Fabric, Beautiful Fabric!

Thought I would show you a placemat I just finished quilting using the Beautiful Fabric from Stampin' Up!  This line of fabric is called " Flirtatious" and I LOVE IT!  Pinwheels are really big right now and I felt this fabric was screaming to me to create something with pinwheels, so here we are!

I used a "Bitty Button" in the middle of each pinwheel with a small circle of fabric in behind it.  This really says "Summer" to me.
That's all for now!

YOU CAN WATERCOLOR ON YOUR SCRAPBOOK PAGES TOO!

Hello, hope the summer is treating you good, wherever you are, ours has finally seemed to turn around a bit so I have been soaking it in!
I have one more posting for you to show you my examples of watercoloring for your scrapbook pages! (After all, it is what I love to do the very best!)  I took the same design as for one of my earlier cards, added a few embellishments and photo's and voila! 

Well that's all for now, I am off to work on some beautiful fall cards for a swap so I will be back to show you once I have those done!

Happy Stampin!

WEEK OF WATERCOLOR! - SUNDAY

The week has come to an end...and so my last posting example for my Wonderful Week of Watercolor!

This has to be one of my favorites.  This again is just a simple loose coloring onto the image with the Watercolor Wonder Crayons (Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango) and then used the blender pen to pull the colors together.  I finished this rose off with a few dew drops by adding crystal effects to the petals.  I think this coloration works so beautifully with our new in color for this catalogue year, Calyspo Coral.  I could not resist adding 3 beautiful pearls as a final embellishment!
Have these last 7 days of wonderful watercoloring intrigued you?  Want to try this technique yourself and become an instant artist?  Tomorrow I will tell you how you can join me in Watercolor Wonder!

Happy Stampin!

WEEK OF WATERCOLOR! - SATURDAY

Hope you are enjoying your Saturday, I have plans to be outside, today is FINALLY supposed to be filled with sunshine!  I know most area's of Canada are experiencing summer, but here in Kelowna where good weather in the summer is usually the norm, it has not really hit us yet, so here's hoping!
I won't leave you today without an addition to my wonderful week of watercolor...

I wouldn't want you to think watercoloring was only for flowers!  Yes, I love flowers, but I also love the watercolor look on other images too.  This is such a great stamp.  It is from the Loads of Love stamp set.  I used a masking technique to design the card, stamping the trees with Old Olive ink and the truck and it's passengers with Staz On ink.  I used markers to color in the grass and road area and the blender pen to pull color into the white areas between the marker accent areas.  I used watercolor wonder crayons to color in clouds in the sky and the blender pen to pull the color from the clouds into the white areas between the clouds.  The watercolor wonder crayons and the blender pen were also used on the truck and it's passengers.  I used Shimmer Paint on the hub caps, bumpers, and door handle to add a bit of BLING to the truck.  So there you have it, one more option for those fabulous watercolor wonder crayons!

Happy Stampin!
