                                        Holmade Laura: July-August 2015 Sketch

                                        Monday, August 3, 2015. I made this card for the July-August Sketch. At the Enjoy Michael Strong Stamps Yahoo Group. You can see the sketch. Here on Hetty's blog. I'm just having so much fun with watercolors. Just wanted to mention that my friend gave me my set of 28 watercolor "cakes". I think they are made by Simbalion. I cut a scalloped circle from my "faux" watercolor paper with a Nestabilities die. Then cut a square slightly larger than the circle. And embossed it with Cuttlebug's Tiny Bubbles.

                                        Saturday, August 1, 2015. Aqua Painter Birthday Beach Cards. Inspiration for these two birthday cards was from Julie Gearinger's blog. I used the same "faux" watercolor paper as on Thursday's post. For the aqua painting:. Place distress inkpads directly on craft sheet. Pick up color with aqua painter. Use distress abandoned coral for the sky-mask the sun with a circle first,. Mermaid lagoon for water,. Mowed lawn and frayed burlap for palm trees. Because I had forgotten to emboss them. Gecko in mowed lawn.

                                        Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Here are the first three diaper burp cloths I made for Emily and John's soon to arrive baby boy! I used Lauren's Burp Cloth Tutorial from her blog, The Thinking Closet. Really liked the way she overlapped the decorative fabric on the short ends of the diaper. After preshrinking the Gerber prefolded diapers, I ironed them flat. It is worth the trouble because you won't have puckers when you sew the decorative fabric on top. Than the area you are covering.
