Soft and Subtle Watercolor Card

 Hi There!
Jerri here to share a very quick card I created for a new baby girl. I am such a procrastinator sometimes! I mean I've had months and months to get this done but I waited until the very last minute!  Do you do this?  Sometimes I can really have my act together but not lately.

Thankfully this card came together really quick and easy and I feel like it could be easily done using a variety of sentiments and images.

Today I'm using an image from A Day for Daisies. This image is called Fuzzy Bunnies.  I love all of the beautiful images at this shop.  This is a digital image, which I wouldn't normally recommend using for a water color project however, if you are careful, it can be done. You can watch all of the details on how I did it in my video below as well.

I printed the digital image onto some Canson XL watercolor paper and then heat set it to help keep the digital stamp from smearing during the water color process.  The image was taped down to a board using painters tape and then I used my water colors to create the soft pastel background.

Once the background was done, I used a Tim Holtz Distress Marker in the color "Pumice Stone" to color the bunnies. 

I used a sentiment from Technique Junkies stamped with Versafine Ink and then finished off my card by attaching 3 Metallic hearts next to the sentiment and spritzing the entire card front with Heidi Swapp Color Spray in White, which gave it a beautiful shimmer.

This card was cut down to a 5 1/2 x 5 inch card and then mounted on a piece of colored card stock cut slightly larger.

I plan to enter this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz- Challenge #458 All Creatures Great & Small

Pammies Inky Pinkies-Challenge 1916 Anything Goes

Creative Fingers-Challenge #162

Creative Moments-Challenge #167

It's a Coffee Kind of Day

Hi There-- Today I'm sharing a card I made for my niece's birthday.  This is one of my favorite images from Mo Manning's Digital Pencil.    

This image comes with a sentiment that says "love you more than coffee" and then another sentiment which I stamped on the inside of this card (sorry, I didn't include a photo) which says "and that's saying a latte."  I just love to color this image.  I posted a card quite a while back that I had made using this same image. You kind find it HERE if you'd like to see that one too.

Since my Niece's name starts with an "M" I drew one on this coffee mug to make personalized!  Who wouldn't love a personalized mug?!  I used a black glaze pen to free hand the "M". I try to add these little personal touches whenever I can.

Copics Used:

Skin: E04, E11, E01, E00, R21

Hair: E49, E47, E53, E50

Shirt: B26, B24, B23

Mug/Belt: YG23, YG25

This is a digital image which I printed on Neenah 80# Solar White card stock. After coloring the image I matted it with a piece of paper from my stash and then mounted to my card. I then rounded the bottom corners to add some interest.

I plan to enter this card into the following challenges:

Feeling Spoilt

Things have been super crazy around my house lately but I thought I would get out a really quick card for a friend who has a birthday coming up.  Please make sure to head over to my YouTube channel as well by clicking on the video below to see how I colored this card.

As I said, it's been really crazy and I didn't even realize I had made a few little mistakes on this card until I was editing the video!  Oh well, I fixed them later but the picture was done, the video was done and I didn't have the time to re-do them.  Sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches.

This adorable image is from All Dressed UP and she was so so fun to color.  

Copics used:

Skin: E11, E21, E00, E000

Dress: B04, B02, B00, B000

Hair: E47, E43, E53, E50

Gift/Leaves: YG05, YG03

Rose/Cheeks: R21

Other Items used: Spellbinder die for frame, Metallic Jelly Roll pen for drink, Prisma Color Pencils to make final detail and finishing touches.

The "Celebrate" sentiment is a digital image from Desert Diva.

I printed the image out on Neenah 80# Solar White yardstick and then when I finished coloring her I decided to use the sentiment which is also a digital image.  I took a risk by putting my colored project through the printer but luck was on my side today!  I cut out the frame with a Spellbinder die to use as a background for the image.  I usually like to keep things simple so I thought it was enough.

I plan to enter this card into the following challenge:

Chloe and Escargot!

Hello!  It's been a very busy, crazy week.  It has actually taken me days to try and get this blog post done.  The weather has been fantastic!  I think we may have finally turned the corner and can maaaaybeee tell Winter goodbye.  Sounds like there's a chance for some snow AGAIN this weekend but it shouldn't stick so no worries. I'm not going to let a few snow flakes get me down.
