Neat & Tangled - Cosmo Cricket week

Hi there!

I'm sharing a few projects here and on the Neat & Tangled blog for our collaboration week with Cosmo Cricket.



For my first card, I stamped and colored elements from Mermazing and set them against watercolored backdrop. I adore these new products from Cosmo Cricket. They are made for watercoloring dummies like me! I used the watercolor brush to spread a little water around, then sprinkled some Pool Pixie Paint onto the piece, and basically my work was done.



I blended out the background a bit and added some flecks of lighter and darker paint to give depth to the scene.

My next projects are a little tag duo. I played around with the Candy Pixie Paint for both. On this tag, I used the Resist Pen to add polka dots to the bottom half of the tag, let it dry, and then watercolored with the Pixie Paint over-top.  When everything was dry, I used a brown pen to add doodly circles around each polka-dot.

I added the little girl image from Better Together, and the new script Celebrate die to finish off the tag.

For my last tag, I did more of the same: doodled polka-dots with the Resist Pen and watercolored over-top with the Candy Pixie Paint. I added the Hooray wreath a little bird (from Kitty's Favorite Things) to finish off.

Neat and Tangled turns 4!

Hi there!

It's day 4 of Neat and Tangled 4th birthday blog hop celebration - have you been tuning in so far?

I created this card for the occasion, using my new stamp set Little Stinker. It's in the NT store right now.

Did you see that watercolored background? It's watercoloring for dummies. If that's a club, I'm the president. I have no clue what I'm doing, but I used a new-to-me product from Cosmo Cricket and it's a game changer. It's called Pixie Paints, and I used the Candy color here. Check it out - click!

And don't forget to go by the NT blog this morning - there are amazing prizes up for grabs and an all-star lineup every day of the hop!
