Splashes of Watercolor

With Sympathy - Color Throwdown #598

~

Happy Wednesday, y'all!  It's time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our generic colors are Pink, Aqua, Gold, and White.  (And you can use any other neutrals that you wish.)

~

~

I used a lot of gray in my card this week, but that's because it's a sympathy card and also because I wanted my gold sentiment to show up better on the darker cardstock.  Isn't this image beautiful?  And it's so easy to color!

~

I hope you will play along with us!  Check out the CTD blog for details and the blogs of these lovely and talented ladies:

A Collection of A Day For Daisies Favorites

 

Hi ADFD Friends,

The ADFD Blog is closing, so a few of the present and past design team members have come together for a blog hop.

Today is the first day of our ADFD Blog Hop - a celebration of all of the beautiful images Tammy has created over the years. As a special surprise for Tammy, we have a combination of current and former DT members participating in the hop. Her inspiring art and generous heart have touched us all. We want to take a moment to show our gratitude and thank Tammy for the blessings and joys we have received as members of the ADFD DT.

I’ve chosen to show you a creation I made with one of my favorite images of Tammy’s, although it was really hard to choose just one – At the Sea with Sister.  I’m a huge beach lover and often go with my little sister, so this was a natural.

~

~

Our theme is “A Collection of ADFD Favorites” - so each DT member’s blog you visit will share something she has created with one of her favorite ADFD images. The hop has hidden prizes - a commenter from each hidden prize stop will win a choice of one image from the ADFD Shop! You won’t know where the prizes are hidden, so be sure to leave a comment at each stop of the Hop! Our Blog Hop will run from 7:00 a.m. eastern standard time on Saturday, February 25, 2017 until 9:00 p.m. eastern standard time on Tuesday, February 27, 2017.

In addition to the Blog Hop, we invite you to share your Favorite ADFD image in the final ADFD Blog Challenge. The linky will stay open until Friday, March 3rd. All prize-winners will be announced on the ADFD Blog on Saturday, March 4, 2017. We hope you will join our celebration of the thousands of images Tammy has created.  Rules for the challenge are posted on the right sidebar of the ADFD Blog - the last spot of the stop! Are you ready to HOP?!?

It's a Child's World - ADFD Showcase: Take Two

~

Happy Friday!!

This week the A Day For Daisies  girls are showing off more of the It’s A Child’s World showcase of images.  I chose to color the image called Three Helpers.  Isn’t it wonderful?

~

~

The latest challenge at the A Day For Daisies blog is to USE DIMENSIONAL FLOWERS.  I added a flower and some ribbon on top of my water colored panel before layering on my fussy cut, Copic colored image with foam mounting tape.

~

~

I’m also entering this card in to the Card Concept #49 challenge.  My style is Clean & Layered.

Today is my final card and post as an ADFD Design Team member.  After 4 years, I felt like it was time to step down and let these girls take over.  Maybe now I’ll have a  little more personal time, which I’m sure my kids and grandkids will be glad to fill!

Have a wonderful weekend, y’all!

Jack & Jill went up the hill...

~

Happy Friday!

For the next 2 weeks we’re showcasing a collection called It’s a Child’s World at A Day For Daisies.

Today I have  colored the adorable Jack & Jill.

~

~

Since the image is done in such a retro style (Margaret Evans Price style) I decided to use primary colors and a gingham ribbon to show it off.  I colored it with Copic markers and added a few sequins for a little dimension and interest.

~

~

I used this week’s MOJO Monday Sketch #435 for the layout

~

~

You really should check out all the super cute images in this collection at the A Day For Daisies shop or at the ADFD blog. You can also see them by visiting with the rest of the design team:

Happy Friday!

It’s time for Take Two of the A Day For Daisies February Club Kit.  This week I’m using Stick Horse Ride.  Isn’t she cute!?

We’re starting a new challenge this week too.  Add a touch of wood!

~

~

I printed her on Copic X-Press it paper and colored her with my Copic markers.  I lightly sponged on some background dots and added a line of Copic V04 and some woodgrain washi tape on the left edge and 2 lines (V04 and V15) along the right edge.

I’m entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge – One Layer.

Purrfect Love - A Valentine Showcase

~

Happy Friday!  I’m so glad the weekend is almost here!

Today on the A Day For Daisies blog we’re showing off our favorite Valentine images and using an inspiration board to create a card (or project).

~

~

I chose the adorable Purrfect Love for my card.  It’s a simple but super sweet image of 2 cats forming a heart with their tails!

~

~

I colored them with my Kuretake Zig Clean Color pens, then popped them up on foam tape over the “smooshed” watercolor background.  That wonderful sentiment was stamped using the Concord & 9th Sophisticated Script stamp set, then highlighted with a white gel pen.

I’m also entering my card into these challenges:

ADDICTED TO CAS #80 – Code word RED:

Rolling Momma's Yarn

Hello, friends, and happy, happy Friday!  Yay!

I’ve got another sweet image from the A Day For Daisies Cozy Day Showcase to show you today!  This one is called Rolling Momma’s Yarn and I think it’s just precious!

~

~

She’s colored with my Copic markers and completely hand trimmed with scissors and a craft knife.  I also drew and hand cut her little rug.  The sentiment is from the WPlus9 set Fresh Cut Florals.

My layout is from this week’s retrosketches #198:

A Wish Under the Sea

~

Happy, happy Friday, peeps!

This week and next the ADFD team will be showcasing an eclectic collection of images called “Cozy Day”.  The image I chose for this week is called A Wish Under the Sea.  What a sweet, sweet image!

~

~

I loved coloring this pair of sweeties using dye inks, Peerless watercolors, and my Copic markers.  The background is painted in ombre style (a little hard to see through all the sequins).  The hearts were die cut using Folk Hearts dies from the Essentials by Ellen line.  The sentiment is from Simply You by Technique Tuesday.

Our latest ADFD challenge is to Add Stitching, which I did by adding the faux stitching with a die cut to the card front.

My color palette today is from the Colour Q challenge cQc#324:

And I’m also entering my card into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge – Ombre.

That’s it for me today!  Please visit with and leave some love for the rest of the ADFD design team here:

Penguin Maiden - More Jan 2016 ADFD Club Kit goodness!

~

Well, I told you that you’d be seeing a lot of penguins!  This makes 3 to date!  Can you tell I just love these little cuties?

This one is Penguin Maiden and it looks like she may be ready for Valentine’s Day! 

~

~

She was printed on Copic X-Press It paper and colored with my Copic markers.  The image panel was cut with a Stitched Rectangles die and the beautifully scripted sentiment is from the Fancy Thanks set from the Essentials by Ellen line of stamps.  Some patterned paper, a few scattered sequins, and a few wraps of twine and she’s ready to be mailed to someone special!

I got the color combo from this week’s Sunday Stamps color challenge:
