Graciellie Designs : Watercolor CAS Flutterbys

My weekend is AMAZING...I am recovering from a tonsillectomy and I am much better...Still a burning healing process, but so much better.

I went up to visit my pal Amy T. at her GSALE and also visit with another friend Tonya J. that was selling along side of her.  I was meant to be a part of the sale but my recovery left me no time or energy before today to round up all my stuff.

  

It was good to get out of the house and in some sunshine.

Energized enough for some CAS Spring and Flutterby cards!

Gracielle Designs had a FAB sale a short while ago.  And its not that I had to wait for a sale, it was that I wanted ALL of her designs...So the sale made it almost possible.. (giggle...giggle...)

Which color combo is your FAVORITE?....

Sending Happy Thoughts : Power Poppy Digi

Happy Friday!

I was very happy to catch a special deal on some digital stamps recently!  I like the way I can layer digital stamps, less messy... and I am a messy crafter, so I need all the help that I can get!

This image is "Daffodil Bouquet" by the artist Marcella Hawley at Power Poppy.  I was inspired by a really odd and exciting color combination and vowed I would use those colors on my next car.  So here it is!  A non tradition coloring of Daffodils.

I am ok with the colors not being the actual colors that these flowers are.  I am liking finding different and contrasting color combinations.  I hope you do too!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Supplies:

SN Illustrator Alcohol Markers, Power Poppy digital Stamp daffodil bouquet.

CAS Watercolor Challenge: Unity Stamps Poppies

I saw the April CAS Watercolor challenge was Poppy.  I have been water coloring more and I remembered this humongous poppy from Unity I have.  I have been using my Spectrum Noir Aqua markers more, I thought most were used up, but I was happily surprised to see that once I sorted through them that I really still have a ton of colors.  I do need to replace my blues.  

Main Ingredients:

Unity Donna Downey Poppy Stamps (Rubber Cling), Unity Lisa Arana Blossoming Thoughts & Wishes (Rubber Cling)

Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers: Amber, Begonia, SUnflower, Meadow, Bud Green

Le Pen Black Fineliner

Pentel Signo White Gel Pen

Canson Illustration Paper 

Lately I haven't been creating very much.  Truth is, I've been very under the weather since November and last night I had my Tonsils removed.  I have a stress condition and it elevated to extreme acid reflux.  I thought it was just congestion from a lingering cold. Anyway, it aggravated my tonsils to the point of ulceration and they got so inflamed that the swelling never went down.  I was prescribed 3 different rounds of different antibiotics, and after a follow up visit with a specialist, I was told they need to come out.  So here I sit in pain, trying to create to take my mind off it.  Hope your Easter weekend is better!
