Be Happy!

HI! I am taking the Online Card Class "Watercolor for Cardmakers" with Jen McGuire and Kristina Werner. I love these classes. So informative...so fun! Today's card is from Day 1's homework. While I had it done I haven't had the chance to photograph it. We just got a 7 week old Golden Retriever and he is a handful to say the least! LOL My other 2 dogs aren't so happy about him right now so I am lacking in "free" time. I hope this stops soon. I want to participate in every aspect of this class.

Anyhow, today's homework shows how to create your own watercolor background. The awesome Laura Bassen showed this technique and I LOVED her card. I did mine a tad differently but I was thrilled with the effects.

The colors used are all Distress inks. Both stamps are Hero Arts. Gotta run, pup is trying to eat my laptop cord.

Until next time...Have a great day!

Giving Thanks...

Hello! Happy Wednesday! The weekend is almost here! I am so excited for it too. I finally do not have to be at a Marching Band Competition on Saturday and that means I can stamp all day! YAY!

Today I am sharing a card for another "new to me" challenge blog. This time I am playing along with CAS(E) This sketch! I absolutely LOVE sketches! While I tend to use them for scrapbooking more than card making I thought it would be fun to give it a try and I am HOOKED! I will be doing this much more often. ;)

Here is this weeks sketch:

And this is my take on the card: 

It's Lawn Fawn week over at ABNH too so I thought i would incorporate some Lawn Fawn stamps with my October Simon Says Stamp Card Kit. I also took a page from Online Card Classes recent Insider class and make my card go to the inside of the card too.  Look at me combining stuff. I am finding it much easier than I thought it would be. lol

That is all from me today. I am on the blog over at A Blog Named Hero with more Lawn Fawn goodness tomorrow.  I have a fun interactive card to share. See you later...
