TAWS post #60 - You Saved The Day

Hi Friends!  I'm back today with another watercolored creation using Penguins On Parade and Happy Hero! I watercolored my image using my Kurtake watercolor set (love!) and added my sentiment using my favorite Hero Arts black ink.

I stitched my panel to my black matte and added it to a teal colored notecard.  I then added some peach colored enamel dots for some added color contrast and texture.

Thanks for coming by!!!

TAWS post #57 - Hello...You Saved The Day!

Hi Friends!  Today I'm bringing you a creation using the newly released Alley Way set called Happy Hero!  I watercolored my image and added it to a 5"x7" kraft notecard using lots of stitching, patterned paper and embellishments to make the image pop.  My favorite is the glitter paper - I use it ALL THE TIME and have just a *slight* addiction to it!  ;)  I added a big word die from SSS that says "hello".  My thought was that when sent to the recipient it would read "hello...you saved the day!"

I used my Kuratke watercolors to color my image onto Canson 140 lb watercolor paper.  

I'll be honest the large size of this card definitely had me stumped for a bit as I'm not used to working with so much surface area but I'm happy with how it came out!

Thanks for stopping by!

TAWS post #55 - Sneak Peek - You're WONDER-ful!

Hi Alley Way Friends!!  I'm SO excited that you're here with me today!  I am so happy to share with you my sneak peek of one of this month's AMAZINGly fun sets!!  Today I'm sharing with you a set called Happy Hero.  It's a hero dress up set for the oh so adorable penguin that comes in the Penguins On Parade set that's also being released this month.

I started by watercoloring my image onto good quality 140lb cold pressed water color paper.  I use Hero Arts basic dye ink in black.  It does not run.  I let my image dry as I assembled the rest of the card using scraps from a variety of older Studio Calico kits that I had in my stash.

I added some stitching, puffy star stickers and a die from MFT as my embellishments.

I can't wait to share with you the next creation I have using these adorable sets!!  Thanks so much for coming by today!!
