Stampendous Watercolor Whimsy with StamprGrl

 Good day friends!  Phew it's been one heck of a few months and I seem to be having the hardest time getting things together, including my Watercolor Whimsy posts!  This is a watercolor collaboration between myself and Dalis who is also known as StamprGrl!

So, for this month we are working on a Stampendous stamp set!  I have chosen this one called Daisy Thanks.

I stamped the daisies onto watercolor paper and painted them with a combination of Prima Marketing and Jane Davenport watercolors.  Then I decided to give it a mixed media vibe and added some color and stamping to the background.  I added the sentiment from the stamp set and finished the panel off with some black paint splatters and enamel dots.  

To put the card together I layered the panel over some black cardstock before adding it to the card base.  I love how soft the colors turned out but it still seems to have an impact!

Don't forget to go and visit Dalis' blog today to see which Stampendous stamp set she decided to create with!  Also, stay tuned for next month we are creating with The Greeting Farm stamps!

New Watercolor Whimsy Collaboration with StampGrl (Dalis)

 Good day my friends!  I am excited to start this new collaboration with Dalis (StamprGrl).  We were supposed to start in January, but...I ended up catching every virus known to man in January and was sick for pretty much the whole month.  I am now on the mend though and we decided to roll January's project into February, so you get 2 projects this month :)

A little background:  Dalis and I decided to do a collaboration with watercolors as our medium.  We randomly chose 12 stamp companies from our combined stash and assigned one company to each month.  Dalis and I won't have the same stamps, but that's part of the fun of it...you get two different inspiration pieces from the same company every month!

January's company is Stampendous, House Mouse collection specifically!  And for February we have Avery Elle.

You can see Dalis' beautiful creations here!

Here is my January creation using Stampendous/House Mouse Designs' Happy Hoppers Bouncing Bunnies!

They look like they're having loads of fun don't they!  My projects are watercolored using Prima Marketing watercolors.  

For my February project, I worked with Avery Elle's Peonies stamp set.

Such a fun month for this new collaboration.  Dalis and I will be back on March 10 with some more watercolor fun using stamps from Stampendous!

July Watercolor with HLS - Theme: LOVE

Happy summer days are finally here!  It feels so good to feel the heat and see the blue sky and green grass every day :)  I have been accepted on the Happy Little Stampers Watercolor Team and I couldn't be happier haha.  I watercolored this House Mouse Stamp for you this month.

Some water colored House Mouse with Quick Creations :)

Hello everyone, I have a sweet card for you today for Noelle over at Quick Creations.

This is Stampendous House Mouse "Blowing Bubbles", colored with Prima "The Classics" water color pans.

To complete this card, I also used some Simple Stories Carpe Diem enamel dots and paper from the Lawn Fawn "Perfectly Plaid" collection.  I LOVE this paper, it is so yummy!  And, and and....these watercolor pans from Prima are great :)  I was able to mix colors and layer them with no problems at all.  I painted the colors onto hot pressed watercolor paper.  This was a super-fun piece to create.  My first House Mouse image too, lol.  Loved it!

You can find all of the linked products in Noelle's online shop at Quick Creations :)  She is great to work with and has fast shipping :)

See you soon with more inspiration for Noelle over at Quick Creations!

Firday Feature Watercolor Card #2

I'm back with another Friday Feature for you.  Today is Watercolor #2, using Gelatos!

An online friend just loves her Gelatos (**waving at Shelly :) so I just had to try them of course lol.  And since we all know I have 'Full Set Syndrome', I couldn't just buy one or two lol.  I bought every single package I could find, but don't worry, I used a great coupon from Michaels lol.

I created this card by first stamping the Tree Poem stamp from Stampendous and heat embossed it with black embossing powder from Recollections (Michaels is my friend lol).  Then I colored the background with some green and yellow Gelatos and spritzed it with water.  After it was dry, I added the sentiment strip with some brads.  The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz "Saying Stuff" stamp set.

I think this makes a great man's card, and those are cards I always find myself short of.

Thanks for stopping by and seeing my creations, next Friday will be watercolor card #3, using my favorite Kuretake watercolors ;)  See you soon!
