Watercolor musings

I always wanted to be a "real artist" - you know, the kind that wears a beret and waves a dripping paint brush around :-)  But I never could achieve the "carefree" appearance of watercolor.  My "overthinking" always showed through.  Thankfully, Impression Obsession understands my struggle!!!  I love their "watercolor wash" background stamp - the look I'm going for, without the beret!!!

Stop in Wednesday anytime between 10 & 8 to make one of these jaunty cards for yourself.  It is guaranteed to put a smile on the receiver's face!

Get a little Zen

We are LOVING all the NEW product from Dina Wakley that just arrived post-CHA show!  This week's free card features one of her new stencils.  Marilynn has added some fun (and "meditative" doodles to the open circle design using the wonderful Fude Pen.  If you like the look of Zentangle, but weren't quite sure how to get started, these little doodles are a perfect intro.  And, we have TONS of Zentangle idea books in the store right now to inspire you further.

Marilynn used Doodlebug decorative paper, then matched the colors on the circle elements using Pan Pastels.  Stop in any time between 10 & 8 and relax a little!  You'll be glad you did!
