I don’t normally do simple cards but I want to challenge myself to create some. I used the Garden Friends stamp set from Crafter’s Companion with Arteza Real Brush Pens to watercolor and create two clean and simple cards for Mother’s Day. Using brown instead of black ink helps giving a softer storybook look.

I used the brand new Party on the Farm stamp set from Hello Bluebird along with one of their older Halloween sets, Tabitha and turned her into a farm girl. I colored my images with Tri-Blend Spectrum Noir markers and ink blended my background.

I wanted to create some Thank You cards for the staff working in the nursing home that take care of my mother and also cared for my grandmother who recently passed. Now is the perfect time to say thanks to all the medical staff who are helping take care of us during this difficult time fighting the Covid-19 virus. My Favorite Things is generously offering several of their nurse and Dr. stamps as FREE digital downloads through 4/30/20, so I used them to make my cards. I’ll show you how to resize PDF images and how to color them with Prismacolor Pencils using a blending solution in my latest video.

Stay safe and healthy everyone!

I created this fun Easter card with products I have on hand since it’s hard right now to shop for new crafting supplies because of the virus. I used stamps from Gerda Steiner, Tri-Blend Markers for coloring and Masking Magic sheets to mask my ink blended background.
