Sending doggy kisses

For the background, I used my Jane Davenport watercolors and just made a stripe of color next to each stripe. Easy peasy!!

Flamingos on the beach

When I saw this flamingo set at Avery Elle marked down to only $3, I had to get it and I am so glad I did. One can never have too many flamingo sets in their stash, right? For this card, I used my Oxide inks for the sky and for the water.

I am entering this in the following challenge:

happy easter

Easter is just a little over 3 weeks away and here is my Easter card this year. I got out my Tim Holtz watercolors - the Oxide inks are wonderful for making backgrounds. Here, I used Salty Ocean for the sky and for the sun and the bunny, I used my Jane Davenport watercolors. For the sky, I literally just put down a block of ink onto my craft mat, squirted it with water and painted it onto the paper and let it dry. Then, I got out my grass punch by Martha Stewart and punched out grass in 2 different green colors for the grass.

I really like it!!

Cards in Envy - Green Things

Cards in Envy's first challenge for March is Green Things (Any theme as long as it's got GREEN) You can see the challenge here. All cards must fit into a standard size envelope for easy mailing. 

This card was real easy to make. I put the embossing folder through my Big Kick and then I smeared 3 different Oxide inks all over it. I used Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron, and Lucky Clover. Then, I colored the cactus with Copic markers.

I hope you will join us at Cards in Envy.
