Hi! I had to take some time to catch up on some DT responsibilities so I had to put my paints and paintbrush aside until tonight! I'm currently taking an online oil painting workshop with one of my favorite artists Dreama Tolle Perry and this week's assignment was to paint cupcake :)
I'm learning so much about color values, contrast, transparent and opaque colors, etc...
I also took the time to create a Valentine's Day card using a fun banner die that I bought nearly a year ago and never used:
I'm linking my painting in the current Paint Party Friday linkup:
For card color inspiration, I joined along with the ColourQ colour challenge:
and for sketch inspiration, I joined along with the Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge:
Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great weekend!
Be Sweet ;)

I am really enjoying seeing the progression of your painting skills and reading about what you've learned. Thanks so much for sharing the details with us. Your card today is awesome. So clean and crisp and fun to look at!
Your cupcake is amazing and so is your card. I've been staring so long and I'm speechless. Thanks for sharing with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
Great cupcake - I have absolutely zero talent that way. That's why I love cardmaking, artists create the art and I can just stamp it and color it! I love your card. Simple - yet so celebratory! Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
Perfect cupcake! Love the sense of depth you conveyed! Gorgeous! Love the card too!
Oohh this is wonderful. Great colors and shading. I like your Valentines too.
Both projects are yummy yum yum! The cupcake detail is fabulous and the card is darling!
I like your artistic cupcake, Mona, & what a fabulous Valentine! That is just the cutest banner die!
Love your painting AND your card! The card is bold and fresh looking, WONDERful :)
Love your painting style...so modern! Your card is too sweet.
Love that cupcake and it looks like a fun class to take. Sweet card too!
