Inspired by Mojo Monday and Featuring Newton's Nook

Okay, so I'm not really a fan of a skinny card, but I liked the sketch and I thought it was the perfect way to combine one of my newest dies from Simon Says Stamp with a Newton's Nook image I colored a week ago.

I gave away my last baby card the other day, so this seemed like the perfect way to start to replenish my supply.  I used the Echo Park 6x6 paper pad from the Everyday Eclectic line, which has some adorable prints that were perfect for a paper card.  I colored the cute little penguins from the Newton's Nook Wild Child set then cut them out with a die from the Frames set from Simon Says Stamp.  I added the sentiment from the stamp set to a banner cut with the die from American Crafts/Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Styleboard dies.  I found a button in my stash and added some baker's twine from Hemptique to finish it off. 

 

Hippo Birdie Two Ewe Revisited...

Since I already had the stamps out on my desk, I decided to make a second card with the Year Four, Critters on the Farm, Hello Sunshine, Technique Tuesday Grid and Jessie's ABC's stamps and dies along with the Mama Elephant Landscape Trio dies.  This time I also pulled out the Stitched Journaling die from Lawn Fawn as well.  I used the same green polka dot paper from DCWV but this time I used a sheet from the 6x6 paper pad from the Maggie Holmes collection for Crate Paper for the sky background and some DCWV polka dot paper left over from a prior project to cover my card.   It turned out so different even though it mostly the same products: 

Another Watercolor with Art Impressions

 Here's the other card I put together using a watercolored panel made with Art Impressions stamps and Distress Ink.  I used another sheet from the Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper 6x6 pad with the same design as yesterday's card, only this time in a monotone yellow color. 

 

 

Here's a shot of yesterday and today's cards together:

More Watercoloring with Art Impressions

I have two panels of watercolors that I did a bit back that were sitting on my craft room desk for a long time.  I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them.  Then I was putting away a few things in my craft room when I saw the Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper 6x6 pad with a snippet of this cute floral paper on the cover and decided it was the perfect paper for those watercolors.  The watercolor panels were done with stamps from Art Impressions and Distress Ink Markers.  It's a totally fun way to watercolor, even if, like me, you don't have any artistic talent.
