WMS May release previews day 1; Tag Collection 1

To start off this WMS release preview I'm showing a Project made from a new set of great stamps called Tag Collection 1. When I first saw it I knew I had to combine it with the awesome gift card it die from last month's relese. This is such a fast and easy card design you could easily make a lot in no time - but I still Think it has a "worked" look to it so whoever recieves it will Think you've spent a lot of time making them a card and thus feeling very special (-:

The patterned papers I used are from MME and October Afternoon.

Seeyou tomorrow when I'll be back with more previews that I know you will love!

Now make sure you pop over to see what the other WMS ladies have created with this new set:

Sunday Watercolors - Dog sketches

 

 

We've had absolutely WONDERFUL weather here this week-end - it is so nice to get a taste of summer. My plan was to practise watercolor painting today, but I just couldn't stay Indoors, so I packed my mini box of Paints, a wc pad and a book about dogs to our park and In between playing soccer and Reading to Ted I made some wc sketches based on pics from that book. I don't Think I've painted dogs Before (landscape and flowers have always been my preference), but was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and I'm quite pleased with the result of these fast and simple sketches too.

 

Wishing you all a great Sunday, hugs, Karin

Wishing You a day full of joy!

I adore Stacey Yacula's new super adorable images and as I promised I'm back to shre Another card made with stamps from Purple Onion Designs  newest release  I know Michele has a great deal if you buy the whole Collection - I know you'll love it as much as I do , so don't miss to check it out at the Purple Onion Designs shop.

Tomorrow I'll be here with a Sunday Watercolor post. Hope to see you then (-:

Hi!
Just popping in to share  this little cutie that I tried to make into a watercolor. I'm not really happy with the result - I blame the cheap paper I was working on (-; LOL, but I really enjoyed working with those colors - it's not till you look closely that you discover that he isn't just gray, but has a lot of different, very beautiful colors ranging from yellow ochre and indigo blue to indian red!
