Maddie with Glasses Bookmark with Paper Nest Dolls

Good morning all!  I have a fun watercolor bookmark for you today featuring Maddie with Glasses from the Paper Nest Dolls :)

I used my Prima Watercolor Pencils to color her on some Prima Watercolor paper.  This pad of paper is 3 inches by 6.25 inches and is the perfect bookmark size!

I love to watercolor and this is one of my most favorite of the dolls, so why not combine the two!  The sentiment stamp is from my stash, and I used my Cotman water colors to complete the blue background.

I hope you enjoyed my inspiration project this month for the Paper Nest Dolls!  Don't forget our challenges run for the whole month and the theme is always Anything Goes!

When I watercolor I like to work on three or four projects at a time, this gives me something to do while I wait for my layers to dry.  And this project was no different...stay tuned on Friday for the other two projects I completed!

Party Chicks! with the Paper Nest Dolls!

Hello everyone, it's time for a new challenge at the Paper Nest Dolls!  I have chosen to create a card using one of Christine's newest images - "Party Chicks" :)

They are so cute, and I couldn't help but color them with some nice bright spring colors.

I colored them with my Copic markers and Lyra Rembrandt - Polycolor pencils.

I added some Doodlebug "Sugar Shoppe" paper and some Wink of Stella pen, and topped it off with some flowers and some enamel dots from my stash.

Come on and join us for the monthly challenge over at thepapernestdollschallenge.blogspot.ca

The theme is always anything goes ans you always have the whole month to join!

Troll Ellie appreciates kindness :)

Hello all from the weirdly warm Northwestern Ontario!  Seriously, it's plus 9 Celsius here today.  That is so weird for us for February!  This is when we would normally be having minus 30 degree weather!  Now, don't get me wrong, I like the warmth, but it also makes me wonder what is coming...

So on that note, I couldn't help but color up a fun and spring themed thank you card for Paper Nest Dolls this week :)  I colored "Troll Ellie" for this card and paired her with some Webster's Pages paper.  I added some die cuts to match and some Nuvo Crystal Drops, and here she is!

You can find the digital stamp version of this image in the online shop at Paper Nest Dolls.

Come and join us for the monthly challenge, you still have time!  The theme is always Anything Goes :)

See you soon!

Elf Emma with Lights and Paper Nest Dolls

Christmas is over and the new year is almost here!  Are you excited?  Did you make resolutions or goals for the new year?  I made a couple goals that I intend to reach this year!  And I'm excited to get started.

To finish the 2016 Paper Nest Dolls year off, I decided to color one of Christine's fabulous Christmas images.  This is Elf Emma with Lights:

I colored her using my Copics and Prismacolor Pencils and completed the card using paper from the Recollections "Say Freeze" collection and some adhesive pearls from my stash.  The sentiment is from my Stamp of Approval box and the stamp set was manufactured by Catherine Pooler Designs.

Stay tuned for more fun....Monday starts a new challenge at Paper Nest Dolls!

Challenge Time with Paper Nest Dolls and Vampire Owen

Hello everyone, it's challenge time Paper Nest Dolls, and I have chosen to create a fun Halloween card with Vampire Owen (I know, I'm a little late for Halloween lol!)

He is so cute, and I had him printed up for a while and sitting in my pile of "want to color" images, so I finally decided to get him done :)
