Friendship Archives -

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.

Here’s the tutorial for this card. You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. I’ve used affiliate links for your convenience at no cost to you. Want more watercolor inspiration? Check out my watercolor category.

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.

Hey peeps. Technique Tuesday March Release Blog hop is in full swing. Products are now available to all of you in the Technique Tuesday shop. I’ve had such a great time playing around with a few of the stamp sets for this month. Let me share with you what I’ve made.

For my first card I used the Fresh Peonies stamp set. I am a huge fan of floral images and this one was so pretty to color. Stamping it on gray tone paper really make the image pop on my card panel. I no-line colored the image with Faber Castell polychromo pencils. I’ve listed the colors below in case you would like to create with the same colors.

Flower petals: 129, 123, 133, 274 and 101
Leaves: 174, 170 and 101

Next I splattered on some white gouache to add some interest to the card. I then trimmed out the panel with a stitched rectangle die and stamped a sentiment. I layered this panel with black card stock and some white stitching down the left side. For my card base I used Neenah Solar White 110lb card stock.
