I Love Water Coloring

Hi Everyone,

I had a great week this week.  It is hard to believe that summer is almost over.  Where did the summer go?  I spent some time with my friend, Jenny Barnett Rohrs, playing with some watercolor techniques.  We purchased some handmade decorative paper at a local art/craft store here in Cleveland, Ohio and I thought it would be fun to watercolor on it.  I will post a picture of the decorative paper and please keep a watch out for a post of what fun we had on www.crafttestdummies.com.  It should be posted in the near future.


Isn't this beautiful paper?  I just love it. 
 

I also had a baby shower for my daughter-in-law on Saturday.  I made all the invites, favors, and decorations.  Here are some pictures.  Everyone had a great time!!!







 
 
 
Doesn't it look great?  I could not have pulled it off without the help of my sister and my friends.  My dear friend, Alessia, made the mason jars on the table with the baby's name on them.  Check out her website at www.kreationstation.net.
 
Thank you all for taking the time to check out my blog.  I hope you all have a great last week of August!

One Ink for Two Mediums

Hi Everyone,

I made a quick comparison using fun stampers journey True Color Fusion Black Licorice ink with Copics and Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens. The ink worked with both and no bleeding. It will be great to use one ink for both alcohol inks and watercolor. If you are interested check out funstampersjourney.com/GormayGreetings. Pictures to follow:





Thanks for stopping by!!!  Have a great day!!!  Enjoy summer while it's here!!!
