I was in too much pain from my foot injury to participate in Art Impressions Watercolor Wednesday yesterday so I did it today and made my result into a card in keeping to my vow to turn every successful practice embellishment into a card.
I am so proud of this card. I have been practicing making Heartfelt Creations flowers from the Classic Petunia set. It is the only set I have so far due to the expense of the full sets. But I really love this line and will grow my stash slowly.
Over the past few days I have been practicing different configurations and colors so that, even with only one set, I am getting a variety of looks.
So, despite having a really sore foot that I had to medicate heavily, I was able to complete a card. It's a good thing that I was able to design a card box in Cricut Design Space because the three dimensional flowers will not fit in a regular envelope.
I hope that whoever gets this Cristmas card from my latest Art Impressions effort has a sence of humor!
I received a great gift today, but first the back story.
I have been taking alcoholin coloring classes fro Kit and Clowder for a couple of years. I started out using Spectrum Noir pens because they are more affordable than Copics. I like those just fine. Although I do wish they came with the brush tip. (You can buy those for the SNs but it would be expensive). I wanted to switch to Copics because it is easier to follow along with the lessons if you are using the same colors.
As many of you already know, Copics are expensive! So I decided to buy the Ciaos. The problem is that the numbers are listed on the side of the pens rather than the end. This makes them hard to locate quickly. I tried to make my own lid labels but was not very successful. Plus, even had I been successful it would have taken a VERY long time to type them up and cut them out.
So, the gift I got today was a download of a full set of lables sized to fit the Ciao lids. All I have to do now is print out the lables and stick them to the pens with small glue dots.
This is going to take a while so I probably will not get anything else crafty done today.
