May this be your best birthday ever

I can't believe this is the last day of March. I always put up my hummingbird feeder at this time and I can't wait to see some hummingbirds come by. I hope they come soon even though we are expecting another cold front this week. I mix 4 cups of water to 1 cup of sugar and I boil it on the stove for about a minute then I refrigerate what I don't use. I will have that last for about 2 weeks.

Here's another Whipper Snapper stamp I just got called Flower Quilt. I made this for a friend's birthday who loves to quilt.

Llama cuteness

These llamas just hopped in my cart over at Whipper Snapper stamps. Their name is Llama Sweeties. Aren't they cute? I colored them with my Koi watercolors for this challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

So Happy For You

It's been awhile since I played with my Zig watercolor markers. For some reason, I always grab for my Koi watercolor paints and I had put my Zigs away. Why did I put them away? I have no idea. I probably was cleaning off my desk, put them away and forgot to get them back out. I got them out and decided to try this acrylic block coloring technique that Lydia showed on her blog last week. Once again, Lydia amazes me with all of her techniques and I always love trying new things. All you need is a stamp, watercolor ink pad, watercolors of some kind, an extra acrylic block and a little squirt bottle of water. This is super easy!!

Ice cream solves everything

I am in love with this Stamping Bella image. I colored it with my Koi watercolors, then added a touch of Ink on 3 Liquid Pixie Dust. It takes awhile to dry but I do like it. You paint it on with a paint brush and its got teeny tiny glitter in it.

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday reveal wheel card

This image was fun to color. I made a mask around the dogs so I could color the sky with my Oxide inks to make the background blue.
