Flower Garden V

Series Finale

This is the finale of my pink and brown Flower Garden series.

I enjoy working in a series.

When I have all the paper and paint out in front

of me I try out different possibilites and designs.

Working in a series is always fun.

The first three cards from this series can be seen here.

This is my entry to Summer of Color which is featuring

pink this week.

This is also my entry to Wednesday Stamper which is

closing their doors this week. These flowers are for you

guys,,,,,Belinda, Hermine, Linda and Patty. Thanks for

all the inspiration and hard work all these years.

It sure was fun while it lasted wasn´t it!!

Cupcakes

Cupcakes

My little cupcakes fit right in over at

Crazy Amigos. I would not have done another post

about anything to eat but they twisted my arm and

made me do it.

You may remember a cupcake from awhile back or even

this strawberry cake. You can look cause they are calorie

free.

Sunday Sketches III

Alpine Shores

A quick watercolor sketch of an alpine lake in Germany.

We don´t have an ocean but the view of the Alps

from one of our many lakes is always a sight to behold.

You should take your next vacation here,,,,don´t you think?

My entry for Sunday Sketches and Take a Word.

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.

Let´s Eat

Let´s Eat

You know what they say don´t you?

Life is uncertain...eat dessert first!

Yesterday I posted a piggy who happened

to be a binge eater and today I am eating dessert.

What does all this mean? Maybe I need to enter

therapy as soon as possible or just eat dinner

before posting is a better idea.

Paint Party Friday is serving cake today.

Why don´t you go have a piece.

What did you eat for dessert today?

This Little Piggy

This Little Piggy

This little piggy went to market and bought himself

some cookies, pies, cakes, ice cream, chocolate,

pizza with extra cheese, pancakes, cheeseburgers

and a DIET COKE!

He has to watch his figure doesn´t he?

Or should he get diet Pepsi instead,,,what do

you think?

This is my entry for the Three Muses and

Summer of Color.

The Big Cheese

The Big Cheese

This House Mouse in watercolor makes the perfect

birthday card for an eight year old in

yellow, orange and aqua.

This is my entry for:

One Layer Wednesday and Wednesday Stamper.

If You Dare

FLY....if you dare

I painted some blue watercolor swatches and stamped

FLY.

Added some blackbirds and dotted washi tape

for their perch. Edged the card in black ink and

wrote... if you dare... with some black spritz for

fun and called it done.

This is my entry to Inkurable Stamper.

In the Orchard

In the Orchard

A sunny day this past spring when all the trees were in blossom.

A fun place to visit every Friday is Paint Party Friday.

Dream in Pink

Dream in Pink

Do you dream in color?

Why not have your next dream in Pink!

The Crazy Amigos are nuts over Pink this week.

Today

Light Tomorrow with Today

Circles, dots and spots. I gave my

Japanese screw punch a workout today.

This is my entry for Created By Hand.

The quote is from Quiet Fire Design.

Sunday Sketches II

Family Outing

A young family on a sunny Sunday afternoon outing.

This is a thumbnail sketch of a part of a larger street scene

which I eventually painted in watercolor. The background,

which is not included here,,, is a large crowd of people in the

distance, buildings and trees.

This is my entry for Sunday Sketches.

Have a relaxing Sunday.

Outside My Window

Outside My Window

Outside my window I see many different

flowers....all in beautiful bloom.

I stamped a flower and doodled a frame

with my trusty pilot pen.

This is my entry to Wednesday Stamper,

Created By Hand and Less Is Moore.

Vamos a la Playa

Vamos a la Playa

I find it hard to belive that summer is almost here.

Whenever I think of summer I think of the beach.

I don´t live anywhere near the ocean. I have in the

past and I miss the sea air, the carefree atmosphere

that seems to abound near the water and all that

bright sunshine.

Today I painted a miniature watercolor of my

favorite beach.

What are your memories of summers gone by?

This is my entry for Crazy Amigos, One Layer Wednesday,

Paint Party Friday , Stampotique Designers,

and The Summer of Color.

Exotic Color

Want to brighten up your day with vibrant color?

Nature presents us with beautiful color

everyday....just look around.

One of my favorite displays of color is

the exotic bird.

This card is made using feathers from

two beauties like these pictured below.

Polly want a cracker?

Color doesn´t get any better than this does it?

I found these two on a foto search here.

Want a color overload,,,just google and type

in parrot fotos.

Three Muses and Theme Thursday will appreciate

this post.

Stars

Make a Wish

An ATC using an acrylic background

and some stamping.

This is my entry to Take a Word.

Life

Life

I painted some watercolor swatches of various

blue shades, stamped some numbers and a

quote onto a white card.

I think the washi tape adds just the right touch,

don´t you.

Go have a look at Wednesday Stamper and

Simply Less is Moore.

Sunday Sketches

Mango Fool

I am busy working on lots of projects but I had to take a

break today and add my thumbnail sketch to

Sunday Sketches

and

Paint Party Friday.

I wanted to post this sketch when the

watercolor painting was finished. I did not

want Anneke to see this at such an early stage

but it is also a plug for the Mango Fool dessert,,,

which by the way is quite tasty.

I have until Tuesday ...so I better get back

to work here on this beautiful Sunday

in paradise.

Flower Garden IV

Pink and Brown

Here is card number four in my watercolor

Flower Garden series.

Under the button cluster is a spray of

white vellum leaves and I used up some of

my patterned papers for the stripes.

You can click on the foto to enlarge it.

Three small punched circles were then

added along the bottom edge

and the large flower center is accented with

heavy body white acrylic paint. You can also

click on the foto for more detail.

You can see the first three cards in the series

by clicking here.

It just happens to be a Pink and Brown week

over at Theme Thursday...so this fits right in.

Wishing you all a sunny weekend.
