Hand drawn fonts

When I was doing my homework for Day 9 I had the company of my two daughters that also painted with watercolors. They are so good at it and I think they are very artistic. My oldest daughter ( she is 10)  was inspired by Jennifer Rzasa and made her own hand drawn font. I think she did a better job then I.

 I also gave this a try and I just wrote with my own handwriting. I thought this would be more difficult then it was. The stars is a die from Lawn Fawn and they are diecut from a glitter paper from DCWV.

Watercolor Freehand

On Day 9 in Watercolor forr Card Makers the lessons where about Watercolor Freehand. Jennifer Rzasa showed us how to make a freehand painting with splatters. Here is my take on it and I thought it was really fun!

Day 4, Watercolor stamping

Today I will show you some more cards I have made for the Online Card Class "Watercolors for Card Makers". First I will show you a card inspired by Jennifer McGuire. I made two cards , the first one I used blue watercolor paint to make the rectangle.

For my next card I did the same technique but I used several distress ink colors. Then when it was all dry I embossed the text stamp with gold embossing powder from WOW.

Her you can see how it shimmers.

Day 2, Card 3

Jennifer McGuire taught us a technique with rubber cement. I found masking liquid/fluid (maskerings vätska) in the art store that is basically the same. Tried it today on a flower from Momas. This card is very tiny so I didn't have any room for a greeting.

Day 1, card 3

Here is the third card I made yesterday for the Watercolor for cardmaker class. I must say that the homework is really fun in this class! This card technique was shown to us by Kristina Werner.

The background stamp comes from Hero Arts and the "Grattis" stamp comes from Gummiapan. And by the way I am using a really small set of watercolors that I got in a card kit from SC. Next time I think I will use my daughters watercolour sets, they have more colours in theirs.

Watercolor for cardmakers

Hi, I was so lucky that I won a spot for the class Watercolor for cardmakers over at OnlineCardClasses. It is not to late to sign up if you want to take it. I am a bit behind but I have managed to make three cards for Day 1. The first day was all about watercolour backgrounds. Jennifer Rzasa showed us a fun technique with stencils and here is how my card turned out.

Watercolouring

There is a reason why I started with scrapbooking and that is that I didn't have to be good at painting ( which I am not). It is good enough to be able to combine papers and colours. On day 7 and 8 in class we had to do free hand painting with watercolours and copics. Oh my, that was a challenge for me at least the watercolouring. First attempt was really good but that was on a tiny piece of paper. So I tried again and again and again. Finally I managed to paint something that was supposed to look like a feather but it turned into a leaf and the leaf turned into a tree.

A red butterfly this time!

Ok now I am moving on to show you cards that I made after watching the video tutorials from Day 2 of The STENCILED class. I used the same stencil as the other card but this time I colored it with watercolors. It was Laura Bassen that showed us this technique and told us that it won't be perfect so we just have to go with the flow! I think this stamp comes from Gummiapan too.
