Hello my Crafty Friends! Hope you've had a great start to your week! I am sad as it was the start of school today and Christmas holidays are over! I enjoyed every moment with my kids! We had so much fun! I think this was one of our best Christmas Holidays, no one was sick and it was relaxing and fun! :>
Today I wanted to pop in and share a card set that I made before Christmas for Ariel's teacher!
When I made the card sets for the teachers I tried to make sets that were fast to make. I know looking at this flower trio you are thinking well that couldn't have been fast! BUT I figured out a way to make it fast! While I usually painstakingly (loving every moment) hand paint with inks and water each petal since I had to do four I instead painted each whole flower with a bigger brush quickly let it dry (it seemed to dry as I painted all four than went to the other color and so on) than carefully with darker ink (less water same ink) painted a few petals! So much faster and easier and it still turned out with that look I wanted! I used the Plumeria collection (stamps by Hero Arts and papers by Basic Grey) for these cards!
Well that's it from me today! Hope you have a fabulous week!
