Welcome to My Crafting Channel It't time for our new Monthly Challenge over at Silhouette Challenges & 2 Creative Chicks For the 2 Creative Chicks Showcase  I created a watercolor card. I made this card for a dear friend to let her know how much I appreciate all she has done for me. I know my coloring still has a long way to go but I'm having fun learning. I stamped the one of the Betsy Bluebell  stamps on   Ranger Distress Watercolor Cardstock . Used the  Kuretake Fude Real Brush Pen, Clean Color  pens to color in the stamp. From the  My Creative Time Dies (4x4 Journal Die + More)  I used the large die to cut the colored image out.  I cut the word thanks from the  My Creative Time Happy Thoughts Stamp Set . Then added  Wink of Stella Clear Glitter  to the word thanks, dark blue parts of her dress, the butterflies and the middle of the flowers. The card as well and the front and inside layers were cut using...

Welcome to My Crafting Channel Good morning everyone. It's time for this weeks challenge over at PDE Linky Party For this challenge I made this cute Thank you card. I was inspired by a video I watched on YouTube by Paper Trey Ink . I really needed a bolder stamp. I think this was to skinny so I did not get the best result. I did not have the cover plate mentioned in the video so I created one using my Silhouette. However, I think I should have made the panels bigger. I also used the Misti to ensure my stamping would align up perfectly.  This is a technique I will be trying again with some much need improvements on my part.

Welcome to My Crafting Channel Happy hump day everyone. It's been a while since my last post I have been spending a lot of time researching watercolors, makers etc. Water color is something I have wanted to dabble in for some time and thanks to Jennifer McGuire from Jennifer McGuire Ink  I have decided on the brands I think will work best for me. To ensure that I use what I have bought I'm going to start Watercolor Wednesday's each week. I used the  Kuretake Fude Real Brush Pen, Clean Color  for my first week. These can be used 6 different ways. If you would like to learn more Jennifer has several videos you watch. (see below) I kept it very simple this week by only coloring in a stamped image from  Mark's Finest Papers & Stamps  " Welcome Poppies " stamp set . I used the  Wink of Stella Clear Glitter  for blending. I love how easy the pens blend. I wish you could see the glimmer the flowers actually have. I also want to start using al...
