thinking of you 29

Hi there! Hope you had a great weekend! Today I'm joining along with the PTI Make It Monday challenge where the challenge is to create a stenciled water colored background. 

I created a water colored background piece behind the focal point using a stencil from my stash. For the focal point, I water colored a pretty blossom and leaves from the Doodlie-do set:

I've also have a bouquet of oil painted roses to share inspired by Nancy Medina. I painted this on a 12" x 12" canvas.

happy Easter 25

Hi there! Today I'm sharing the projects featured in this post on the Poppystamps blog as well. If you have a chance, I'd be thrilled if you stopped by to say hi :) click HERE. I created a couple of Easter projects featuring a variety of products from the New Spring 2017 Release along with other fun Poppystamps products. To create the background. I stamped the pretty flower bouquet from the Friends and Flowers stamp set in a heart shape then water colored using an oil crayon. 

 I created a meadow scene featuring die cut Preppy Flowers along with a Serene Rabbit:

I embellished with Stitched Butterfly Trio butterflies, Freida Leaf foliage and Pretty Stitches borders to name a few:

 For the title, I used the Happy Easter Egg die:

 Up next is an Easter card featuring another fun scene featuring Preppy Flowers and a Serene Rabbit:
