Watercolor rose

 I am back with my second inspiration for the Clever Dexter challenge 15.  The theme for this March is watercolor background.  It’s difficult to tell but I used a gold metallic watercolor behind the flowers. This digital stamp from our fabulous sponsor Stampers delight is called Rose 1. Check out the Stampers delight  shop for more amazing digital stamps.  This rose image is absolutely gorgeous and so much fun to create with.  I used distress ink and polychromo pencils to color this image, but the possibilities are endless.

Have you joined the Clever Dexter challenge yet?  There is still plenty for you create something and have a chance at a fabulous prize! Check out the blog for all details.

Smile and create

 Hello! I am here with my first inspiration card for the the new Clever Dexter Challenge.  Our theme for challenge 15 is watercolor background (whatever that means to you).  For this card I chose to water color the die cut and the edges of the card.  

For our March Clever Dexter challenge (#15) our sponsor is the always fabulous Stampers delight and for this project I used Chibi Crafty girls.  To color this little cute I painted on a base of distress ink and enhanced it with polychromo pencils.

If you haven’t joined our challenge there is still plenty of time.....you aren’t limited to card making,so let your imagine go.  Can’t wait to see what you concoct!  For full challenge details check out the Clever Dexter Blog.

 Hey there!  Today I would like to share with you a card I made using Oddballartstamps  Image 521.  I adore this funky alien and have made cards with her before.  It happens to be a very cloudy day today (bad for pictures) so the images are a little washed out from my light (I apologize).  The second picture is showing some of the glitter effect (the glitter is insane....trust me)  

This card is pretty simple.  The background is Jane Davenport pallet pastels on Kraft paper (for a very muted effect).  I colored the images with Prisma colored pencils and jelly roll pens in white and moon glow.  I also used Kaiser color gell pens in green and gold.  The paper I used is Recollections from Micheals
