Tis the Season

Tis the Season....in a rainbow of washi tape colors. 


Pick a color. 


Any color. 


 Maybe you are a purple person.


Or a pink person. 


I love the color orange.

I had fun using up some of my assorted washi tapes.
Some quick and easy Christmas cards.

I am sharing this with Take a Word.

You  know what they say don´t you...
A girl can never be too rich, too skinny or have
too much washi tape.

More Paper Fun

I was having some more paper fun painting these patterned papers. 

 Today it is the Red Series.
Bright and cheerful colors for fun summer art making.

Click on the Butterflies.

Feel free to print the patterns and use them in your  projects
if you so desire.

 The resolution has been left large so  
 it should be a decent print.  Let me know
if you have any problems and I will send you an email with the foto instead.
The butterflies were inspired from a simple dinner Serviette.

Click on the Stripes.  

Stripes are always useful when
it comes to mixing
and matching patterns. 

Click on the Maze.

All the patterns were painted with watercolor and gouache.

Print them out,,,
stamp them with your favorite stamps, add more paint, mix and match them.
Go make something with them.  If you do,,,please let me know and I 
will feature your project here on my blog.

Want more free papers then check these out.

Come back tomorrow for the Green Series of  free papers. 
Later this week
I will share a few examples
 of  how other arty bloggers have used some of the previous
papers in their projects.

Start your week off on the creative side!

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday.

Connections II

Connections II
Today I have two bookmarks/tags as the second in
the Connections Series. The green ribbon is woven
through screw punched holes on the watercolored paper
and looped out on the upper left corner.
I then edged the piece with tissue tape.

Here I painted wet-in-wet shapes of green and yellow
watercolor and then punched holes for the yellow yarn.
As a final touch I added striped washi tape on the edges.
Before washi tape was all the rage I would mask off my
edges and draw stripes with various gel pens...washi tape
saves so much time.

The quote is from Quiet Fire Design in Canada.
This is my entry to Summer of Color.

Connections I

I Am the Connections That I Weave
I find one of the best points about blogging is that it allows me
to weave quite a few connections in many
different and interesting directions.

My trusty screw punch was again,,,called into action.
Various watercolor stripes are connected by metallic threads.

The quote is from Suzanne at Quiet Fire Design in Canada. She
has been busy creating new quotes as well as giving her website
a fresh coat of paint. Go connect for yourself.

I am linking this to Simply Less is Moore as well as
Created by Hand which is Quiet Fire´s weekly challenge.

Borders

Thank You

I painted three stripes of watercolor,
doodled and stamped. Added some ribbon
and a button and called it done.

Thanks for coming by and leaving your
comment. I appreciate your input.
Wouldn´t this bookmark look nice in your
latest summer novel you are reading?

Theme Thursday....borders.
