Come on Spring!

 Hello everyone! I hope that you are staying dry. We are going to float away here in Indiana with all of the snow and now rain that we've gotten this week. It needs to warm up though.  

Today i have a Springtime card to share.

I watercolored the little bird, nest, and tree branch on watercolor paper. The white base of the card i colored with Copic markers after stamping with Staz on ink.

Oh what fun! Paint Poured Background ATC's

I had the pleasure of going to the Heirloom Pro show (Stamping, die-cutting, crafts) in Danville Indiana this past friday and had a blast. We had planned to go back Saturday but the weather decided to give us a mixed bag of everything so we didn't go. We actually ended up getting 8 inches of snow.

I did have the honor of winning the $25 prize for the best Artist trading card on Friday. It's always fun to win something. 

These are my Dragonfly ATC's that i wanted to enter for Saturday but was snowed out.
These are all paint poured ATC's with gloss acrylic paint. I then used embossing powder and/or Embossing folders on them. The two bottom ones i also used a stencil and modeling paste. I used alcohol inks on a couple and embossing powder on a couple of the dragonflies.
