Mornin' y'all! Despite still going through Kleenex like crazy, I got up and did a workout this morning and the dishes are washed and now I'm sitting down to have a little breakfast and look at some blogs : ) And yesterday I made four cards so I'm pretty pleased about that. Here's the first one I made:
My grumpy dragon card won the last Paper Players challenge, which just tickles me endlessly because I cackled the whole time I was making it and I'm sure my friend Krissy will laugh when she receives it in the mail. I wanted to do something special for this Paper Players challenge:
You might notice that my relaxing tea card from earlier this week was done with the same sketch; I thought I could make something that I liked more than that and I ended up with this watercolor bird card. I haven't used the Full of Life DSP Stack very much, I think because it's hard to work it into color challenges and some of the patterns I just don't know what to do with. So since I'm only doing a sketch this time around, I started with the watercolory pattern and watercolored my bird to match. The bird and sentiment are both stamped in Shaded Spruce ink but I just inked up my ink pad so it's extra dark. The bird is Berry Burst and Daffodil Delight kinda blended together, with a bit of Granny Apple Green for her to stand on.
That's it for now, peeps. Have a great day!

I just love this (says she, scurrying off to revisit that paper pad - a watercolour effect was just what I was looking for the other day!) Love how that little bird is coloured to coordinate with the paper too - and that sentiment just makes me smile! Perfect take on the sketch - so glad you played along again at the Paper Players this week! (P.S. that dragon card is still making me laugh!!)
I can't begin to tell you how much I love the colors on this card, Christy. You water colored this little bird perfectly to match this amazing designer paper. What is so sad is that I have this paper, and never realized how gorgeous the back sides were. This card will be a day brightener for the recipient. Take care! Thank you for playing in my challenge at The Paper Players this week!
You have such a great sentiment stash! Love this one too. That quirky little bird with his bright colours and sad face is super. Thanks for playing along with us at The Paper Players.
