Has it really been three months!?!

My latest work is for the wonderful Marion Bockelmann's latest world-wide swap called Mona & Friends.

This week at Otter Blue

Ever since I took the Painted Petals class at Archivers I have had greeting cards on the brain.

Below are three of the cards I did in the technique class (I have already used one).

My darling husband took one look and proclaimed that I should be making cards for a living. While this is very sweet, I did not come up with the ideas or the designs for these cards. I simply created what I was told to create with minor variations to the watercolor painting. 

I was however, very inspired by the techniques as I mentioned in a previous post and have played with the techniques a little here and there. This next photo I posted before but thought it was worth posting again in this context. I used the same technique as the bottom photo above but with my own personal spin.

This is another card I created this week. I used the same stamp and technique as the top left photo above but made it more my style.

While at Archivers I bought a new 6x6 paper pad by Basic Grey called Hello Luscious. The colors and papers are fabulous, bright, spring-like and so inspiring. I used the papers in the card above and the two acts below. The images are from TenTwoStudios

The last thing I want to share is another card I made called The Fortune Teller. I used the Painted Petals technique to create the hand, a 7 Gypsies tag and rub-ons, and various papers.

I hope you enjoyed my latest work and are inspired to try something new.
