Spread Joy Not Germs BLOG HOP

Hi there and welcome to the "Spread Joy, Not Germs" blog HOP.

There's a GIVEAWAY here on my blog too 
sponsored by The Rabbit Hole Designs, LLC (read below)

I am joining in on the fun of sharing JOY and FUN!

We could all use some more joy.  

Whether you are working an essential job (THANK YOU SO MUCH) 

or staying home, we are all in this fight together! 

I am sharing a card I made with 

The Rabbit Hole Designs "Old School Tattoo-Anchor"  

An anchor is a symbol of strength and grounding.
I'll send this to someone so they know I'll be there for them.

I hope everyone has a person or place that helps them feel grounded during these unprecedented times.  

I stamped the image with embossing ink on watercolor paper and then embossed the image with white embossing powder.   

I used my inks with a water brush and colored my image.

I don't watercolor much at all.  I was very pleased with the result.  

 I added twine and gems.

 

 

There are LOTS of prizes from many GREAT sponsors (31!!) 

so comment as much as your fingers will let you!

OCC Day 5: Watercoloring

Hi there!

Sharing a couple of cards I made for the Online Card Classes Day 5 challenge.

This card features watercoloring.

I shy away from watercolor b/c I feel I never do it right, but I was pleased with these results from the great tips from the class.

The following card features products from 

Super Sponsors of  the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: 

The Rabbit Hole Designs  (bee)

Paper Smooches (honeycomb die

Honey Bee Stamps  (sentiment) 

  

 This Spring Card Camp challenge yielded two cards.

Here's the other one with a Concord and 9th  "hello" die

and Paper Smooches Bee die

 

Together: 

I am entering the "Bee's Knees" card into the Caffeine Fueled Paper Play 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Just a Note...

Used a dimensional apple sticker set on watercolored background.

The flicks kinda look like blood so maybe not the best choice of flicking colors, lol
Sentiment by Hero Arts

 

 

 

 

I am entering this in the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge

Thanks for stopping by,

HI!

 

HI There.  Happy Fourth of July!

Thanks to all former, current and future military families for their

service to this great country.

 

This card features a die I picked up at Hobby Lobby (LYB?)

I made the background one evening playing around with watercolor swipes and splatters.

Be a Little Shellfish

Finally out for the summer and hoping to get a little crafty a little more often!

Played with my Lawn Fawn circle frames and new shellfish set to make a

little shaker card.

I water colored the background and added darker paint splatters

as well as drops of glossy accents for a wet look.

 

 

 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

 

Cupcake Inspirations #363: ocean theme

 

 

The Heart Desires Challenge 1:

Inspired by the ocean/whale and the blues

 

 

Simon Says Stamp: For a Guy

I think the blue colors make this card appropriate for a man!

Thanks for visiting.

I am READY for some craft time this summer!
