Power Poppy never disappoints! I used the "sunflower power" to create this card. Of course I couldnt do it yellow cause I like breaking the rules when I can. So here it is in blue. I have had this sitting on my desk for a while and found a moment to create a card. Hope you enjoy! Copics: B91 93...Read More

Various Ink Background – Tutorial

Posted on February 7, 2016January 10, 2019 by JenniferDove

My buddy Zoe told me about an watercolor class that she was taking. i thought I too would give it a try. I hadn't watercolored since a brief encounter with college. I found that I am very impatient and had a hard time waiting for the paint to dry, literally! It got me thinking...what if I did a similar technique...Read More

A Pocket Full

Posted on February 6, 2016January 10, 2019 by JenniferDove

See Through…Kinda

Posted on February 5, 2016January 10, 2019 by JenniferDove

So the next challenge is up at MakeItCrafty and this one is not so easy. "Transparent" is hard to do. I am not completely satisfied with the outcome of this but it was fun to do and I will have to play more another time. The bubbles don't have the round thick look I wanted. Maybe you can...Read More

Rest Your Soul

Posted on February 4, 2016January 10, 2019 by JenniferDove

So here is the deal...I have an overabundance of crafting supplies (most of us do). When my mother asked me if I wanted some pieces of a hornets nest (hornets not included) I said "well yes I do but put it in an envelope cause I need to hide it from the husband". Now don't get me wrong, he is...Read More

Feeding Time

Posted on February 3, 2016January 10, 2019 by JenniferDove

Faux Leather – Tutorial

Posted on February 1, 2016January 10, 2019 by JenniferDove

I thought I would challenge myself to create something using the Copic Various Ink Refills. I have seen other do this technique in other mediums and thought I would see what I could come up with. I wanted a rally aged and weather (stained and distressed) look to the "leather" when done. You can get a similar effect and not...Read More
