Winter Watcher Version #3

It’s no secret that I am totally in love with the stamps over at Sweet Pea. And I have been busy coloring the stamp that I have from them. I have a couple works in progress, but I just had to get this one done… it has been in my head for a while and I didn’t want to lose the inspiration!

I needed to do a blue version. She’s the Winter Watcher, so it was just begging for blue! I used mixed media this time around… Twinkle H20’s and colored pencils. I am so pleased with how it all came out. Everything blended together so well… take a look at the cat’s eye!

Remember, you can click on any of the photos to see them bigger! I put the card together a bit differently. As you may have noticed, I have the stamped image coming off of the card. Yeah, it may be a little trickier to mail, but I love that it’s unexpected. I just didn’t want to do another vertical card, and i really wanted those mats on there. I added some fiber and some awesome foiled paper from K & Co.

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
