Big Hugs with Polkadoodles


 Don't you just love big word dies?  This Big Hugs metal die set from Polkadoodles is perfect for getting your message across, without a lot of time and worry.  I love how this set can be the sole, large element on a card front.  I layered the cut outs with some black cardstock over some of the new paper, also from the Sweet Moments collection called Devine Hearts.  If you look closely, you'll see I also fussy-cut some of the hearts from another sheet of paper from the same pack.

I used my Beam paints to watercolour the letters in the word "HUGS" using the following colours:

Black
Blueberry Mountain (New and old)

Mo's Digital Pencil "Fairy Tuttle"

 Sometimes, you just have to check your own attitude.  This image from Mo's Digital Pencil, reminded me of a petulant little waif who needs to "check herself".  So I coloured her up using my Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils and made her into a planner page lol.  Just a little something to remind myself that sometimes we need to step back and observe our own character for a minute.



I love colouring this image and I plan to colour more from Mo's Digital Pencil in the near future.  I love those dwarfs too!

Do Small Things With Love with Polkadoodles

 Have you seen Polkadoodles' Sweet Moments new release yet?  OMG!  These critters are so sweet, I don't think I can handle it :)  I created this valentine's card using the bear with a star stamp from the Do Small Things With Love stamp and die set.    I've layered up the card panel on some fun mixed media background paper from the Pretty Colourful paper pack.


I am currently away from home and have to work with what I have in my possession lol.  For this card I watercoloured the image and the background with my Beam watercolour paints, created locally to where I am right now.

Beam Paints colours used:

Cherry Magenta
Harvest Wheat
Fireweed
Cub Brown
Bread
Black

Flutter By with Artful Angel

 I am here to share a watercoloured card with you today using one of my most favourite Artful Angel stamps called Flutter By.



This is such a versatile stamp, and by not including a sentiment...this card could be used for any situation, including just a notecard!  I've also coloured this image many times, and each time I do, it looks unique.

I painted this card using my Beam Paints, created right here in Northern Ontario Canada.  I am currently within a stone's throw from their shop and I plan to treat myself with a few more colours ;)

Beam Paints, colours used:

Robin's Egg
Blueberry Mountain (new and old)
Wild Salmon
Mars Violet
Harvest Wheat
Cub Brown
Mars Black
Wintery Night

Have a great day!  I will see you peeps again soon :)

Thought of You Today with Santoro Gorjuss Stamp

 Hello again friends, it's me :)  I am sharing a card today featuring a Santoro Gorjuss stamp called The Fox.


This project was coloured with my Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils and layered over some patterned paper from my stash.  I also used the heart dies from two different AALL & Create die sets (Heartnook and Intricatags) and the sentiment die is from Creative Expressions.

I'll be back again soon!
