Hi crafty friends, today I am back with a cute watercolor project what I created with the most portable watercolor sheets ever! Rohitha, from the Viviva Team, was super kind and sent me their handmade Single Set Watercolorsheets to try out! 

I was super excited when I received it! I love its design and look, even the envelope was amazing and handcrafted! 

As you can see on the photos, this watercolor set is super thin and portable. My type Includes 16 ultra-vibrant colors. This watercolor palette is the perfect choice to bring with you to the crop events, or when you are on trip, and you want to take with you some coloring! Trust me it’s ultra super thin! 😊 

Between the shades you can find special water resistant sheets, so your colors will be divided even when they are wet! Under the watercolor paint, you can find a frame which is color coded. If you want you can make your swatch in that frame and you are ready to go! You can use them everywhere you like! 😊 

I decided to show you how vibrant it is, so I pulled my watercolor sketchbook and I painted a little fall with Lawn Fawn stamps. But before I started to color I swatched all the colors. Girl!!! You need only a bit of that paint, it’s oh so pigmented! 

For the stamping I have used the Jump for Joy and the A bug Deal stamp sets by Lawn Fawn. For the stamping I have used the Crunchy Leaf inkpad. After a quick heat set, I wet the watercolor paper and started to build up the scene. 

I wanted to create a nice fall sunset, and with these colors it was really easy. When the background was done, I stamped the leaves from the Jump for Joy stamp set to another watercolor paper and colored the leaves with the randomly picked colors. 

My top favorite colors are the “Viridian”, the “Magenta”, the “Light Green” and the “Chrome Yellow”. All the shades are fantastic, but these are the holy grail for me! 😊 

I am absolutely in love with this palette and this extra thin friend is going to my small travel bag! The Viviva colorseets has amazing and rich shades and it fits to your penholder as well. If you have never tried it consider to get one for yourself and it’s a perfect Christmas present for a crafty friend as well. 😊

Hello lovelies and welcome to the Heffy Doodle Friends Blog Hop. Today I am showing you a cute pony card inspiration with the newest release! I hope you will enjoy it.

As always, you can find the supply list below the post. Now let see the cardmaking and also don't forget to comment on my blog, because there is a giveaway too! Yaaay! 

I started the cardmaking with ink blending. I have used lighter Distress Oxide Inkpads first in rainbow order in the following shades: Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade, Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac. When it was done, I put on my ink blending through the Rays The Roof stencil and created darker lines through the stencil. I have used the Peacock Fathers, Moved Lawn, Fossilized Amber, Picked Raspberry, and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inkpads. 

When the ink blending was done, I run the blended cardstock with the Imperial Stitched Rectangles Dies (the second largest) through my Die-cut machine. After that I splattered on it with white and gold Gansai Tambi Watercolors and let it dry. 

The next step was the stamping and coloring. I have used the Fluffy Puffy Unicorns Stamps and Dies. Aren’t they adorable? I have a few more inspirations with these cutenesses. I will show them in the end of my post. I stamped them with my MISTI and this time I colored them as Ponies from the My Little Pony movies. 

For the coloring I have used my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers. The used colors for Ponies are: CT1, CT3, CT4, LY1, GY1, GY2, GY3, BO1, BO2, DR2, MG3, MG1, PP4, PP2, PP1, PV3, HB1, LV1, LV3, PL3, TB5, TV4, TB2, TB1, IB1, IG2, BGR4, DG3, LG4, LG3, Blender. 

When the coloring was done, I adhered the Ponies to the background with 3D foam adhesive. Next I run the Starry Rainbow Die, the Stitched Alphabetter Dies and the “To my” Word Heffy Cuts through my Die-cut machine with white cardstock. I created the sentiment then embellished with the stars from the Starry Rainbow die, then styled and put my card together. 

I hope you have enjoyed my inspirations for today, see you next time and good luck in the giveaway! Mona

Hi crafty friends! It's Mona here, today I am participating in a very special blog and Instagram hop, the Papercrafters Unite Against Racism Blog Hop! I am super excited that you are here and reading my post, because this message is really important! 

The goal of this hop is to come together to stand behind our crafty sisters and brothers of colour not just in the art industry, but also to show our support in the never-ending fight for equality all over the world. Feel free to check Justine Hovey's blog for more information.

Today I created a simple, but for me a really cute friendship card, where these cute bunnies and bears from Mama Elephant Stamps are supporting each other. I started the cardmaking with Stamping and Masking. The used supplies you can find below the post.

I stamped the bunny image from the Mama Elephant - Fuzzy Hug Stamp Set with Dark Chocolate Hybrid Ink Pad in my MISTI. I created a mask with Masking Magic, and fussycut it. When it was done I stamped the hugging bears image as well and added heat set to my images. Next, I started the coloring with my Copic Markers. I created different skin tones for each critter. The used copic markers you can find on the following image. When the coloring was done, I added white highlights with Signo Uniball White Pen and fussycut the finished image.

The next step was the background. I made a gradient inkblending with Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Hickory Smoke and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxides. After the inkblending I splattered on in with blue and white watercolor and let it dry. 

In the end I die-cut the Hugs sentiment by Heffy Doodle from white and pink cardstock as well as the Scalloped Rectangle Frames by Lawn Fawn and put my card together with 3D adhesives.

I hope you have enjoyed my post, now it's time to hop to your next stop to the talented Natasha Davies.
