Friendship Blog Hop

February 12, 2020

Hey everyone.  Welcome to the Friendship Blog hop.  I know I’ve been missing for a little bit.  I caught a really bad cold while I was at Creativation and have felt horrible since my return.  I’m finally getting back into my craft room and searching for my creative side. So being a part of the Friendship Blog hop was the perfect way to get my inspiration back.

You can start at the beginning of the hop from Courtney’s blog.  Courtney is the organizer of this event and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.  There are amazing creative souls on the Friendship Blog hop and there are SIXTEEN Youtube tutorials as well as blog post and slide photos.  Trust me you want to see them all.

Since I’m just getting back into my room, I thought watercoloring would fill my creative block.  I enjoy watercoloring as I can push my creative side and it’s pretty therapeutic for me.  Including a rainbow themed card is the perfect way to happiness. 😉 I have a tutorial over on my Youtube channel for you to check out.  Here’s a few photos of the completed card.

I love the bright colors of this card.  The sentiments from Ink Blot Shop and Concord & 9th work so well together for this card.

Thanks stopping by today.  Next on the hop is Amanda.  You can check out project on her blog and her tutorial over on her Youtube channel. I hope you find loads of inspiration on the hop.  See you back here soon! Take care everyone.

Morning everyone. Finally back in my room having a Morning everyone. Finally back in my room having a chance to play with some new products I purchased from @ginakdesigns.

My first card is using the beautiful Contemporary Floral embossing folder and stencils. When I saw this debut, it was right in my cart. I absolutely LOVE this embossing folder and stencil. The colors are from@concordand9th! The background is nectar and the inks are Popp, Buttercup, Watermelon and Parsley

My second card is featuring the Ruffled Blooms bundle. When I purchased this set, I knew I wanted to do this on black cardstock with rainbow flowers. I add a layer of sparkle on top to really make it pop!  The colors for this card are also from @concordand9th and are Poppy, Buttercup, Tidepool and Fig! These colors make a spectacular rainbow. 

Keep bringing us all the goodies Gina!!!

My card is featuring the new Rose Branch die cut and the new Under Water stencils. There are four stencils to create this beautiful background. Using a white gel pen I did some wonky (I mean seriously wonky 😂) faux stitching on the card as well.  I love the cool colors for green on this card.
