Holy cow, how did it get to be April 1st? Did you play any April’s Fool’s jokes on anyone? Did anyone play a good one on you? I’d love to hear them all, leave me a comment (scroll all the way to the bottom of this page and type in where it says “Leave a response”) thanks!
Today’s post is a quick one, to showcase some recent cards I made and featured in my March Watercoloring Class at the Scotia-Glenville Continuing Education program. I’d love to hear from you- which one do you like best?
This first card was made using So Detailed Dragonflies from the Occasions Catalog, Shimmer White card stock, Rich Razzleberry re-inker, Tempting Turquoise re-inker, (colored with the aqua painter) and finished with clear Wink of Stella. Can you see the shimmer on the wings of the dragonflies?
This card base was made with Watercolor Paper and our awesome watercolor pencils. I used Rich Razzelberry, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight pencils and the aqua painter to blend.
Well, that’s it for now, are you ready to go check out the amazing Kimberley’s blog post? I love her work! Just click the “Next Blog” button below.

I love dragonflies, and blue (okay, turquoise in this case), so of course that one is my favorite card 😉 I love that you watercolored them onto Shimmery White card stock and then added even MORE shimmer to the wings with the Wink of Stella. Thanks for sharing!

I’m not a April fools fun person, but my neice had a car repair garage hook the horn up to the brake so every time her husband pressed the break down the horn honked. Not a fun day in rush hour traffic for him. Fun cards – that all look great.
