Sunday Watercolors: Lingonberries

To loosen up is something I constantly have to work on and here is one way to practice: Paint without any preliminary sketches. Instead try to focus on the colors you see and paint only the "essentials".

Post for Lawnscaping Challenges; We belong together

Hi Everyone!
It's Karin here to share some inspiration for the Lawnscaping Challenge blog.

Today I have a card where I've used a Christmas set that is about to be retired - so hurry to get this sweet set that can be used all year round!

• I started by making a cardbase from creme cardstock and then cut a panel using the largest stitched rectangle and cut it two ways to get the size I wanted.
• I then stamped my images and sentiment to a piece of cream cardstock. I made sure I had more/darker ink at the bottom of the birds by removing some of the ink at the top of the birds with an inkblender - just to get some fast and easy dimension to my birds. 
• After that I layered some patterned paper on top of my stamped piece of cardstock and then diecut a stitched square.
• Before adhering my stamped square to the card with foam adhesive I matted it to a blue piec of cardstock - same tone as the birds.

The Lawn Fawn supplies I used for my project:
Stamps; Peace, Love, Joy
Dies; Stitched Rectangles



Pop over to the Lawnscaping challenge to be inspired by my talented teamies or play along in the latest challenge.

Have a great day, hugs, Karin

Butterfly Reflections Ink; Mini Notepad

Hi Everyone!

I'm sharing inspiration on the Butterfly Reflections Ink today and here's a little sneak peek:

Pop over to the Butterfly Reflections Ink to get the details!

A couple of weeks ago I was shopping with my mom and when I needed to make a note of something she took out some scrap pieces of paper she had stapled together. She was reusing paper that would otherwise gone in the dustbin which is great, but I wanted to make her something nicer to carry around in her purse and quickly made a bunch of these:

I simply cut a piece of patterned paper 6x4½ and folded it as in the picture above. 

I then cut a bunch of papers slightly smaller  than the inside of my notepad cover 3.7 (?)

I stamped each piece with a cute cat image and then stapled them in place.

I then stamped, colored and diecut a cat image to adhere to the front of the pad. I also cut and stamped a little banner.

Supplies:

Stamps:

Paper Smooches; Comforting Hugs

Dies:
My Favorite Things: Blueprints #25

Paper:
Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid

Ink:
Tuxedo Black ink
Rangers Distress Ink

Tools:
x-press blending card

Adhesives:
Foam Adhesive
Dot Gluetape

Coloring Mediums:
Copic Markers
