HI my friends!!!!!!

Its that time again! I am selling sets of Christmas cards. I take great care in paying attention to the small details that make my cards unique. I started selling them three years ago and I have built up a nice clientele.

This year I am opening my cards to my online friends.

The following cards are the first sets that I will be showcasing.

The first one is a lovely poinsetta. Its a stamped image and then heat embossed with black powder. What this mean, it creates a raised effect, so the cards are very textural.

I hand painted them with a watercolor called "Twinkling H20's". It makes them SO pretty. Each of the cards are edged with a gold leafing pen, creating a very elegant
look. This particular one I used vintage lace to hold a lovely "Merry Christmas" sentiment.

Each card is slightly different, whether it be a lovely sparkily gold glitter star brad, or an antique mini star brad. Christmas cards to me are elegant and that is what I strive for!

The second set is a vintage Santa, the Santa is stamped on a piece of vellum which is then layered on top of pretty cardstock. These cards are in a light blue, cream and brown. Very elegant!

A lovely pretty bow with a small diamond like gem enhances the card, along with the word "Joy" rubber stamped. The card has small details that the camera does not capture, In the beard of the Santa I use an awesome Gel pen that writes with a silver sparkily ink and it makes the card POP!

Again each of these cards are similar but each one if different. You may get one that is the same, however each card is hand embellished.

Inside each of these cards is a lovely Christmas sentiment.
" Have A Holly Jolly Christmas."

The envelopes are embossed with a really pretty scroll pattern. Here is a link tht shows what the pattern looks like.

Just Keep Swimming

Hi my art friends! I have a fun tag that I created just for YOU!

I have been selected to be on the VIVA LAS VEGASTAMP DESIGN TEAM! Its a company in the United States that has thousands of unique rubber stamps, along with other art supplies.

So I am really excited to part of an awesome fun company.

Here is the complete tag I made:

Here is the stamp I used

The link to the stamp
FISHY CRACKER.

Its 1x 1 1/4 inches. I love it. I love to draw mermaids so I am sure you are going to see me use this cute little stamp again.
Here is a pic of the supplies I used.

1. Versamark ink pad
2. White embossing powder
3. White shipping tag
4. Twinkling H2Os
5. Water brush
6. The fishy cracker stamp

Note shown:
1. Sea Salt
2. Various pens for doodling.

First stamp the fish with the Versamark ink Pad, this is a clear ink, sprinkle the white embossing powder and heat emboss.
Once that is done, moisten the Twinkling H2O's with water and let them soften up a bit. Then begin to randomly paint over the entire tag. Don't worry about getting the watercolor paints on the stamp fish as the white embossed area acts like a resist.
While it is wet lightly sprinkle some sea salt on the wet areas.
Let it dry completely and then once dry wipe the sea salt off, it will leave small layered spots where the salt sucked up the paint.

Add some personal writing and doodles and a lovely art tag will appear!

This tag was inspired by "Finding Nemo". The scene where Nemo and is sad and about ready to give up and Dory played by the awesome Ellen Degeneres - but anyways she sings a song
"Hey Mr Grump Gills
You know what you gotta do when life gets you down?
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming swimming swimming
What do we do we swim, swim, swim
OH HO HO How I love to swim
When you WAAAAAANNTTT to swim you want to swim"

So this tag was made to inspire YOU, that no matter what, just keep swimming.
Just keep reaching for your hopes and dreams. Just keep doing what your soul and heart tells you.

Here is a close up
