<br />
How is Spring in your neighborhood? Ours seems like it has finally arrived. MN has been cruel this year and it has taken some time to finally see some flowers and the leaves out on the trees. Oh and I can't forget about the beautiful sounds of the chirping birds.<br />
<br />
Soon shall come the butterflies!<br />
<br />
So what better way to wait for them than to sit down with my granddaughter and have a little crafting with the <a href="https://www.breareese.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Brea Reese</b></span></a> Watercolor Resist Panel which happens to have a butterfly on it!<br />
<br />
First thing we did was gather all our supplies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-onLzKlMstrY/XO3lY6DdwWI/AAAAAAAABIc/O_U57vBImUQ65FA5XYxoDZRua49apEC0wCLcBGAs/s1600/butterfly1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1001" data-original-width="1005" height="636" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-onLzKlMstrY/XO3lY6DdwWI/AAAAAAAABIc/O_U57vBImUQ65FA5XYxoDZRua49apEC0wCLcBGAs/s640/butterfly1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Supplies:<br />
<br />
Brea Reese Watercolor Resist Panel<br />
Brea Reese Glitter Inks Orange, Pink, Medium Magenta<br />
Brush<br />
Water<br />
<br />
We removed resist panel from package.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iQ0USStF8bY/XO3lY4ebZ7I/AAAAAAAABIs/TnfaTOFNjvsXYFTK5RWtA0Xom7JLhmkIQCEwYBhgL/s1600/butterfly2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="923" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iQ0USStF8bY/XO3lY4ebZ7I/AAAAAAAABIs/TnfaTOFNjvsXYFTK5RWtA0Xom7JLhmkIQCEwYBhgL/s640/butterfly2.jpg" width="590" /></a></div>
<br />
Started to apply color, starting with Orange.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZmPU2FfFAmo/XO3lZXDyxTI/AAAAAAAABIw/eyZDJaZju5gadQeh4dGeVxpBaF9AyZNTwCEwYBhgL/s1600/butterfly3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZmPU2FfFAmo/XO3lZXDyxTI/AAAAAAAABIw/eyZDJaZju5gadQeh4dGeVxpBaF9AyZNTwCEwYBhgL/s640/butterfly3.jpg" width="574" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
It already is gorgeous and my granddaughter was so proud of herself it gave her confidence in her art. Next she applied Pink and the the Medium Magenta.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fnTKDgrupRU/XO3lZiPMElI/AAAAAAAABI0/SphEhusD8ewWW_vbEt3vAdyDPf4HBcY9gCEwYBhgL/s1600/butterfly4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="913" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fnTKDgrupRU/XO3lZiPMElI/AAAAAAAABI0/SphEhusD8ewWW_vbEt3vAdyDPf4HBcY9gCEwYBhgL/s640/butterfly4.jpg" width="584" /></a></div>
<br />
So beautiful! She absolutely adores it!<br />
<br />
Double win, happy granddaughter and fun crafting!<br />

<br />
Did you know that there was a day just for chocolate chips?<br />
<br />
I sure didn't!<br />
<br />
But there is and today is the day!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QkrEXZOG_b4/XNt8cCJHw1I/AAAAAAAABII/lYSj9Q3mL_wa_CZ16WG6GQKqS9PPKm6SACLcBGAs/s1600/Chip.jpe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1080" height="531" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QkrEXZOG_b4/XNt8cCJHw1I/AAAAAAAABII/lYSj9Q3mL_wa_CZ16WG6GQKqS9PPKm6SACLcBGAs/s640/Chip.jpe.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I decided to have some fun, I took out a bag of chocolate chips and my <a href="https://www.breareese.com/shop/">Brea Reese Watercolor Pan set</a> and started to paint.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I think now is a GREAT time to tell you that many stores are now carrying Brea Reese products! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Target, Hobby Lobby and Michael's. </span><br />
<br />
Do you know how hard it was to paint and not eat the chocolate chips?<br />
<br />
Every darn morsel sitting there all chocolate like, baiting me to take a bite. UGH!<br />
<br />
I did bite into a few morsels!<br />
<br />
LOL! It kept changing the image!<br />
<br />
The stage was set!<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.rinea.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Rinea</span></a> is a foiled double sided paper that holds it shape. It is truly amazing!<br />
<br />
Since it holds it's shape I wanted to try embossing and sanding to make some home decor and I will say I love the way it turned out!<br />

<br />
<br />
<div>
First choose your colors and embossing folder, emboss your paper.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I_1527mWGeI/XLIa9HvkEHI/AAAAAAAABD8/v4p30VZlWH4AIndFFkVuKz1NTvJEa2Z5gCEwYBhgL/s1600/Rinea2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1047" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I_1527mWGeI/XLIa9HvkEHI/AAAAAAAABD8/v4p30VZlWH4AIndFFkVuKz1NTvJEa2Z5gCEwYBhgL/s320/Rinea2.jpg" width="273" /></a></div>
</div>
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gLeQqiNJn2Q/XLIa90hTUpI/AAAAAAAABEI/CzjftVu8dT4GUW2eSvszy1avK07CnymDQCEwYBhgL/s1600/Rinea3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1520" height="189" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gLeQqiNJn2Q/XLIa90hTUpI/AAAAAAAABEI/CzjftVu8dT4GUW2eSvszy1avK07CnymDQCEwYBhgL/s320/Rinea3.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Once embossed, adhere Rinea paper to the block of wood. Make sure it is centered. Cut excess off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ba5jL_FrsrQ/XLIa-Ppb2_I/AAAAAAAABEE/H78EBORf_C0T9kfXlV8jgYE5awpoPYxIACEwYBhgL/s1600/Rinea4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1070" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ba5jL_FrsrQ/XLIa-Ppb2_I/AAAAAAAABEE/H78EBORf_C0T9kfXlV8jgYE5awpoPYxIACEwYBhgL/s640/Rinea4.jpg" width="538" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Take a fine grit sand paper or block and lightly sand over the paper.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1KzpH0CNnFg/XLIa-f7-61I/AAAAAAAABEQ/fjyq8gpQzcwzPhUvR-uLF8A_nKHtvy9iwCEwYBhgL/s1600/Rinea5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1350" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1KzpH0CNnFg/XLIa-f7-61I/AAAAAAAABEQ/fjyq8gpQzcwzPhUvR-uLF8A_nKHtvy9iwCEwYBhgL/s640/Rinea5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
See below how the shine of the paper in some areas are sanded. It still kept it's shape. Now just add antiquing medium to the whole block including the top.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b0whLmnRMxY/XLIa-vzgVzI/AAAAAAAABEI/0ORDH7Xe89Mqi1prBUWzCIflOqoG7St0ACEwYBhgL/s1600/Rinea6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1199" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b0whLmnRMxY/XLIa-vzgVzI/AAAAAAAABEI/0ORDH7Xe89Mqi1prBUWzCIflOqoG7St0ACEwYBhgL/s640/Rinea6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I added a coat of Matte varnish to protect. Let dry and they are ready to display!<br />
<br />
I think they are beautiful!<br />

I wet the inside of the elephant with water and start to add color. I build up color as I go along.<br />

<br />
Step 2.<br />
<br />
Start stenciling with ink color of choice. My choice was Lilac. Randomly place circle stencil till arrow is full of circles.<br />
<br />

<br />
Step 3.<br />
<br />
Using the ink like a watercolor paint the egg using ColorBox Ink. At this time you can also ink the words.<br />
<br />

<br />
Step 4.<br />
<br />
Arrow and egg should be heat set using a heat gun.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Step 5.<br />
<br />
Adhere words and bunny to the arrow and add string to hang.<br />
<br />

Hello friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I am working with <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.myartc.com/"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Art-C</span></a> </b></span>Mini House box kit. I am going to turn it into a little home for a cute little frog. </div>

<br />
I removed the pieces from the box and traced them onto paper to cut out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j1MytTNP7hs/XKQiI3qqEBI/AAAAAAAABCw/ZwgBfGTs8Eg-oebbijgMw8kB7-JXFlXuACEwYBhgL/s1600/art-c%2Bf2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="604" data-original-width="525" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j1MytTNP7hs/XKQiI3qqEBI/AAAAAAAABCw/ZwgBfGTs8Eg-oebbijgMw8kB7-JXFlXuACEwYBhgL/s640/art-c%2Bf2.jpg" width="556" /></a></div>
<br />
I did have to remember to cut two of each. Front and back. I then adhered them to the chipboard pieces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Today I am pretty excited to share a happy little hummingbird. I do pretend to be a water colorist, so with that being said.....I am pretty happy with the way this came out!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DbiDTY0cQCE/XKEh4aWEtTI/AAAAAAAABAY/ufwXQRviFcsRZh-YngrDPefazZN-5id2wCLcBGAs/s1600/Brea%2BReese%2BBird%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1468" data-original-width="1600" height="586" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DbiDTY0cQCE/XKEh4aWEtTI/AAAAAAAABAY/ufwXQRviFcsRZh-YngrDPefazZN-5id2wCLcBGAs/s640/Brea%2BReese%2BBird%2B3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
What I am not happy about is......I didn't use good paper and that makes a big difference! Watercolor paper would have been the right choice, however I was playing and didn't think it would turn out. Lesson learned, use good paper even if playing.<br />
<br />
Here is how I did this.<br />
<br />
Supplies:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.breareese.com/product/watercolor-pan-set-core-colors/"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><b>Brea Reese Watercolor Pan Set Core Colors</b></span></a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.breareese.com/product/watercolor-pan-set-metallic/"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><b>Brea Reese Watercolor Metallic</b></span></a></li>
<li>Watercolor Paper - Wish I did!</li>
<li><a href="https://www.breareese.com/product-category/pens-markers/"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><b>Water-based duel tip markers</b></span></a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.breareese.com/product-category/pens-markers/"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><b>Brea reese Fine Liners</b></span></a></li>
<li>Paintbrush</li>
<li>Water</li>
<li>Palette </li>
<li>Pencil</li>
</ul>
<div>
Instructions:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Sketch out bird and flower. No detail needed.</div>

<br />

3. Using the Water-based markers I added in some color.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Over the top of it all I came back with the Metallic water color and for detail I used the detail markers. You can really see the metallic on this hummingbird. It is beautiful. You will notice it in the final picture around the throat and chest.</div>

Step 3</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Start water coloring your image. Finish your image with a splatter of ink here and there. I used some leftover ink to splatter the envelope also.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I recieved the stencil from TCW that reminded me of spiders, then Rinea foil papers has a haunted pack of foil papers. DecoArt included a Brillant Purple. That convinced me to go Halloween!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I gathered all my supplies and started by painting the Graphic 45 Book Box Brilliant Purple. Set aside to dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next using the liquid Sculpey, I filled in the mold and baked according to manufacturers directions. In 15 minutes I had these adorable lace like embellishments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gIRXFDjoutY/XJRGcw80N5I/AAAAAAAAA_o/Lp2HuDQRG3knWKxkgVU8A40na0osG6l4gCEwYBhgL/s1600/swag%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="635" data-original-width="525" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gIRXFDjoutY/XJRGcw80N5I/AAAAAAAAA_o/Lp2HuDQRG3knWKxkgVU8A40na0osG6l4gCEwYBhgL/s400/swag%2B2.jpg" width="330" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Next, I cut and embossed my Rinea foil papers and adhered them to the top of the box. I lightly brushed paint onto the largest Sculpey embellishment and adhered it to the center of my box. Added some embellishments.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I used the TCW stencil to stencil on the tag book that was included in the Graphic 45 box.<br />
<br />

<div>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">So I wanted to put it to the test. I am using wood, card stock, burlap, cardboard, flowers. All different textures to see how well the Mod Podge Ultra works. I received a Matte finish, which I personally love. The do have a gloss finish also.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Supplies needed:</span></span></div>

</ul>
<div>
Step 1.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gather all supplies</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ce339sJ-VsI/XI6t9kvRGKI/AAAAAAAAA-g/pwOIcirDrigaXUNXHrgtHbHCuLBlTQ2OwCEwYBhgL/s1600/Modge%2BPodge%2B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="718" data-original-width="800" height="574" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ce339sJ-VsI/XI6t9kvRGKI/AAAAAAAAA-g/pwOIcirDrigaXUNXHrgtHbHCuLBlTQ2OwCEwYBhgL/s640/Modge%2BPodge%2B.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step 2.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tear off top layer of cardboard and set aside.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LALJCkCpqUY/XI6t-GuYGCI/AAAAAAAAA-U/-YzvVluII1MdvHNWyx-gm8JRHUksPJNrACEwYBhgL/s1600/Modge%2BPodge%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="812" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LALJCkCpqUY/XI6t-GuYGCI/AAAAAAAAA-U/-YzvVluII1MdvHNWyx-gm8JRHUksPJNrACEwYBhgL/s640/Modge%2BPodge%2B1.jpg" width="630" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step 3.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Start adhering your pieces to the wood, cardboard to the card stock, burlap to the cardboard. Adhere bird to card stock using Mod Podge Ultra. Let sit a bit so that it can be cut out.</div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 4.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut bird card stock as close to wood as possible. Using a file you can file the edges off. Distress ink around bird and outside edges of plaque. Adhere on flowers bird and sentiment.</div>

Step 5. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Spray a mist of Mod Podge Ultra over entire surface to give a seal coat if desired! Final and VERY IMPORTANT tip.......wipe sprayer off after each use! You don't want the sprayer to seal itself closed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You are finished!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really liked the way the Mod Podge Ultra worked. I did have a tough time with my paper adhering to the wood, the paper had a shiny surface and I believe that was the issue. I used it on regular card stock and had no problem. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mod Podge Ultra came in handy one afternoon when my g-daughter stopped over with a necklace she made at daycare. It was GLITTER added to a shell and it was coming off all over. I sprayed a sealer coat of Mod Podge Ultra, we left it to dry and it was good to go! No stickiness, but most important.......NO GLITTER!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step 1.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Starting with Ann's Stencil Girl stencil, tape it down in place where you are going to stencil. Using your stencil brush, pick up some of the Sunshine ink and dab off on paper towel. Brush some of the ink onto stencil, blend in some Tangelo ink to get the blended ombre effect. Do this on all four sides. Heat set with heat gun.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step 2.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Using Ann's ColorBox inks as a watercolor, paint in your sentiment.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 1.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Outline five petals - worried about doing this free hand....they are basic heart like shape if you look.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YDey4MIMpp8/XIkxcL86WvI/AAAAAAAAA80/qSe5_OIzCTgVpVY_Ccz1KoW0ci9pYHvjACLcBGAs/s1600/Brea%2BReese%2Bcard%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1428" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YDey4MIMpp8/XIkxcL86WvI/AAAAAAAAA80/qSe5_OIzCTgVpVY_Ccz1KoW0ci9pYHvjACLcBGAs/s640/Brea%2BReese%2Bcard%2B1.jpg" width="570" /></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 2.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mix together some Cadmium Red and Cadmium Yellow and add to tips and center.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n687A2_NnJ0/XIkxcfBaBEI/AAAAAAAAA88/eDCT-RqnBoEI5EvnhmoZ6hNH54ayGz2wwCLcBGAs/s1600/Brea%2BReese%2Bcard%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1557" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n687A2_NnJ0/XIkxcfBaBEI/AAAAAAAAA88/eDCT-RqnBoEI5EvnhmoZ6hNH54ayGz2wwCLcBGAs/s640/Brea%2BReese%2Bcard%2B2.jpg" width="622" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 3.<br />
<br />
Background was done by first using Ocean Green and while still wet, add some Lake Blue to your liking. Let dry. You can speed up drying process with a heat gun. Once dry you can splatter some Lake Blue over card, try not to get it on flower.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2fYZFP1qaNM/XIkxdOvOijI/AAAAAAAAA9A/_YXCoYc4Wk4ElrqXgb9sdMHyHIpArC9gACLcBGAs/s1600/Brea%2BReese%2Bcard%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1433" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2fYZFP1qaNM/XIkxdOvOijI/AAAAAAAAA9A/_YXCoYc4Wk4ElrqXgb9sdMHyHIpArC9gACLcBGAs/s640/Brea%2BReese%2Bcard%2B3.jpg" width="572" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 4.<br />
<br />
Add scribble lines around flower and card base. Add tiny circles in middle of flower. Add any sentiment you like.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ojJywRCPgj0/XFi-Vir5x5I/AAAAAAAAA7E/tb_qi0ob5akhr7wGOlzKwx25yExi89ZswCEwYBhgL/s1600/Canvas%2Bheart%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ojJywRCPgj0/XFi-Vir5x5I/AAAAAAAAA7E/tb_qi0ob5akhr7wGOlzKwx25yExi89ZswCEwYBhgL/s640/Canvas%2Bheart%2B1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step 1.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Using a piece of copy paper, print a heart out or draw your own. Cut out inside of heart. This will be your stencil pattern.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step 2.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Place stencil over fabric and stamp the open area using Flourish Wonder Stamp. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step 4.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
<a href="https://www.breareese.com/"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Brea Reese</span></a> was having a challenge and I had picked up some of there products and had never opened them. What better time to open each and every product that I had from them and USE them!!!<br />
I had watercolor glitter inks, watercolor inks. watercolor duel tip markets and even some fine line markers. Heck yeah, I can do this!<br />
<br />
What was I thinking when I decided to do a 31 day challenge in DECEMBER?<br />

I had so much fun laying color down that her hair must have changed color at least five times!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I added inks over her face and gave her more definition and highlights. I love the combinations of Ann Butler inks and Lisa Marie Jimenez Colorique, they came together beautifully.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just look at her face! Isn't she dreamy?</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I added some modeling paste and added ink over the top. I colored the feathers with Ann's ink Limelight, Berry and Colorique Turquoise Mountain. The Colorique Poppy gave me a rusty feel that I loved and I can't wait to do more with it. With Rita's stencil it made this girl so easy to do! I used Colorique to add color to the little wooden hearts.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I had a paint, paint, paint, squirrel moment!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I pulled out some buttons I use for mixed media and had to try the Colorique on them and LOOK!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used the Verdigris and Poppy!</div>
