Another Challenge Card

Me again, with another Challenge Card for you. This time it's a weekly Challenge give by a Demo group of which I'm a member. These challenges are great if you ever find yourself short on creativity they really help to get you started.

I used the Level 1, hostess set, Country morning it has 3 really cute images and a great sentiment in the set. It is the perfect set for practicing your water coloring technique. I got to use the Old Olive wide striped ribbon on the card, what FUN ribbon this it.

As always a big thank you for stopping by and I'll try to get pictures of my Foster Pups posted soon, they'll only be here until Saturday and I'm already worried about missing them. But they are going to great homes, so that makes me feel better!

Until next time.......see ya!

Farm Life Goodness

More new goodies! Today we have a couple of cards made with the new set Farm Life (#114411). Here is a secret about me, if I could have my dream place to live, anywhere in the world it would be on a place like this at the foot of a mountain!! LOL Not a working farm per se with livestock for profit, they would all be companions just like my dogs! Oh and by the way I would have a LOT more dogs :) Needless to say this is a DREAM as you would have to be MEGA RICH to do that and I'm not even slightly rich. Like I said this is a dream!

Okay back to reality............both of these cards are water colored using chalks and a few marvelous markers on watercolor paper. Very simple technique that ANYONE can do, if I can anyone can! Give it a try if you liked to color as a child you'll love this technique now.
