Hello Everyone, I love exploring new methods and getting messy with Watercolor paints once in awhile. Removing and using those paints left in my palettes for card bases is a great time to do that.
– 3 Examples of watercolor techniques used in card making –
Plus the bonus of using up those paints is I have paper that looks so pretty when I make my cards. Then after I’m done, all my palettes are ready for me to paint all those designs I have in mind. Hope you too can have fun in your craft room or art studio along with me watching Part 1 of this two part video.
Happy Creating,

Hello Everyone, Card making gives me so much joy and is so meaningful to those who will receive them.

These sympathy cards will be just the right thing to send someone experiencing a loss. I also want to show you my desk I work on making cards. I’m excited to share with you my new workspace I just had to organize! Lots of tips to share. Sharing and caring…so much fun.

Hello Everyone, Waking up to the beautiful snow early in the morning is one of my favorite things to see. The beauty of it on the trees, the sidewalks where no one has walked or shoveled yet, it’s so peaceful and beautiful that time of day. Thinking of this beach scene is also something I love to think about.

The sun on a warm day in the Summer, enjoying the scenes of Summer “Up North” Michigan – my favorite place in the world. I love painting from my photos of our vacations. While keeping cozy and warm in the craft room I enjoyed painting this picture.

Hello Everyone, I love mixing paint colors together.
Artist palette, brushes and sketch
This yellow rose had deep darker colors of yellow, light colors of yellow, a little bit of orange, and a little bit of red – all those pretty warm colors. All these colors make me think of warmer weather in the Summer. I used a few of my Inktense Watercolor pencils which are very vibrant colors. Hope you have fun watching this video as much as I had fun painting this rose.

Hello Everyone, I love designing and creating with scraps and pretty papers I have to make cards. I hope I give you some ideas to make pretty Valentine cards with the tips I talk about. Buying a Christmas wreath at 80% off at JoAnn Fabrics and decorating it with Valentine’s ribbon, etc. was a joy. You will see it in this video. I also show you the gifts I will give everyone this Valentine’s.

Hello Everyone, I had so much fun painting these adorable booties for a baby boy. They were a gift to my daughter for her son (she had twins – a boy and a girl) 2 1/2 years ago. I changed the colors of them and the blanket a bit and had fun creating that. Last week I painted the booties for her daughter.

I painted a border around the card for my first time and was happy how it turned out.
