PTI February 2015 Blog Hop

Here is my entry for Papertrey Ink's February 2015 blog hop. My card was totally inspired by Nichole Heady's Butterfly Thanks. I fell in love with the technique she used & I just had to try it when I got my order in the mail!  

(All supplies are from Papertrey Ink, except Adirondack Wild Plum Ink & the patterned paper I made using Distress Ink and water.) 

Thank you Nichole for the amazing inspiration & Maile Belles for designing the new Swoosh stamps & dies!  If you're here visiting my seldom used blog, thank you for taking the time to look at my card!

Watercolor for Card Makers Class- Day 6 Watercoloring Stamped Images

Here is my attempt at watercoloring a stamped and heat-embossed image.  I used stamps from Papertrey Ink's Friendship Jar, Friendship Jar Spring Fillers & Friendship Jar Fillers. I watercolored the images using a water brush & Derwent Inktense pencils. I know this isn't truly watercoloring- but since I'm not an artist this is good enough for me!  Thanks for looking at my creation. :)

I thought I would quickly share a birthday card that I made for Avery's new best friend, Sean.  Sean had his 5th birthday party last weekend & I wanted to make a special card for him.  Sean has made Kindergarten a fun & inviting place for Avery.  We are SO thankful that Avery has found such a sweet & adoring friend... Watching the 2 of them walk into the cafeteria holding hands every afternoon is the highlight of my day.  It is childhood innocence at its very best :)
