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!

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a page i Hello crafty friends!  Today I am sharing a page in my ATC journal. I had so much fun playing with foam stamps from @joggles to create backgrounds! The backgrounds were created using a mix of acrylic paint and watercolors. I then stamped on each background using a combination of foam stamps: Punchinella Dots, Number Stack, and Alpha Stack.  I was able to create textures using these stamps with both paint and water.

The backgrounds were used to create today’s project! Be sure to check out the collection of foam stamps @joggles - they are really cool and have a lot of possibilities!

For my project today I am using the beautiful Floral Elements stamp and coordinating die set! I started by creating ink smooshed backgrounds using Distress Ink. I then stamped and heat embossed the florals and leaves. I then die cut them with the new coordinating dies. I added more depth and color using Distress Watercolor Pencils. I created the background panel using the Blue Palette Paper Collection, as well as a baseboard frame, and the blossom field embossing folder. I completed the project with a Tiny Text sentiment and die cut using the new coordinating sentiment strip dies! I love the new shapes in this die set!
