Friday Feature - Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils

For this week's feature, I have a card created using the Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils.  And I have to tell you, although I am a Prismacolor fan, these were my least favorite of the five sets.  It could very well be because this is also the oldest of the five sets (like 25 years!) however, they did not blend well at all, and I found them very grainy for WC pencils.

This is a very small set, lol, 6 pencils, and I think I used them all here lol.  You can see in the picture the grain-iness of them (is that even a word? LOL!)  However, I stil think the card turned out ok.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up "Really Good Greetings" and the flowers are Hero Arts.

Next week, the last of the WC pencils is Prima, another great one :) See you then!

Traveling Ellie with Paper Nest Dolls

It's challenge time at Paper Nest Dolls!  For this month's challenge I have chosen to create a card with "Traveling Ellie" :)  She is too cute :)

Told you she was cute, lol.  I created a 5x7 card this month which I don't normally do, I usually prefer the 4.25 by 5.5 inch cards.

I created this card using paper from the Studio Calico "South of Market" collections, as well the "Nested Banner" die from Jillian Vance.  The flowers and embellishments are all from my stash.

I colored her using my Copics, Prismacolor markers and Prismacolor Premiere pencils in the following colors:

Skin:  E000
PC927, 939, 1081
Hair:  YR21
PC1034, 942, 943
Clothes:  YG03, YR02, YR24
PC916, 1002, 1033, 923, 944, 937, 925, 912, 9008
Bag:  PB199, Y23
PC1082, 948, 1003, 943

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!

A Fun Friendly Challenge

Hello everyone, a friend and I were talking...ok, so we were Facebook messaging, lol, and we came up with a fun challenge between us.  We decided we would take turns each month and send each other an element that could be used in card making.  It doesn't matter if we hate it or love it, we still had to use it, lol.

My friend is Jammie (pronounced Jamie) Clark and she is from Idaho (potatoes anyone?) LOL!  Jammie is great and has a fantastic sense of humor lol.  She and I send jokes about each others countries back and forth all the time, eh?  Jammie's  blog is www.jammied.com and you can go and visit and see if you can determine what our element is this month :)

So, I decided not to make a card...rebel, I know.  I have a bunch of these little notebooks that I wanted to get started on for craft fairs, and this gave me the perfect opportunity to get them started!

To alter these notebooks, I used paper from the DCWV The Primrose collection, and the sentiment, flower stamps and dies are from the Lovely Flowers stamp and die set from Catherine Pooler's latest Stamp of Approval Collection called Lovely Notes :)  I also used Nuvo Crystal Drops in Caribbean Ocean and Ivory Seashell, which you can find here :)

So, that is my project for this month for our fun and friendly challenge. Stay tuned next month when Jammie and I create something with an element that I sent her from Canada ;)  You never know what we'll come up with!

Magnolia Tulips Thinking of You with Quick Creations

Hello everyone, I have a card for you today for Quick Creations using the Magnolia stamps "Two Tulips", Lawn Fawn's "Scripty Sayings" stamp set and paper from the CC Designs "Pastel my Belle" collection.

I colored this image using my Prismacolor Premiere Pencils on hot pressed water color paper.  I love pencils on this paper, it seems to have just the right amount of tooth to it, and the pencils blend just beautifully.

I stamped the tulips and masked them off to be able to stamp them three times in total to look like a row of tulips.

You can find the linked items in Noelle's online shop at Quick Creations.  Come and join in the monthly challenge, there is a new one starting soon!
