I used three different mediums for coloring the flowers on square pieces of water color paper. I then mounted them on a cardstock which has flowers hand drawn and colored in creating a floral background. It turned out a little on the gaudy side for me.

I made this card for Paperminutes Sketchchallenge 22.

Supplies: Plain cardstock, watercolor paper, oil based crayons, color pencils, acrylic paint, water color paint, glue

Birthday Party Game: Pin the gemstone on Jasmine’s tiara

One of my friends daughter is turning three and this game is for her birthday party. First outlined Jasmine with a pencil, then painted her using water color paints. Finally some gold paint was used for her jewelry. If you are wondering, this project was completed with my little girl’s help . Plastic gemstone with glue on the back will be given to the kids to ‘Pin the gemstone on Jasmine’s tiara’. Hope the kids enjoy this game.

Birthday Party Game: Pin the tail on the pig

This was one of the games played at my daughter’s fourth birthday party where the theme of the birthday party was ‘Three Little Pigs and the big bad Wolf’. Curly ribbons were given to the children for the pig’s tail.

I have recycled an old space calendar and made envelopes out of them. These envelopes can be used for mailing bills or even handmade cards. The envelopes look great and even looks better than normal envelopes.

Old calendars are a popular ingredient in many of my handmade creations. Check out my earlier “gift bag project” using some of these old calendars.

Please help in saving the trees and the environment by recycling. Let us all do our little share in saving our Mother Earth!

Today was a very pleasant and spring like day in St. Louis. Here are some pictures taken today around my garden showing off pretty spring flowers. You can see some Grapevine, Daffodils, Bradford Pears and Forsythia. No signs of tulips yet as it needs more sun.

This is my first attempt at layered coloring with pencils.
