look forward to my first card post!
